Oh, It’s Stinky

The men’s bathroom really stinks here at work. It wasn’t always that way, which makes me think it’s one of the new hires that have come on within the past 3 or 4 months. It literally curls my nose hairs when I open the bathroom door and it’s embarrassing to be in there when someone else comes in, and it makes me want to say, “It wasn’t me!” And at the same time it makes me want to walk into the bathroom and say, “Whoa, is that you?”

I was walking to the other side of the office today with the intention of troubleshooting a few software errors with GB and EL, but when I passed by the president’s (WN’s), office I saw a shiny, metallic blue wrapper peeking out from a bowl on his desk. I quickly glanced to the right and then to the left–nobody was watching. A few steps later my head, like a parrot, was cocked over a bowl of expensive, gourmet chocolate truffles; they were all looking at me, begging me to eat one. I picked one up and rolled it around in my hands; my mind quickly flickered to an image of Gollum admiring his birthday ring and whispering, “My precious.” Even the wrapper’s metallic crinkle turned the corners of my lips up into a tight smile.

I tucked the presidential truffle tightly in my left palm and briskly trekked back to my desk, forgetting my original purpose. There I sat staring at my precious. Delighted with my treasure, I unwrapped it slowly, giddy with anticipation. Milk chocolate laced with a dark chocolate doily-like pattern, my favorite. One bite. Two bites. Three bites, and it was gone.

And now I have heart burn and a sore throat from eating chocolate too early in the morning. Stupid, delicious truffle.
