Sugar Buzz!!

I am going to start skipping meetings at work. The meetings are not the problem it is the food that is served for each and every meeting.

Staff meetings have coffee, cookies and sometime bagels.

Director level meetings have everything above with the addition of teas, sodas, and a few more sweet items. Brownies and coffee cake things seem to be popular this week.

Lunch meetings are loaded with cakes and multiple meal options except for the sole vegetarian of the group. I load up on salad and avoid the beefy woman smacking on pork chops.

There is the biggie twice per month. The entire leadership group gets together and cover budget items and such. The topics are not nearly as important as the food. Multiple cakes and brownies, quiches, all sorts of cookies and snack foods. People load plates before and after these meetings. I have never seen spreads like this company puts out and the food is excellent!!! I am surprised everyone there is not 500 lbs.

Today was something where everyone was served cake and ice cream. I am not sure the reason, but come 2pm everywhere I looked staff had cake and ice cream. It is so hard to be good when food is everywhere!!

I want to see the budget for food and who is responsible...thank god its not my department!!!
