There is a theory that somewhere in the ductwork above the tech bench there is a strange fungal growth, or a patch of weird spores. When the vent system kicks on, these spores are blown down onto the working techs, making them very, very hungry >_<.

>I woke up this morning, had a nice cup of soup on the way to work (I'm not a morning eater usually)

>I get to work, and become hungry. I consume a whole bag of chex mix, a hefty amount of M&M's (peanut), and a bottle of Vanilla Pepsi.

>Coworkers arrive with more food. I eat some cake stuff, a bunch of taffy, some Whoppers candy. I have someone that's going to lunch pick me up some Chik-fil-A, and eat that with another bottle of Pepsi.

>I leave work at like 3pm. On the way home, I contemplate stopping through BK for some fries, but I resist. I go home and eat the last of the beef soup, 2 boxes of Micro-pasta, and some chips.

>Play some EQ, get hungry again (8pm) eat half a bag of beef jerky, 2 bowls of cereal, 3 boxes of raisins, half a box of Twizzlers....and now it's midnight and I'm still kinda hungry. I could go for some Chinese takeout right about now.

This is not a rare occurrence. This happens like every day to me. So basically, I've narrowed it down to 2 possibilities.
1) Space Spores at the tech bench are similar to weed, making anyone who inhales them a bottomless pit of all things edible. This could very well be the case, because the other techs frequently experience munchies, and there is ALWAYS food at the bench during a workday.

2) I have a very large and hungry tapeworm. Mr. O says that's unlikely because I indulge in the wonders of tapeworm-killing alcohol. However, I'm convinced that if it's not the spores, I'm host to an Alcoholic parasite named Larry, who is feasting like it's nobody's business.


Go Larry, go.
