After every event involving food, my firm sends out an office wide email saying telling people to come help themselves. Sometimes they even supply take home containers
One of my first jobs out of college, I had to arrange for lunches for a lot of meetings. It was a software firm, and I usually had to station myself at the table outside the conference room to protect the lunches from the vultures.
On the other hand, I always made sure to order an extra lunch or two, just to make sure there was enough food to go around. Ahem.
My desk at my old office was next to two conference rooms. People would start hovering around 1pm looking for leftovers even though everyone knows that leftovers go to the kitchen before they are available.
Connie has it right - vultures. I just made friends with the Admins who handled the lunches and they would let me know if/when there were leftovers.
At my old office, we were split between floors - 5,6 and 29. Those of us on 29 never got any conference room leftovers!
Dang, my lunch was good.
Sauteed TJ's frozen green beans (haricot vertes style) in olive oil and butter and minced garlic, adding some red bell pepper for contrasting color and texture, slivered almonds, diced ham, a little soy sauce for salty and a little balsamic vinegar for tang.
Mostly green stuff, salty tangy crunchy with protein! So good. I ate a whole panful. I make this pretty often without the ham, but sometimes the ham and the green beans want to be together.

They are more impressive than I thought they'd be....
That sounds dee-lish, Hec! I am on week two of fruits during the day and a small meal with veggies and protein at night. I have lost 7 lbs and I know most of that is water weight, but one or two are legitimate. I also just plain feel better, I have to say. Why can't I ever REMEMBER that when I start craving chocolate, durn it?

Chocolate is a shady lady with alluring wiles, and is made out of crack.
Dear Coworker, Why on earth are you just now getting that one thing ready to mail? We talked about wanting to send it on FRIDAY. The mailroom closes in 10 minutes. Not that it's impossible, but why not just get it ready early?
He makes me crazy. Only brings me things to review at 4:45.
