What a Difference a Week Makes
I swear, last week, she posted this picture of beautiful dark cupcakes with white icing, and green and white sprinkles, and the NYT company logo on each one. Fanciest cupcakes I ever saw. Either the staff complained again, like somebody allegedly did with the boxed logo lunches, or revenues dropped big with the Dem outlook in the past few days...
They are serving up, rice cakes today. No paper plates, but maybe those are edible tissues in the background too? Moral: don't eat the company boxed lunches or cupcakes or get dependent on the free pizza, because it never lasts. In the end, it will just be a tube of organic rice cakes for the hungriest... (and no beer for the horses.)
-------------------------
*Wait, somebody took a bite out of that one and left it behind!
(Please tell me they are not making staffers share the rice cakes, like in It's a Wonderful LIfe -- "just take what few bites you need to get you through for now, and leave some behind for others too?") (Maybe they could take up a collection of top-desk-drawer condiments, in case anyone has extra honey or sunflower butter to leave as a smorgasboard of condiment toppings for the rice cakes.** Ketchup and mustard always welcomed too. It's America, afterall. Do a loaves and fishes on the shared rice-cake table, people! Show 'em what you got to share, and offer it up!) (We call it (the dreaded) POTLUCK here in the Midwest, where hotdish (casserole to you and me) is king. nttawwt. hearty food in the cold. But... I'm not sure Potluck, where people bring in offerings from home, would be pot-free on the coasts, so don't call it that because not everybody -- myself included -- enjoys or partakes of edibles even. hth. Otherwise, all office hospitality is good, right? Just say no, if you're not into pizza or cupcakes or rice cakes, but something is gonna be on that shared table one day, surely, that you will like to try!)
** There's a drinking fountain in office, right? Rice cakes with sunflower butter sounds dry. Is the water free, sir? Sad, but you learn to ask these things nowadays.
