<p>I woke up to a great day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got on the scale down 1.5 pounds.  My legs and hurt hammy weren't sore from yesterday's 12-miler.  And even though I despise my job, I've paid to have my resume rewritten and I've seen the first draft and it makes me look all kinds of bad arse.  I'm looking for a new job and hope to be in a new position by the new year.  Yuppers, all is coming up multi-colored gerbera daisies in my world.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then I get to work, and my usually affable boss is in a sour mood and snaps at me (he MUST be crazy snappin' at a sistah like that).  Then he asks me for a couple of items that I'd told him on Friday that I hadn't finished and I'd complete first thing today, what, does this outfit I have on shout THE AMAZING KRESKIN to you?  I just walked in, what makes you think I'm'ah have them done?  You think I'm one of them black folk from the bayou that has magical juju and I can just make crap up????...why do I even try to communicate with the man.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I work like a dog all morning, into the afternoon and then around 1:50 I decide to take a break for lunch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Usually, I eat my lunch at my desk because I just don't have the time to sachet off and enjoy a meal by myself.  But today, I wanted to get away from the snarkyness that is my grumpy boss, so I heated up my lunch and sat in the breakroom and ate it.  I decided to eat later on purpose - because I knew the breakroom would be empty and I didn't want to be bothered or forced into some stupid small talk. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The best laid plans...ya know, blah, blah, blah, blah.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I'm sitting quietly in the breakroom reading about the Cowperson's collasal (sp?) loss and giggling at Jerry Jones' misfortune, and in walks a person who looks at my lunch and makes an ugly face and asks what I'm eating.  This happens four times in the 20 minutes I'm in there.  And they don't just grimace, they put their face close to it, then they step back and stare at it.  REALLLY????? </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>IT'S CALLED HEALTHY CLEAN EATING YOU FAT F**KS!!! </strong></span> It was funny when I first started working here, but gimme a break, I've been here for 18 months, and you really feel the need to make fun of my food EVERYTIME you see me eating???  It's old, give it a break!  Just because my food is colorful and isn't brown and it doesn't come in a bag with grease spots on it, does not give you the right to treat me like a freak at the freakshow.  Maybe if you ate like me, you'd be less of a FAT F**K!!!  Just sayin'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>that's it...I'm done, I feel cleansed....</p>

<p>Not today I don't love my boss, he can kiss the cellulite that entombs my gluteus maximus today!!!  And it's not really my boss that I dislike, it's my position that I dislike, I'm not challenged, my skills aren't being used, I'm not really excited to get out of bed in the morning.</p>

Yes.  My sleepless nights are over.</p>

<p>Novia - Are you familiar w/ Michael Pollan's book "Food Rules"?  My cow-orkers are tired of me spouting the "rules" to them.  Pollan refers to most processed foods as "edible, food-like substitutes".  It cracks me up.  One of Pollan's rules is something like "Food is not anything that's passed to you through your car window."  Your comment about the grease-spotted bag made me think of that.  My favorite Pollan rule is "Don't eat cereal that turns your milk a different color."  Anywaze ... Good luck with the job search. </p>

<p>This used to happen to me all the time.  With two particular guys especially.  I mean, what the hell?  One guy would always get close, and look at it.  And make a comment.  The other guy would look at it, and then launch into a story about how he didn't like what I was eating....a) I hate salad bars...I always get scared that the food there has been sitting around too long....b) I don't eat at that buffet anymore because it made me sick...c) some other nonsense...that type of thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>People need to mind their own damn business.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thankfully, neither of them work here anymore.<br>

<p>Yay! I seldom get online these days and what a treat this Novia thread/rant is for me!!!! You made my evening, dear love!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>God, I do NOT miss the food police in an office setting. The look, the grimaces, the condescending comments, and oh, the few that want some to "just taste". Got any of those? They want some of the 250 calories one has carefully crafted into a healthy meal for ONE!  Cannibals would die off completely if they subsisted on a diet of most of the fat-assed, disease-infested, fast food loving humans that have taken over this country.</p>
