It’s not quite throwing a chair at a wall, but I reckon the person in this invite I just got must be a bit “unusual”.

"Come along to this week’s lunch and learn session and join nutritional therapist, [redacted] who will help you avoid those festive binges, learn how to make good food choices and feel amazing.

[redacted] who is also an application engineer in our [redacted] team, will give you nine ways to avoid Christmas weight gain (and still have fun).

She says: “I’ll reveal the reasons why we’re prone to piling on the pounds over the festive season as well as sharing some top tips for avoiding weight gain – and still enjoy yourself”.

Everyone is welcome, but remember that these sessions are first come, first served so come early if you want a seat!

Hmm, I admire this in principal but would have concerns about the cereal:milk ratio if I were going to try it out. As such, I can’t participate in the poll.

Ah come on! Tell me you’ve never been curious about how we always seem to pile on the pounds over the festive season.

I don’t want to keep my cereal in the communal kitchen, it’s like the wild west in there! and I’d be needing to wash my bowl out every day anyway so, this is the most energy efficient cereal consumption procedure. I’ve explained this to the office and some of them even listened to the end of my presentation on it!

#26

Wait, you use the same unwashed bowl for your cereal every day?

#27

No!

I used to to this a lot and whenever anyone asked what I was doing, i’d joke that I am a cat.

Said that joke almost every day for about 6 months.

I made the joke that I had a cat under my desk! Have made this joke only 7 or 8 times though. Plenty of mileage left

I get up every 20 mins for a piss, shit, smoke, tea, coke or to pretend to take a call.

Pretty sure my subordinates are frustrated by this.

I worked in an office where all the chairs had a built-in hanger on the back.

That must have taken up a lot of room.

Your spine and lower back will thank you when you are older. I never sit at my desk for no more than 20 min. Zero back problems.
