Food around the Y is a major commodity. The other day I had a few sandwiches leftover from a meeting and I put them in the fridge. 20 minutes later when I went to get one, they were gone. I wish I had a camera to see who steals food.
At this time of year friends of the Y always bring food to us. When I take it the office to share, all of a sudden everyone has business near the copy machine. Some people I haven’t seen in 14 or 15 months, but as soon as we display some banana bread they visit the shredder.
Sometimes I will get something really good and I have to debate, “Do I take this to the office and share, or do I put this in my drawer and keep for myself.” Don’t laugh at me if you visit my office and you find Alan and me with white powdered sugar on our face!
My Christmas resolution this year is to share the cookies! In fact, I want just take them to the copy room, but I will walk them around the building and give to the staff who never get cookies. I’ll give them to the members so they’ll take a few more laps around the treadmill!
On second thought, I’ll share the popcorn, but Alan and I may just have to keep a special guard over the cookies.
Make sure if you bring me something, put my name on it and seal it up tight. If not, it will be gone by the time I see the crumbs in the bottom of the tin!
