Oh, I DO wish people wouldn't bring food into the work space.
Yesterday it was french fries. Today it is some kinds of savory hot dish. It's driving me crazy.

What do I have for lunch? A yogurt and grapes, and I'll get soup.

I'd rather get the savory hot dish, whatever that is. I understand they also have fried chicken today. :banghead:

Sigh.

NRN - thanks for listening.

1. Just imagine all those lovely smells
as simply a mask for evil fat molecules, intent on lining the interiors of your arteries.

It may not help, but it's worth a shot. :)

2. Prepare a nice blueberry bagel with Limburger cheese and sardines - leave it by the microwave.
Open face, of course. That should cut down on the food smells in the office.

4. LOL I like it!
But there are no microwaves on this floor. There's one by the vending machine on 7, near Supply and the Mailroom, and there are six in the cafeteria. That's it.

But I could nuke a fish dish up there and bring it down. Hmm. Good idea you gave me. :thumbsup:

5. Just put the sardines (mustard packed) in an old soup tub and nuke them.

6. I don't mind unless it's Liver and Onions or Kim Chee
:puke:

the smell of either is bleah!

the smell of liver and onions requires me to excuse myself so that the wretching will stop (not kidding).
