Ok, well technically not force-fed but pretty close.

My boss called me into her office and offered me one of her lemon, cream cheese icing cupcakes that she had been showing off yesterday - they were left over from her managers meeting.

She told me not tell tell anyone that she gave it to me because she didn't have enough to share and we ate it in her office. How could I have refused? It was an opportunity to bond with my boss one on one.

Oh and the cupcake was gross. Pfft. What a waste of perfectly good calories, I could have had some bacon instead.

    You really should have held out for that bacon cupcake. But sometimes bonding with the boss is politic.

    I love that you took one for the boss. You kinda had to. Did you lie and tell her you loved it? Hope you don't get a dozen of them next week :laugh:

    awesome. You now know why they were "left over" from the managers' meeting. The managers can say, "No, thanks!" (with no career implosion.)

    "Bonding with the boss" or a tedious form of torture?

    HA! A similar thing happened to me... my boss came in with a huge box of pasteries.
    I said no thank you.... he pushed... I said I couldn't possibly... he scoffed at me and made funny of me being such a good girl... and when I finally said no, really no thank you... he broke off a quarter of a bear claw and put it in my hand.
    So pretty much I had to eat it.... at least my force feeding tasted good.

    And at least I logged the damn thing and made sure it didn't take me over, so I'm still a goodie goodie.
    Although I'm not sure your HAVE to log it if it didn't taste good. :wink:

    I am gluten intolerant so that pretty well takes care of any "will I eat this just so I am not rude?" quandaries.
    Id rather be rude than spend the rest of the day running to the loo feeling like a rats gnawing my insides.

    Not sure in the case of the boss scenario..if I was seriously sucking up maybe I would risk a few days feeling like crap. Chances would increase according to how high up the boss was and how desperate I was to get a new break in the company.


    Guess the equation would be -

    Chance of eating said cupcake - E

    Level of bosses position with higher numbers representing the top teirs - b

    Months I have felt trapped in my current position = t (converted to seconds for calculation)

    The actual look of the cupcake graded on a scale between 1 and 10 with 1 being "is that a pubic hair stuck to the frosting?' and 10 being "I want to eat no other food but this type of cupcake for the rest of my life") - y where 0<y<11

    How many days I predict I will be moaning Why? Why? and clutching my stomach. :(

    E = t (b X y)
    : (


    not sure what the units would be. "Despero seconds" (d s) ?

    Math is fun! :)

    Besides by the time you have worked out your equation you have lost interest in the original reason why.

    Just remember that the chance of eating the cupcake is directly proportional to the level your boss holds in the company and months you have felt trapped and inversely proportional to the number of predicted days you will have a tummy ache.
    Actually the equation would probably be more accurate like this -

    E = t (b X y)
    ( :sick: ) ^2


    Oh yeah edited to add :sick: cannot equal zero. Dividing by zero makes the world end.
