Open letter to my office re: Holiday Foodstuffs

[Sock Puppet]

I realize it is early in the month, but we are already falling behind last year's pace. I don't wish to point fingers at anyone, but I have been increasingly dissatisfied with the quality, but especially the quantity, of free holiday-related food left out in the department's kitchen. If it weren't for C___, there would have been no free food whatsoever thus far this month. Not even those generic-looking sugar cookies that everybody wants to unload this time of year.

I nearly had to buy my own breakfast this morning. This is completely unacceptable. I may have to rethink my entire holiday budget if this continues. I won't, obviously, change anything, but I will rethink it.

Some people around here certainly need to be reminded of the true meaning of the holidays, i.e., bringing me free food. For shame.

You know, it's been the same at my work. I need a little sugar for my mid morning break and the grinches have brought nothing. I broke down and made sugar cookies to take tommorrow, so hopefully it will break the trend.

Ha ha ha, my plan is working!

The horror! :scared:

I just took inventory around here: pretty skimpy, folks, pretty skimpy.

I think someone is hoarding the chocolate covered half-inch thick toffee that we always get from that candy store in Grand Junction, Colorado, gifts from several vendors and customers. The greedy bastages just aren't in the holiday spirit, are they?

I got an e-mail about some homemade cookies upstairs, but you know, upstairs.

We get stuff from the different trucking companies. Two week old, stack in a trucker' sweaty sleeper, cookies that are slimy because all the jelly on them melted. Pass.

But, we do get some good stuff, too. A wide selection of calenders to choose from. Caps, tees, pens, post-it pads, letterhead.

In the warehouse, we never have to up front and get office supplies.

As far as the snack from home, we're all set. The guy on nightwork, his wife baked as a career. Now that she's retired, we eat at Christmas. Banana bread, cookies, crispy things I've never heard of, but will eat one every time I go into the shipping office.

That woman can bake.

You can't eat that!
:yuck:

[quiet bear]

No, but they are Christmas goodies.

We don't run in the same circles as the people up front. They eat better up there.

[inland wave]

Absolutley no goodies around my area. Unlike downstairs... I walked by my old stomping grounds this morning and they had stuff all over the place. I was invited to a party down south for friday night. A few people from our group are going down to eat steak and harrass our coworkers from the field. I think I will pass. Got to much to do around here.

LOLOLOL.

I was actually waiting for Mr. Dingfod to reply. He did not let me down.

[Shelli]

I hope some nice salesman comes by today and drops off some goodies. :ginger:

COOOOOKIES!!! :cookiem:

[Watser?]

We are still in the Sinterklaas :sinterklaas: zone here (today unofficially, tomorrow officially), but so far the loot is impressive. We have tons of pepernoten/kruidnoten (pepernuts/spicenuts) which are basically very small cookies and some other candy.
