Candy-Cam

Thank goodness I didn't give up chocolate for Lent. I love Cadbury Eggs. They make my slow day at the office a little more bearable (besides email paranoia). At Walgreen's they are 2 for $1. Nice.
I have an entire basket at my desk. I bought this basket to work last Tuesday. It is not to be confused with the community candy tray that sits about 5 feet away from my desk. Every month or more like each week when the bowl is empty, candy lasts a week around here, someone buys more candy and fills the bowl up. There is another bowl in a different department. The cheap department. Their bowl is never full of candy treats. Since everyone has to walk by my department to leave the office; that other department always puts their hand in our bowl. No one minds. That was the case until today when I realized that my personal candy bowl is being mistaken for the communal candy bowl. Not that I was counting, well I was eye-balling it---these are Cadbury Eggs for goodness sake! They only come once a year. Anyway, I was eye-balling my bowl and there was about 10 eggs in there this morning. I had one before lunch. There are now 2 eggs in my bowl. Two! WTF?!?!
I'm not selfish, really I'm not. This means that someone is taking eggs whenever I'm away from my desk. Sly. If they did so while I was here; it'd be fine. Since they are making it a Special-Ops event, I am mad. There is a candy jar three steps away from here and it has a diverse selection of candy to choose from...why mess with my eggs?
WHY?

Don't be ashamed for counting your eggs. I would be the same way. I have found that in an office setting people see any type of food on your desk as fair game. If I were you, I would lock those babies up. Holy crap they are so good.

I feel bad. I never have crap to offer to my coworkers. I'm the one bumming other people's goodies.

At least Bev is honest...how many times have you bummed my chocolate??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I make a candy run every once in a blue moon b/c my sweet tooth is working overtime, come back w/those bags of Reese's miniatures or Hershey Kisses, and lock 'em up like they are gold. Listen to Sarah---keep 'em hidden. I'm more than happy to share though if someone asks me if I have chocolate--I just don't leave them in plain sight b/c then I'll only get to eat oh like 2 candies...Erin
