The dirty rat....

I work in a trailor that has a little kitchen and eating area. It's equiped with a full-sized refrigerator, microwave and sink. Fryes is just across the street so when I'm out of food, I naturally go get groceries and put them in the fridge. I also bring food from home and leave it in there too.

The first instance:
Pistachio pudding cake. I brought four slices to work, ate one for breakfast and left the remaining three slices in the fridge, nicely wrapped. I came to work the next day and one slice was gone. So I asked my co-worker how he liked the cake because I told him to try a slice the day before. Well he didn't eat it. Soooo, I asked around and no one had eaten it. There are only 10 people who work in the trailor with me.

The second offense:
Jello cupcakes. Delicious. Brought some from home for my two co-workers. They were gone the day I brought them, so the next day they came to pay me a visit from the neighboring trailor and as I cheerfully pull the ziplock bag from the fridge, there was only one cupcake. Grrr.

Three strikes, your out:
Tillamook Cheddar Cheese. Probably like the best cheese out there. I bought a 10-slice pack from Fryes to eat w/my Triscuit crackers. The next day, I go to get a slice and the package is not even closed. Half the cheese was dried out and hard. That really ticked me off. At this point I was pretty pissed.

Four times, shame on you:
Grilled Chicken. I brought a plain 'ol peice of grilled chicken to work for lunch. I never got around to eating it because my co-workers lunch plans always sounded more tasty. A week went by and I saw it in the fridge and thought, don't forget it, take it home and wash the container. Two weeks later I finally remembered but it wasn't until three weeks later I actually pulled it out to take it home. Only one bit was left. First of all, sick. Second of all, why not just eat the whole dang thing? I mean... for real!

Just stating the facts...
a) It isn't anyone who I work with because they would have told me. Everyone is really honest.
b) There are only two people who work as late as I do and they aren't the type to sneak food like that.
c) My co-worker put a case of Coke in the fridge then went on vacation for a week. When he came back only two cans were left.
d) Security and the cleaning people have keys to the trailor.

I know it has to be either the security people or the cleaning people. There is only one way to weed out a rat... rat poisen will only make them sick, right?

Ok, it has to be a man. A lady wouldn't leave the cheese open like that.

Hmmmmmm.. what if you baked up some 'special' brownies - no not with pot in them, unless you have it on hand - but the second favorite oldie, laxatives.

Or you could use the compassionate angle and bring loaves and fishes to share.
