Pot Luck
Just when I was starting to think there were many redeeming qualities in my co-workers, they remembered my birthday and brought me gifts! The annual office lunch party happened. It is today and it is a mess! The day started with not one, not two but four different co-workers stopping by my office to see if it is time to go to the pot-luck lunch. I actually do work occasionally and had to delay my leaving for a few minutes. Finally I gave up and agreed to go over there, and there was no food! Given that this is a pot-luck lunch and I am not a chef; I brought soda. Well apparently no one is chef here, because there is only soda and desserts available. Not that I have an aversion to eating dessert for lunch, but I have already eaten a ton of chocolate today, curtsey of Hop-Hop. It is suppose to start at noon, but 30 minutes later it still has not started. Exasperated I returned to my office, I have no desire to hang out and chit chat with the freaks and geeks. However I should eat something besides chocolate today, maybe there is food now. How much do you want to bet that it is all gone?
I arrived only to hear one of my co-workers comment that the food is better on the second floor. I turned to him and said, "You should really stop and count to three before you say anything in the future."

Hopefully I'll never have to experience the "joy" that is the office potluck ever again. But I think you learn more about your co-workers in events like this than you ever do in meetings, projects, etc.

I know more about my co-workers than I ever wanted to already!
