I overslept today, no I mean really overslept. I missed breakfast and rushed around (which is not so wise when you have a broken toe) the Condo trying to get ready. I stuffed my lunch in a bag, grabbed my keyes and ran out the door. I was starving. Usually I will have either Raisin Bran or Grape Nuts, a hard boiled egg and even on occasion Oatmeal. No time for any of that today. Yea ok so I passed two McDonalds and a Dunkin Donuts on the way in. No thanks to either, plus I'm late at this point.
I arrive at work, punch in (non-Salaried employee here) and then swing by the Operator to pour myself a cup of Coffee, my stomach is grumbling at this point. As I turn the corner, I catch a glimpse of the most breathtaking cheesecake I have ever seen sitting right there next to the Coffee maker, a welcoming knife lay by it's side. It had the most intricate top made of apples, brown sugar, crumbs & cinnamon, with streaks of caramel drawn carefully across at points.


A co-worker was busy cutting himself a slice from this majestic piece of culinary artwork. The inside revealed a thick graham cracker under crust, obviously crushed by hand. I could not believe my luck today and, brushing him (the co-worker) aside I grabbed the knife and portioned myself a huge slice, which I placed on a paper towel (no plates provided) and limped back into the MIS department where my cubicle awaited.


Sitting down, I turned on my PC, retrieved a plastic fork from my desk and carved out a large chunk. I was practically salivating in anticipation. Into my mouth it went, and then my half closed eyes shot wide open...."It can't be" I thought to myself, swallowing slowly I took another bit from the slice and once again placed it in my mouth. "Yea, I thought so, Fucking "Mothball Maryanne". I snatched a piece of paper towel, quietly wrapped up the remainder of the cake and deposited them both into the basket beside me.
