Today was so frustrating. Yesterday I went grocery shopping for the first time in 3 months and bought 10 canned soups, which should last me about 3 more months. I brought the soups to work (I use my cubicle shelves as my pantry) and really didn’t want to already eat one today, but by 11:45am I was so starving that I just had to eat my chicken creamed corn soup.
Literally 3 minutes after I finished my tupperware-heated chicken creamed corn soup, I get an IM from coworker A: “FOOD IN MEETING ROOM 4.”
GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!! I immediately ran over to meeting room 4 while hitting myself in the head going WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY and angrily shoved two sandwiches, pasta, caesar salad, and dessert onto my plate while I was still kicking myself over the fact that had I been patient for just a few more minutes, I would have not had to go into my own private stash of food for lunch.
THEN!!!!!!!! It got worse!!! And by worse I mean better. At a presentation just a few minutes after that, there were boxes and boxes of pizza!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!??!?!??! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY and I again angrily took three slices of pizza still furiously annoyed at myself for having been impatient and gone into my own food stash when there was an abundance of free food at the office today.
Ultimately, I ate the pizza for today’s lunch and dinner, and saved the plate of sandwiches, pasta, caesar salad, and dessert for tomorrow. I will not make the same mistake again tomorrow.
