I'm seriously considering these ideas, she is on her SECOND bag of popcorn since she got here 40 minutes ago.

I mean, its 8:30 in the morning ffs. Who eats two bags of popcorn for breakfast???
last night I was at the movie theatre eating popcorn and I thought of this thread and thought of someone consuming that much popcorn in a day and it ruined the popcorn for me. so now i have a vested interest in this.
like you should buy all the popcorn in a 30 mile radius and destroy it

Find a well throw her in it then bury her in popcorn.Only flaw is she may eat her way out and tell police or HR on you.

this last two weeks is just killing me, it was so peaceful before.
if I review your work (which is one of my responsibilities) and find you made a significant mistake on something that impacts another team, and I tell you that day to fix it immediately, and you let four business days pass without giving me any update, and when I ask you what's up, you say "oh sorry I've been super busy, I'll do it today", and then you don't do it...that's the point I stop talking to you and start talking to your manager.
Unreal.

Jeez, sounds like you need to start throwing furniture. People obv aren't taking you seriously.

this has been a truly abnormal month. I usually don't have this many issues at the same time. This person though would be wise to do the right thing as this gets documented permanently, so there's no chance of anybody 'forgetting'.

That very scene has passed through my head more than a few times over the last month.

I mean, seriously. That's too much popcorn. Your only hope is that she contracts diverticulitis.
― Regular Stormy (Jenny), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Does she eat anything else? Are these the 100 calorie light popcorn bags? Maybe she has an eating disorder.
― Regular Stormy (Jenny), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link
oh she definitely has an eating disorder
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I've never seen her eat anything else at the office, she never leaves for lunch. Just the popcorn.

― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Maybe she'll get scurvy, lose teeth, and be unable to chew anymore popcorn.
― Regular Stormy (Jenny), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link
you should try to wean her onto more appropriate corn-based meals as a way to convert her to real food. like make her grits for breakfast, for example.

i've given up on having a good day this month. every day in the past two weeks has begun with something annoying or infuriating. the only saving grace has been the texts my new ladyfriend has sent each morning wishing me a good day, otherwise I'd flip out.
― melody-hating aggr0 nerd (San Te), Thursday, 14 October 2010 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link
course once I leave work everything's fine!
Does that mean you bring a bad energy and tension level to the workplace that makes things flip out?
― Headlock Ellis (WmC), Thursday, 14 October 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
four years ago, yea that would have been true. but generally once I get home and recharge I forget the events of the day, and I've arrived here in pretty high spirits 4-5 days in a row only to have it dashed by things that have generally occurred in the first half hour.
It won't last forever, everything is cyclical, it's jsut frustrating.
― melody-hating aggr0 nerd (San Te), Thursday, 14 October 2010 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Okay, I am putting way more energy into thinking and posting about this than I should, but its getting too incredulous to not document. She left the office at about 12:15 today and I was thinking, "wow, she is actually going out to get lunch... good for her". That is until she came back with six huge boxes of individual microwave popcorn packets. Maybe she is just super cheap?

At this point I would just say to her "you are a walking science experiment to me. Do you take a multivitamin? Is this a diet or just OCD behavior? Tell me about your life" and hope that the attention rattles her enough to quit eating that shit at work.
I thought about having some popcorn the other night, thought about this thread and had some ice cream instead.

ain't gonna lie, went to microwave my food at lunch and saw a chick with just a bag of popcorn (which is forbidden to be popped on this floor) and I thought maybe yer employee got fired and got a job here....

i am feeling much better from earlier. management had my back on something when I needed them to and it really turned the day around

Not sure what kind it was, wasn't close enough to determine that. It did not have any distinct smell, that I can tell you.

PS this may never happen so be prepared to go mental.
stick with chiptunes. there is an infinite variety of popcorn chiptunes for some reason.

Guys she ate J1mmy J0hn's yesterday. And zero bags of popcorn that I saw. Breakthrough? Temporary diversion? Stay tuned.

why do some people insist on having extremely personal conversations at their desk, and not the courtesy phones in private areas...and while they're doing so, not even make an attempt to do so quietly or soften their voice.
it's distracting, it's uncomfortable, it's rude, and yet my boss, when I mentioned it to him, basically said that if it were him he'd just ignore it and that he didn't think it was a big deal.
well, when I hear someone either sobbing, yelling, or telling someone to "go to Hell and burn", it tends to draw my attention away from what I'm doing!
