When lawyers get hungry

It was earlier at 1.44pm today when a colleague from my department stormed out of her room and started screaming:

"I AM SO BLOODY HUNGRY I HAVE CONFERENCE CALLS ALL MORNING AND I AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE BUT THEY HAVEN’T FUCKING CALLED AND I AM BLOODY HUNGRY I NEED TO TAKE MY PILLS BUT I NEED TO EAT FIRST SO CAN U HELP GET ME SOME FOOD AND I MEAN I NEED IT NOW BECAUSE I AM DYING!!!!!"

I am scared. She was clutching her stomach.

I quickly ask what food you want.

She threw me $10. “MCDONALDS!!”

I meekly ask what about from Mcdonalds

“A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERRRR!!!!” she shrieked.

I open my emergency snacks drawer, took out two mini snickers bar and threw it at her as I ran pass her to get out of the office. "TO TIDE YOU OVERRRR!" my shout trails.

As I waited in line at Mcdonalds, I realize just how rare it is that I ate here. The closest was when I tapao-ed a sandwich from McCafe next door. I was happily eating it at my desk when the Boss came by, saw the M logo and exclaimed, “OMG! WHY ARE YOU EATING JUNK!?” I replied it’s not junk because it’s a bona fide sandwich from McCafe, not Mcdonald. She replied, “WHY ARE YOU EATING FOOD MADE AND MARKETED BY A JUNK FOOD COMPANY?”

(Because I don’t love myself, and you don’t pay me enough???)

Anyhoo, I am impressed by Mcdonald’s new look and new menu. It is kinda swanky now. I even got myself a spicy chicken wrap because it is something new… and also because I realize that I too haven’t had lunch. I had to eat it very quickly though, in case I am caught with food made by junk food people…

I work with scary folks.
