Mid morning snackage
While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

The pot noodle is acceptable where ever suits you, but the accompanying activities are better performed in trap 2 unless you are alone in the office.Originally posted by doodab View PostIs it acceptable to have a pot noodle at my desk at quarter past ten or should I have it in the kitchen instead?Just saying like.
where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

I would say kitchen. The work sufaces are easier to wipe down and you run less risk of getting 'noodle juice' all over your keyboard.Originally posted by doodab View PostIs it acceptable to have a pot noodle at my desk at quarter past ten or should I have it in the kitchen instead?Comment

One of my favourite cheap student meals was pot noodle over a portion of chips, as student priorities are beer before food.
At 'work' I don't think it's acceptable to eat any smelly food in an open office.
Most memorable incident was someone microwaving tinned octopus (IIRC, whatever it was it was fish based and absolutely stank the office out) and a pregnant girl sat nearby complaining it was making her sick.
Next thing she's eating something equally disgusting because she had cravings. I had suspicions she microwaved the octopus and tried covering her tracks by complaining when others did. Women are devious.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

I did a project in Glasgow many years back where I'm convinced that one bloke in the tiny, poky little office deliberately chose the stinkiest food to microwave for lunch.Originally posted by PAH View PostAt 'work' I don't think it's acceptable to eat any smelly food in an open office.Comment

If Wacko Jacko hadn't been drugged up so much I think he'd have invented a personal oxygen suit which would have been ideal in these scenarios. Fate can be a bitch sometimes.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
