Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML

Today, a coworker left a chocolate cake on the "free food" table in the office. I had a slice. She's just called to ask if she left her grandmother's birthday cake at work. She made it from scratch. Now I'm baking a new cake in the office kitchen. FML

Today, my boss brought us some small cakes from a recent trip to China. I opened mine and noticed a little foil packet wrapped with the cake, so I thought it was a powdered topping. I had a couple of bites before my coworker told me it was actually a desiccant to keep the cakes fresh. FML

Today, I saw my boss heading my way at work. He has a "no food in the office" policy, so I quickly scarfed down my Pop-Tart. I ended up choking on it so hard that I threw up. FML

Today, I worked from 8 to 7 without a break and I'm still not done with my assignment. Meanwhile, my coworker crafted a piece of paper looking like a watermelon slice and posted a picture of herself seemingly taking a bite out of it. FML

Maybe it was one of those Chinese rabbit lollies that you could eat the outside paper of. I had totally forgotten about them until now, thanks for reminding.

And why would frosting just be lying on her desk in the first place?

Today, I ate some leftover frosting off my desk from a cupcake I had been eating. One of my employees saw and thought it was a small piece of paper. Now she thinks I'm crazy. FML P.S. Wait no, I might just fire her stupid ass. :P

Some people eat paper trying to loose weight. Maybe it's that.
