re: #207 Eclectic Cyborg

Joking aside, ask anyone who has ever worked at a hotel with a free continental breakfast. They’ll have stories, I guarantee it.

People eat. Some people eat a lot.

We have catered lunches on Thursdays at my office, catered breakfast Mondays and Fridays. But we also do appetizers and wine and beer when we have VIPs in the office. Last week, after the first half hour, and the snacks were made available to the whole office, the engineers descended on the buffet en masse. I was talking to a Sheriff Investigator from Indiana who looked at one of our guys loading a plate with meat, cheese, crackers, etc. and said to me, “Your people aren’t shy about the food, are they?” I said, “Nope, they’re like locusts when it comes to food.” Actually, I was a little embarrassed by the guy he was talking about because he’s the guy who leads different team meetings and has near zero social skills.
