Re: Effort
So last weekkk, we had this Multicultural Lunch thingamajiggawhojiggawhat @ work. Here’s the premise: Everyone from our dept (+ company wide volunteers) brings in some authentic homecooked cultural cuisine, we set up a ridiculously affordable buffet lunch for the whole office and all proceeds raised go to charity. All good in the white collar hood, right? Well, almost. See, though everybody likes to pretend that it’s a happy-go-lucky family affair, on the downlow, this ishhht gets seriously competitive. People stay up late and workkk hard on their culinary arts, trying to cook up the hottest dish of the day. The food containers practically bleed with Iron Chef beads of championship rivalry sweat.
So on the day of the lunch, everyone’s hassling me about my cultural dish. I didnt make one obviously. But as always, I had plans. An hour before the event, my coworker Dustin and I jet to the nearest supermarket, get two packs of icecream sandwiches and bring it to the Multicultural Lunch buffet. We claim it’s an exotic French dessert called “Sandwich du Ice Creme de la Creme”
*Cue stares puffed with fuming hatred from everyone who toiled under burning midnight oil for their contributions*
P.S But srsly though, do you really want the approval of people who don’t like some icecream sandwiches Sandwich du Ice Creme de la Creme? Who are you ppl? Are you even ppl?
