Alright.... I know to expect it during the actual holidays but really...it's October! There are 2 huge Christmas themed tins of this chocolate covered caramel popcorn that someone gave us as thank you for some theatre tickets.
Alright first off.... there are 10 people in this office....there is no need for 2 tins of anything! Second of all...now we have all had a taste of it....even me...nothing overboard but it's very delicious....and we aren't even through half of one tin. I was getting my salad and heating up my soup for lunch and made an off hand comment that the goods were 'awful and way to tempting' to which another girl responded 'I agree, I can't wait until it's gone' and I have a feeling that others feel the same way.
Am i wrong in my thinking that at this point....where this has been there since last Friday....that if people want some come and take it...and it's time to get rid of the rest? What is so wrong with throwing it out? If we are all complaining about the 'awful temptation' why keep it around? I'd get rid of it but it wasn't given to me so I'm not sure I have the right.
Where does this mentality come from? 'I can't wait until it's gone' translates into 'We must eat it all and then it will be gone' as opposed to 'we've had our taste lets just get rid of it if we want it gone'
Ahh, I can feel the office full of baked goods holidays right around the corner. I'm trying to pile on the willpower now.
