Now that tha...Wow gotta say anonymous is BIG JERK!<br /><br />Now that that's said, you have a few choices. 1 Suck it up and do it (and I would milk the amount of time for all it's worth).<br />2 Do it but don't worry about the picky eaters, ie pick up any fruit if it's not right then say "sorry I'm just not good at picking out the right food, why don't you come with and show me how."<br />3 Go to you boss and sit down and tell them about how you feel like your not doing your best for them by spending so much time on food.<br />4 Go to HR and let them know that your just out of treatment for an ED and picking up food just doesn't work for you. Or maybe ask your T what they think you should say.<br /><br />Me I would suck it cause I'm a big old doormat.

Apparently there is LITTLE to NOTHING in life that is satisfying to you, why is that? What is it that you are looking for?

(p.s., i've started bringing my own lunch.)<br /><br />sorry to keep venting. i'm blue today. <br /><br />kris; thank you! re-reading this reminded me that i do need a job. i'm total errand girl today and getting cranky. i keep wanting to drive past the supermarket and just keep driving. thanks for the reminder!!!!I Hate to Weighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241064340434705588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-62840337840711140082011-05-11T20:47:55.182-07:002011-05-11T20:47:55.182-07:00I was going to suggest something similar -- just b...I was going to suggest something similar -- just buy everything on Monday, even if it means going to the grocery store and having a lot of bags. Then, my guess, is that everyone will fight amongst themselves over whether or not the ham was theirs or someone else's and whether or not they can trade a gherkin for a sweet pickle, lol.<br /><br />That is pretty crazy though :) Way to go putting up with that everyday!!

It is bad enough making good food choices for my family let alone my work collegues. <br /><br />Life is easier now we order it in online. Can you just do a Monday morning online order for all of the provisions and the food last for the week? People can make their own thing. I mean, surely there is a fridge there to store it in. Who did it before you? <br /><br />Can you say to the boss "can we take turns doing this lunch thing?" I know you are getting paid to be a lunch monitor but I think I would die of utter cranky boredom if I had to sort lunches for everyone. <br /><br />But I bet you are so lovely and nice to them about it (I know I would be the same) and nobody knows it kind of shits you. Hmmmm. <br /><br />Hey! Here is an idea....how about people bring their lunch into work! Think of the savings. <br /><br />Good luck!lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-79264563905269368622011-05-11T17:22:52.879-07:002011-05-11T17:22:52.879-07:00hmm, that would be very annoying.

Maybe it's sort of a hazing or a rite of passage, since you are new there.<br /><br />I would suggest chucking a few powerbars at them and backing away.....slowly......lisalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506556513672749033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-35275519872417199342011-05-11T15:13:04.247-07:002011-05-11T15:13:04.247-07:00I wish I knew you better to advice...
