Andi, is this the same Troublesome Food Cow-worker you've had problems with before?
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

I've complained about the guy in Australia who keeps using my email address to sign up for TripAdvisor and used car websites. Now I have a someone who has created a Walmart baby registry with my email address. This lady is lucky she did this to an ethical person, because there are so many inappropriate things like guns and vibrators and incontinence products that I could add to that baby registry.

HAH. Must be so tempting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I really don't see what's inappropriate about a vibrator.

They must do baby gift registries very differently in New York.

Strix, that's a great house (and deck)! And congrats on the raise.
Susan, good news on the face!
Andi, I know your pain. My dad was put on a restricted calorie diet for his BP and diabetes, and was prepared to follow it without complaint. My mom, who did all the cooking, found the suggested recipes just too unappetizing, and so continued to cook the recommended green beans, but with potatoes and fatback. She was a dessert fiend, and would bake relentlessly, and serve him devil's food cake and strawberry pie--"A little bit won't hurt him."
There was never a doctor nor a dietician born that she didn't know better than. And there was only so much I could do. She'd willingly engage in the argument, eagerly listen to my reasoning for following the recommended diet--she looked on it as an entertaining performance. And then she'd do what she wanted, anyway. Short of feeding Dad myself, and have her give him dessert anyway, there wasn't anything I could do.
I hope you can get the rest of the staff on board with you on this. And prevent the "But it tastes like crap without salt and fat and more sugar!" person from handling meal prep or shopping. Good luck.
Lee and -t--so exciting!

I've never had a doctor try to assign me a diet--well, OK, once, 15 years ago, I laughed at him. I get the straight look, the "you know this will get better if you lose weight, right?" statement, then we move on. I'm an educated adult, I'll take the fault.
