We had our office luncheon on Friday and it was just as I knew it would be. The office supplied the meat and all the employees had to bring in assorted side dishes. There was so much food it was ridiculous. We were to told to bring in a dish that feed 10 people. There are about 75 peopel in the office so you do the math. how much food did we have? Food for an army! Way too much for the office.
Well it began right after the meal as far as the food hording. Their are 2 main culprits who do this. As they shall remain nameless, I'll describe by color. (As you know...I am an oreo so is is all about color) The worst of the two is Blackberry. She is just as her name. A dark elderly woman, petite and one who has been with the company for 29 years. She makes over 75k per year. Blackberry is known for bringing her baggies and zip locks from home and waiting until the office is deserted. She will then go to the kitchen with her purse and briefcase and fill up those baggies with food and stuff them in her purse and briefcase.
Makes me sick just to think about it! Aint' she got no home training? Ain't she got no pride? Hell no. She don't care!
The other culprit is...let's call her Redbone. That is her color...a lite skinned middle aged woman, wavy hair...you know... what used to be called mulatto in earlier times. She is know for bringing in Walmart bags and going into the kitchen before ...BEFORE!!!!!..any office function and loading up for later. She will wrap up all sorts of meat and cheese in that walmart bag and then hide it in the vegetable crisper until later....or in her words, "putting up a plate for later." A plate would be one thing but she loads up pounds of meat. Pounds! She has been with the company for 15 years and makes over 50k per year. No pride at all. Not after the function...BEFORE the function begins. You would think that she had work to do at her desk when the function was goin on but she does not. She is eating with everyone else and it is not the food she has horded away and hidden.
And of course all these women are in a cliche together. I was sitting at a table and they came to sit near me. Surprising as I am not a member of the group. Black berry has jokingly told me that I am not quite black enough to be in their social circle. One of the other ladies they socialize with made greens and when I got to the buffet line to that dish, it was all gone. That herd of black women are always the first in line. Well all of a sudden someone produced a plastic tupperware dish of greens. They had scooped all the greens out of the pot on the buffet line and put it in a plastic dish. They passed the dish around to all at the table but me. I was skipped right over. They all had greens and noone else did. How damned rude was that? If you are going to pass something around the entire table include everyone. I was sitting there first. But, it was par for the course and nothing that was a real surprise. I just announced...."well at least we know where the greens went."
I ate and left. Later in the mid afternoon alot of us went back for dessert. We could not eat it at the main lunch. There was just too much to eat. There was blackberry and redbone taking whole pies and wrapping them in walmart bags to take home. DAMn! What is wrong with those women? They had wrapped up one apple and 2 sweet potatoe pies. I know that when the office closed, they stayed late. I left them there. The office closes at 5, I left at 6 and they were still there waiting for eveyone to clear out to that they can go pack up the turkey and ham and take it home.
They did a very good job of clearing out the food because the next day there wre just about turkey scraps left. The office had lunch again if you wanted left overs but my desk mate and I got the scraps of turkey that was left. Those vultures had stripped the refrigerators clean of meat. I went hunting and saw all sort of walmart bags hidden in the vegetable crispers. I peaked and it was all the turkey wrapped up and hidden away.
Why these well to do women are acting like bag ladies is beyond me. They make good money and have been doing so for years. They live in what are really mansions and drive cars like the Infinity and the Escalades. They are dripping in money. Unlike some others....me. I have only been with the company a few years. God help me from every becoming lilke them. The day I walk in there with a baggy in my purse is the day I would need to be carted off to the funny farm.
Those greedy black women are getting on my last nerve. Now I know that there may be many white people who fill up at a buffet, but the degree to which these women do it is appalling and embarassing! All the white people in our office talk about them like DAWGS!
