The email I sent out yesterday to the staff list serve at work:

Okay, so, I’ve always heard stories about this happening at the work place… but I never expected it to happen to me. Honestly, I’ve always wondered how it could possibly even be true! People stealing other people’s lunches from the community fridge? That doesn’t really happen, right? WRONG! All those stories were true!

Yesterday I brought a Healthy Choice meal to eat for lunch. I wasn’t that excited about eating it, to be honest. I mean, come on, it’s just a healthy choice frozen dinner. No one actually likes those; they’re just a healthy, quick alternative to having a real lunch. Then, when I realized we had box lunches for employers and LeAnn offered me a chicken salad sandwich (Thanks, LeAnn!) I almost cried with joy knowing my frozen lunch would be put off for one more day. I happily shoved it into the freezer thinking I’d just pick up tomorrow where I left off. I never realized I’d be personally vandalized and without lunch (theoretically) come Wednesday.

Imagine my surprise when this morning I went to fill up with ice and my delicious, frozen piece of processed (but healthy) heaven was missing from the “safe space” in the executive lounge! I am so mad; but mad in the way that makes people say “It’s the principal of the matter!” I don’t really care all that much that my frozen meal is gone, but seriously, why would someone take it?

If you’re hungry, let me know. I’ll buy you a sandwich next time. Roly Poly’s delivers, and they’re super fast, too! Just don’t steal other people’s lunches. That’s lame.

Love,
Holly M.
