So, I got the "You haven't blogged in a while" email, marking 10 days since I last blogged on here. Which is surprising, because (except for a brief hiatus this past December/January, when my Grab attendance was spotty at best) I've been pretty faithful at keeping my blog up to date. I even noticed that last week was abuzz with new BIDs, some of which I might even get to, this week.

But first, a funny little anecdote that I actually blogged about on Myspace, regarding lunch thieves running rampant here at work. Here's the brief synopsis:

I keep a Banquet frozen dinner or two in the freezer of my office's kitchen, just for emergencies. It had been sitting there for a few months when, one day, I found myself pressed for time and with no quick options for lunch. Perfect day to break out the TV dinner. Except, when I opened up the freezer, it wasn't there. I thought maybe it was just a false memory, but several weeks later, it happened AGAIN.

Apparently I wasn't the only one who had their food stolen, because several weeks later I spotted a sign on the freezer door that read "Please replace the Smart Ones lunch you borrowed". (Smart Ones is just another brand of frozen dinner, in case you were wondering). Hehehe-- "borrowed", now there's the euphemism of the year! The same woman who put up that sign now encloses her TV dinners inside a plastic bag marked VERY clearly with her name.

Anyway, I blogged about these experiences on Myspace and received a handful of, let us say-- creative revenge ideas.

But luckily I haven't had to implement any of them (and some were downright evil!), as I haven't had trouble with food being stolen, ever since then.

Last week, Scot sent me a link to this article:

Hehe, glad to know our office isn't the only one plagued with people who have the nerve to take advantage like that. At least with the writers to that "Dear Abby" column, the victims KNEW the identity of the food pilferer. Me? The only way for me to catch our thieves in action is to implement some of the creative ideas my friends have suggested.

And if you're wondering what those creative ideas were... well, you'll just have to search through my Myspace blog archives from December and January ;-)
