This truly is one of my favorite tags to post under – because you just never know what you’re going to get. And usually, it’s something that has made my heart very giggly.
Today’s adventure in words finds Bridget and I in our closet getting some work done when the afternoon munchies set in. Now there is a very evil drawer in our closet – as it houses all of the candy for our department (and other various visitors who stop by because they know it’s there). Often times our stocking guy (I’m just now realizing I honestly don’t know what his position with the company really is) will pick up one of the huge combo bags of candy from Costco and dump it in the candy draw- hang on…
…before I finish that thought, it’s important you understand what I mean when I say “candy drawer”. The PR candy drawer is quite literally the second drawer of our full sized upright filing cabinet. THIS is our version of a candy dish. We are, after all, the PR department and we’re all excitedly motivated by food. Especially the “not good for you” kind. Here endeth tangent #1 for today’s post.
… from Costco and dump it in the candy drawer. And he gets the good stuff – the mixed bag with Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups, Twix, Almond Joy, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, etc. So denying it is virtually impossible. As the cycle goes, everyone will start by grabbing a couple of their favorites throughout the day. After a week or so we’re down to just the stuff that isn’t anyone’s favorite, but it’s ok if there’s nothing left. The final state of this process is when there’s stuff that you’re just waiting for someone, anyone to eat so we can start back at the beginning again.
Now we are currently right at the tip of the last stage. And I’ve already snagged a couple of the ones that still fall into my “like” category, but my munchies are still not quite satisfied.
So I voice my frustration to my hbp…and this is where today’s it happened.
Dottie: (in a frustrating tone) I have the munchies!
Bridget: (who has immediately started laughing so hard breathing is presenting a challenge) WHAT did you just say to me?
Dottie: <blink, blink> I have the munchies? <blink, blink> And what did you think I said…?
Breathing became much harder for her at this juncture – and is also the location of today’s magical moment….
Bridget: I HAVE BUTT CHEESE!!!
Apparently should I ever really find myself in such a predicament, Bridget’s not the one I want to confide in!
Now if only I had illustrations for this like Hyperbolie and a Half…
