Revenge of the Waffle
05-Jun-07
To the uninitiated, the waffle is simply a nice breakfast treat. They come in many flavours (buttermilk, blueberry, cinnamon, you name it), and, add a bit o’ syrup, maybe some butter, and you’ve started your day with a warm and delicious meal.
But there is a darker side to the waffle. Perhaps you don’t work alone. Perhaps you don’t lock your computer. Perhaps on occasion the rest of your office gets an email from you that looks suspiciously like something you wouldn’t say. Perhaps something along the lines of:
Please come…
… and critique my wardrobe. Your input, thoughts and perspective are extremely important as I try to become a better person. Oh yes. And I’m also buying lunch today.
Now, you may be buying lunch for your office. Which might gain you popularity points (assuming, of course, you’re not being obscenely cheap and buying…say…leftovers). But, in the end, your irresponsibility has just cost your co-workers precious time and brain-power, as they scratch their heads and wonder if you really need a wardrobe critique (yes, you probably do, but that’s really beside the point).
Moral of the story: lock your computer when you walk away from it. Please.
Got an example of a waffle worth sharing? Throw it in the comments…
