I'm sensing a theme, here

Today is the last day of classes for MWF teachers. Three people have stopped by my office this morning to tell me they brought doughnuts to class and leftovers are in the break room. I suspect tomorrow's being the last day of TR classes, things will be much the same.



The universe is taunting me.

No shit. It's (almost) laughable. Next week, it'll be laughable. Right now it's just really awful.

So, are you paying people to take them away yet?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2010-05-05 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm playing it safe by just not leaving my office. Hopefully by the time I have to pee, they'll all be gone.

You're taunting me!

Misery loves company.

OM NOM NOM

I feel your pain. We always end up with huge platters of brownies. :(

Evil, evil, evil.

What is wrong with people?

Seriously! I thought the whole point of free food was that students were supposed to pile it on napkins and cart it away? Apparently they didn't get the memo.

I'm amazed at how students don't dig in like they used to anymore. It's a very weird cultural shift. Can't say it's a bad thing, it's just odd. And it's taking a while for the previous generation to grasp it--and buy less food.

I think it's also dependent on what variety of food is being offered. Last year we always provided cookies for events and they wouldn't last five minutes. This year it's brownies and people barely touch them. I have no idea why the difference since ten (full-sized, gooey chocolate chip) cookies don't have fewer calories than one brownie, even though the students appear to think this.

Ours just aren't interested in hardly anything. Boy, the faculty can sure pack it away, though.

That's it. I'm buying the gluten-free brownie mix on my way home.

FEH!

Enjoy every single bite of 'em! Mmmmmm....

If I thought they would stand being mailed I'd mail you some just to get them out of the office! xD

REFUSE TO BE THWARTED!! You will do it!

A quick peek on my unofficial scale this morning (the one in the bathroom; I use the WiiFit for my official weighing) showed me down a pound already since Friday so I am feeling super great, despite that icky feel of impending period which is due any day now...

SUCK IT, EVIL DOUGHNUTS!

Congrats on the pound down! Yay! *clink!*

Mmmm. Eat a doughnut and think of me?

[identity profile] funky-peacenik.livejournal.com 2010-05-05 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
totally.

so my craft room is put together! There needs to be a glue shit down day at some point.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2010-05-05 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Congratulations!

Alas, at this point, I dunno that there's gonna be time for a glue shit down day until after KCRF.

But I'll let you know.

Woah, freaky! One of my coworkers kept coming in and out of my room while I was teaching and she finally brought me a (delicious) red cake doughnut as a way of apologizing. Apparently, there were leftovers in the teacher's lounge.

Doughnuts abound today.
