Chapter: Comic
There were good things and bad things about the location of my desk at my last office job. One of the bad things was it was near a hallway intersection. People tended to naturally congregate there and have loud conversations that were completely irrelevant to the fonts I was trying to choose. One of the best things was that I was facing the goodie table. Whenever the magic free food fairy dropped off a load of extra cookies left over from an executive meeting I was one of the first to know about them.

I work at a small art gallery, and currently am the only empolyee. I have to have the annoying conversations by myself, and provide my own goodies that I have to race to be the first one there all alone.
…I was expecting a joke about drinking coffee and eating a doughnut at the (exact) same time…
Does anyone else find it a bit odd that they always fuel high level meetings with sugar coated knock-out drops?
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
You also don’t want to be the early worm. Too many birds out there at that time.
