33. Bring Krispy Kreme doughnuts for my staff on a busy day

Done, and done. I left home a bit early today to make a pilgrimage down to Krispy Kreme, and picked up 3 dozen doughnuts for my staff today. 2 dozen glazed, one dozen assorted. Unfortunately, my life wanted to try to unfold not unlike a sitcom today.

See, there was really only one doughnut out of all 36 that I really wanted. I'm all about that custard-filled, chocolate-coated one. Mmmmm, good. So when I got to work and offered up the doughnuts to my staff, it was with the one caveat that that doughnut was mine; all others were fair game. To mark this doughnut out, and to symbolize its importance, I even cut off a piece of my soda's straw and dramatically stuck this straw piece in the doughnut, so clearly people could not "accidentally" eat my doughnut. My doughnut!

It became something of a running joke, with my assistant manager attempting to bribe people to eat the doughnut in question. Threats of "oops I accidentally licked the frosting of your doughnut!" were met with nothing but a steely glare. My doughnut!

Alas, however, I had a staff member that started after all this drama. And as though all this doughnut-related melodrama was nothing but dramatic foreshadowing, when I sent her off the floor to take 5 minutes and enjoy a complimentary doughnut, she of course ate my doughnut. Go fig.

All I wanted was my doughnut. Is that really so much to ask in life? Ah well, at least I got to cross something off the list. But really, couldn't I have been able to cross it off the list and have my doughnut? Sigh.
