Recently we moved to a brand new, built from the ground up, clinic. It’s a state of the art building, and has almost everything you could ever want in a clinic. The only thing that is not new is that fact that people are still going into the refrigerator and eating other people’s lunch. It was soon after we moved into the new building that someone went in and ate my leftover pizza that I had brought in for lunch.

The stealing of the lunches doesn't end there. The other day I walked in the break room and I saw the following note:

 

As I read the note I wondered if someone had actually thrown away the cheese and crackers or had they been eaten by the same scoundrel that had eatten my pizza. I wasn’t the only one who suspected foul play in the disappearance of the cheese and crackers. My friend Charlene made a list of suspects and is narrowing it down as we speak – this is a short note to the thief “We will find out who you are and you will pay. Damn you, you will pay for eating my pizza!”

It seems that this case of missing crackers and cheese has become the talk of the clinic. One of my co-workers, George, even sent me this message:

Well, it seems that George has a bit of a sense of humor when it comes to another person's missing crackers and chesse. He's actually a pretty funny guy and you can find him posting all kinds of stuff on his facebook page.

I don't think we'll ever find out who actually ate the cheese and crackers - I don't think we'll ever find out whose cheese and crackers they were either. I guess that's just life - sometimes you eat the cheese and crackers; sometimes you get your chesse and crackers eaten.
