I'd waste away without leftover buffet

..from meetings.

I always get really hungry in the afternoon. Thankfully there's been several meetings going on this week, that means I get to eat all that stuff you never see anywhere else except in a meeting buffet- those deep-fried chillies with cheese in, mini pancake rolls, mini samosas which don't taste like samosas, crispy-coated mozzarella sticks.

If I get lucky they'll have left some mini danish pastries, or there'll be some bread rolls, cheese and olives. If I'm unlucky there'll be a plate of wilted salad mixed with soggy crisps and the odd curly sandwich. Invariably prawn.

We look forward to those

Last month the honcho's and VIP's had to interrupt their lunch to go and see something important that was only happening at that precise time.

They got back and their buffet had been finished off in their absence .

We only seemed to get sandwiches with piles of butter on them (yuck) I always find office food to be really rich and fatty so I am probably one who would leave the stuff.

There is a fine tradition of coughing and/or sneezing over any food left over when exiting a meeting.

I've been on a series of courses at a Holiday Inn Express. Must big up the tuna and sweetcorn sarnies (the courses are very boring though).

 

[Globalti]

Here they go out and buy M&S sandwiches, so we office scum look forward to customer visits and board meetings.

This used to happen at school.

No

-can I have it?

Yes

-(starts to eat whatever it is)

I huffed on that.

Touch any those prawns that have been left out and you will waste away.
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

they don't get any decent sandwiches here, only those quartered ones with too much wet salad and stuff in. what can't they make decent tucker with just nice meat and cheese for example.

why do they always have to poof it up with garnish and lettuce all the time? grrr.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

that salad cream's a bit saltier than normal...

 

[Fnaar]

The stuff we get is generally fat-laden factory-prepared cr@p with a nod to 'ethnicity' (i.e. some iffy samosas). However, I generally sneak off after meetings with a plate of biscuits and a carton of orange juice )

It's norovirus season soon.

Ah leftover buffet , or Code 5 as we used to call it.

The thing I miss most about work.

Well , after the money of course , and the bike ride to and from it.

We didn't have any today. Luckily someone brought in wedding cake.
