they'll eat anything

we had a party for my aunt who's going into to start chemo slash radiation this week (it will give her, max two years). it's her birthday this week too, so my mother wanted her to be able to have cake, see friends, etc before everything gets going (i don't know how long it takes for you to start feeling like shit with all of that). anywho, at the end we had a sizable chunk of cake left. i was somehow assigned to "take it to work" with me. i was like so not into having to cart a big chunk of cake in my car, contaminating it with gluten-y bleckness. that, however, brings me to the point, the people at the emergency animal (in case you weren't keeping up) clinic will eat anything!



seriously! there's this one kid, mark, who literally peruses the freezer slash fridge for any "unlabeled food." you see, he caught on the whole "if you don't label your food, we'll throw it away OR people can eat it! it's not labeled!!!" (last part in singsong-y voice). the little light bulb in his 20 year old broke ass mind went off, "hmmmm... i like food! i can read! unlabeled food, here i come!" so you'll walk into the break room and say, "wotcha doing marky?" and he'll say, "eating unlabeled food. hey, i'm broke!" he says, "hey i'm broke!" or some variation every time. cracks me up. one time i drank a diet coke (back when i was jonesin) that was labeled (!) by a girl who, i feel is evil and a poop head (suck on that poopy! bet you wondered where your diet coke went! that's right, in mah belleah!)



it's not just twenty year old boys either. there was once a crock pot full of some sort of meat (!) turned on and sitting in the break room for ... wait for it ... three days! and people were still eating it! and they would say things like, "this meat is really good!" and when i asked who brought it in they told me dr. jerkass. "umm, i don't think he's worked for like three days. when did he bring it in?" so i went onto the floor and asked. the response= "that meat is still on? he brought that in like three days ago!" those people will eat anything.
