Treats at work

[CrazyKell]

Anyone work in the kind of place where people bring in treats on a semi-regular basis?

I hardly ever bake at my own apartment (too small of a kitchen, and too hot in the summer).....but now that I'm housesitting at my parent's I'm a baking machine.

I can't stop myself.

Yesterday it was Lemon Squares.

Today it was Giada's Lemon Ricotta Cookies

Everyone here thinks I'm nesting.

Monday I will attempt to make a peach-raspberry pie!

Yes, but I dont eat them.

We have vendors that bring in cookies/bagels/donuts/lunch on occasion, but we don't really have any bakers that work here.

occassionally, system engineering does it on a weekly basis though

If it's your birthday you're supposed to bring in treats for everyone.

Someone brought in a McEwan's cheesecake last week.

It's hard to be good about what you eat when there are treats around all the time.

Who made up that stupid ass rule? People are suppose to bring you treats and cake on your birthday. I am not buying/making people food on my own birthday.

My assistant has the worst diet ever.

She constantly has treats, snacks, junk food, etc. at her desk or in the kitchen area.

She is also a phenomenal cook and everytime she brings in a new dish to share, she expects us all to partake.

It's been like this at a few places I work.

I think it makes more sense.

If you left it up to others, you might not get treats, or the same person would always be making it for everyone.

This way, you bring in your own, but then you get to partake in everyone else's too.

I sit beside someone like that.

On an hourly basis I hear the crack of a coke can, the opening of chip bags, cookie bags, etc.

Yeah, not getting any wouldn't be an issue for me, me bringing in stuff for everyone would be. Fuck that shit, it's stupid.
