Subway Melt - Unpleasant Stink in the Office

It took well over an hour for the Subway Melt stench to disappear.

Take Away Food - Munch it Elsewhere

Its the last Monday in July and following a sublime weekend of nothing but lazing around in the sunshine, recharging the batteries I had an early start to the day - all is well....until....

9:10am and a disgusting waft of fast food fills the workspace. A colleague immediately remarks that its "stinky" and windows are opened but nothing seems to be able to rid the place of the dreadful pong - far worse than this report that "something stinks"

Apparantly the culprit has picked up a Subway Melt - including onions - how thoughtful - and brought it into work to munch. It has a stench of yesterdays picnic leftovers that have sweated overnight in a polythene bag.

Bring in a food hamper - go the whole hog

Some of us make time for breakfast before leaving the house for work. The thought of stopping off for a Subway Melt

Any more of this and I'll bring in a bowl of last nights kedgeree and rehaeat it for all to enjoy.

Give an inch - smell it a mile away

I blame the company. Not so long ago in an effort to cheer the troops it was announced that Friday would be Bacon Butty Friday and a good hour or two would be spent chasing the requests for hot pig meat nourishment.

Pasty Denied!

Of course this then provoked further discsussion. I obviously asked for a pasty but was told they had none (I suspect this not to be true and I was being penalised for "thinking outside the breakfast box"). The veggies began to order cheese rolls and I thought that it would be fair to ask for a chicken and avacardo salad baguette which I could hold over until lunch. This I was told, was not an option!

Fresh Fruit or a Smoothie?

There was a time when good quality fresh fruit was freely available for workers to satisfy their nibblings and help to prevent high blood pressure by going down the healthy five-a-day route. However the appearance of fruit is infrequent which is a shame - our research team has just compiled a how to choose a Smoothie Maker guide so we could make our own healthy fruit drinks.
