the treat table

I work for the creative team here at little software company. In our area we have two tables used for chatting, bitching and occasionally for work. Mostly, we just sit around these tables and graze. The one across from my cube is the treat table. Since today is Mary’s birthday, the treat table doth overflow. In fact drew, our art director, just walked in and was blown away by the bounty of treats.

‘holy shit, jodi.’
‘yes, our treat table doth overflow. Pick your poison.’

The contents of the table, which has overflowed to the table directly behind me, include:
Milky ways
Hershey kisses
Hershey miniatures (including my favorite special dark)
Skittles
M&Ms (peanut and plain)
Twizzlers
Wavy Lays
Cracker Barrel Cheddar Pretzels
Plain Pretzels
Pepperidge Farm Nantucket cookies (which say on the label ‘the best chocolate chunk cookie ever!’
Pepperidge Farm Sausilito cookies (which also say, ‘the best chocolate chunk cookie ever!’ hey, I thought the Nantucket was the best ever!)
Crunch N Munch
Baked Tostitos Salsa and Cheddar
Candy Corn
Gummi LifeSavers
An assortment of Brugger’s Bagels

Is it any wonder I go home from work with a tummy ache?

    We used to have a “candy shelf” at a place I worked at, it was always fully stocked with EVERYTHING under the sun — multiple kinds of M&Ms, Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Skittles, Mounds, Butterfingers, Twizzlers… plus, there were peanut butter Ritz sandwiches, Smartfood, trail mix… is it any wonder I put on 10 pounds working there?

    we used to have a shelf like keith describes and, when new people started or it was someone’s birthday, treat tables too. then the whole “dotcom bust economic downturn etc” hit and now we have pretzels and red vines, i kid ye not.
