Doing Your Friends, Employees and Fat A Favor

My boss (the lab manager) thinks he is doing the employees a favor by bringing in boxes of treats, donuts, apple fritters, cookies and so on several times a month. He is such a great man and leader. I think many of us are getting tired of the same old thing. Yes, they are fresh and amazing, just out of the oven at his favorite bakery; but so full of sugar, sugar and more sugar.

My boss plopped these on my desk and said, “Have some.” Just a little thing, but makes those cravings in my tum. It doesn’t top the list of my best goodie or yum. So I’ll skip this treat, and not bite when he brings the chum.

He brings in three large boxes of a variety of fritters often. I quit having a whole fritter and just cut a small piece off when I go in the lunchroom. The problem with that is all those little pieces add up to one giant one. At first, i didn't like them. After trying some, I would get a sugar high, but then I began to like them. Now, I just have to stay as far away from them as I can.

Please dear Boss, How about some apples, oranges or bananas. I and many of us would love them. You are thin, but many of us are fighting a battle that is gargantuan in size.
