Fun at Work, Part 3

Many of you (meaning 3 of the 4 of you) may be thinking "Part Three? When were parts One and Two?" And then you notice that there are suddenly links in your question!

The medical students get fed more than the homeless in Palisades Park. (Ask Joe - when his college ministry group would go there, the most common answer to "Would you like a sandwich?" was "What type is it?" and many turned down the PB&J.) While working in a laboratory often means eating when you can smell some very disgusting things, here it also means often eating a cold sandwich when all you can smell is BBQ or some other delicious lunch.

But today was different. A co-worker (June Bug if you read the other posts - he is well known for his scavenging expertise) opened my door and said they had pizza down the hall. He didn't have to say it, the cheesy, buttery smell could only mean one thing: Pizza Hut. I headed down the hall and noticed that the medical students had already been through the line and that everyone getting pizza was from neighboring labs. I also noticed that two nicely-dressed people were standing near the pizza. This usually means office employees are guarding the food for the medical students, but since I knew everyone down there, I kept on my path. [They were both Indian, so imagine the words they spoke with the overly enunciated English that comes with Indian accents.] As I came close, the woman greeted me and said "There is pizza, bottles of water, and these cookies." I thanked her and was taking a slice of pizza when the man said "We have many more! Please eat until your heart is content!" That made me smile. I guess I'd never thought about that phrase, and and it's probably not something that medical professionals should suggest, but it was very kind and made my Friday.
