Do you bake something and take it to work from time to time? Do others in your building do it as well?
I'm the baker in our department and I enjoy making cookies, coffee cakes, pastries and the like for my co-workers. They seem to really appreciate it and they know that they can ask me to make something for work and I'll always bring whatever they want. I don't often buy something (donuts, for example), but I always make something. Yesterday morning, one of my co-workers came into my office and said, "You know, your apple cake would taste wonderful right now! Hint, Hint. Not that you have to make one!" So last night, I threw together a coffee cake and brought it into this morning. He's on his second piece of cake.
One of my co-workers is a donut hound, so he brings a half-dozen in a few times a month for us...there are five of us in the dept, so it works. Sometimes our boss will spring for some donuts, too. And I do sometimes. I hate to go to DD (Dunkin' Donuts), largely because of the insane traffic jams there in the morning, but I'll buy if somebody else flies. My other co-worker does nothing like this, nor does our receptionist. I don't mind, I just do it because I like to treat once in a while.
Sometimes, somebody in the building will bring a cake in and set it out in the kitchen cafe for anybody who wants a slice. I don't do that, I usually just bring in enough for our dept and that's it and we keep it in our main office. (To be honest, I'm scared to death that somebody might find a cat hair in something and I'd never hear the end of it! It's never happened and I'm so careful when I'm baking. But it would only take one time.) There's usually something in the cafe for people to munch on. Makes it bit difficult trying to lose weight, although, most of the time, I can stay away from the stuff. Most of the time. With me, eating something depends on who made it, too.
Do you like to treat your co-workers from time to time? Do you eat cake or cookies that a co-worker has brought into work?
I'm just curious.
