The Mustard Menace

You're probably asking yourself, 'Why do we need another condiment themed super hero?'
I'm no hero.

I believe you have my stapler!

Ever feel like your life is a movie? As if when you're going about your every day activities there is an audience somewhere watching you through dramatic angles, cutting out the boring parts of your day and listening as non-diegetic music accents your every move.

This morning the Transaction Processing group held their monthly team breakfast. The EDI team was hosting for September and we did a fantastic job. My boss brought breakfast casserole (crescent rolls topped with scrambled eggs, sausage and cheese then baked). Just like Milton, I was denied a piece of this deliciuos nosh. I was busy cooking french toast and pancakes on the griddles that we brought. That's right, we were cooking up fresh hotcakes for our colleagues in a cubicle.

The EDI team is full of overacheavers, we didn't just stop at fresh breakfast for everyone. Two days ago we made everyone fill out a survey with silly questions like "How do you feel about Pluto being demoted?" or "Do you have a nickname?" We compiled the answers and decorated the serving area with mini-posters containing fun facts about all of our coworkers. The posters were great at spurring conversation among people and really gave the whole event a kind of tackiness that is intangable, but somehow required in my life movie.

Today my audience was treated to crowd shots of dorky dorky people cracking jokes about pluto (you know mickey's friend... awww shucks) and close ups of people that don't get enough exercise eating plate after plate of pancakes and cheesy eggs. I like to think that over it all they were jamming out to the Geto Boys.
