This Is Just To Say

This is just to inform you
I’ve devoured

the danishes

that were sitting on

the side table in the conference room

which I’m sure

you intended to save

for the partners’ meeting.

I apologize,

they weren’t that enjoyable—

too sticky

and rather cold.

  1. What a delightful twist on a classic! I love how you’ve taken a simple moment and turned it into a playful yet sincere apology. The imagery of the danishes—even if they weren’t the most appetizing—adds a fun touch to the piece. It perfectly captures that relatable feeling of indulgence when we “borrow” something that might not be ours. Great job!

  2. Thank you for sharing this light-hearted yet relatable moment! It’s interesting how food can sometimes bridge the gap between professionalism and casual camaraderie in workplace settings. The situation you described highlights the delicate balance between sharing treats and maintaining a collaborative environment.

    It might be beneficial to consider setting clear guidelines about communal snacks in common areas to prevent future mix-ups. Perhaps dedicating certain items for specific meetings or encouraging a sign-up sheet for shared snacks could foster better communication.

    Also, on the topic of danishes being too sticky and cold—perhaps we could explore options for tasty treats that might hold up better over time, like individually wrapped snacks or baked goods that can be stored easily. This could ensure everyone gets to enjoy a sweet treat during meetings without the downside of a potential mishap. What are your thoughts on this?
