Making Friends Or Making Enemies?



Either I'm starting to be more comfortable with things over here at the new office or I really hate everyone. Because today, for the first time since I started, I brought a container of nice, pungent kimchee to go with my lunch.

Pam, they deserve to smell "putrid-ness" for not wolfing down your delicious cookies. Let the smell of the kimchee be a lesson to your co-workers that "hell hath no fury like a Pam scorned." Plus, smelling kimchee ain't all that bad. At least it wasn't stinky tofu.

Pamela, i need to shoot a photo of this sign at my work posted above the microwave oven about nuking 'flavorful' food. I KNOW it's directed at me. Sometimes when i'm using the microwave, this one woman would come over and give me the eye and shut the door. Could she be more obvious?

Dylan and Pam,

I can relate to co-workers complaining about emanating food smells. People say things about what my Indian colleagues heat up in the microwave. While they pinch their nose as they walk by, I find their food smells great! And it makes my mouth water.

Dylan,

Yeah, you know you're bringing "stinky tofu" to work! ha ha! You have to take a pic of that sign! I say take her to HR for "Food Discrimination"!

Elmo,

I'm the same--those kinds of food smells make my mouth water too!

On my last day of work, i'm going out like a bomb. I'm going to leave a jar of kimchee, taiwanese stinky tofu and thai shrimp paste on her desk with a note saying:

"JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE A BURGER OR SPAGHETTI, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NASTY!!!! DON'T HATE BIATCH!"

Sorry about that, i couldn't contain myself.

For me, Indian food is the new hunger aphrodisiac -- such unique, foreign smells. Can't wait to buy all the ingredients for Indian food.

ED&BM,

I would replace the sign saying "Flavorful Food Only"

Bring on the sign war.

Kimchee and soju at work? Hmm, that's an HR issue right there. LOL!
