Gross. But I feel ya. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-182140 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:25:26 +0000 petuniasandpearls 182140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat constantly at work--I bring a big bag of food every day. Yesterday we had a 6 hour retreat and it was one of those days where I was hungry from sunrise to sundown. We're sitting in a circle, doing team building, and I have to make a scene by getting up and going to get my banana because I feel like I'm going to die. Luckily people seem to be getting a kick out of the fact that I never come to a meeting without food and I seem to constantly be chewing on something. Let's see if that will last for about 5.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181878 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:56:16 +0000 chopsuey 181878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to just talk food in my mouth! :) I've mastered it so people can't tell I'm eating/chewing. Try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181874 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:53:43 +0000 Modern Daisy 181874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually try to take small bites and chew as much as possible before answering the phone. Then I do my best to sound like I"m not eating when talking to the person on the other line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181815 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:06:58 +0000 Rescuemom10 181815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! That made me giggle! That stinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181814 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:06:16 +0000 Alivoo01 181814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: oh man! That's even worse - what a waste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181729 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:28:16 +0000 DillonLion 181729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Most of the time I just spit it in the trash, but I have wasted so many good bites lately, but I just refused this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181725 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:26:27 +0000 Alivoo01 181725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA! That sucks major!! I would totally push it to the side of my mouth and chew/swallow while the other person is talking. Hope your company finds a new receptionist soon so that you can stop spitting half chewed food into your hands. Ick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181705 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:04:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 181705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snack all the time, it never fails when I take a bigger bite someone comes to talk to me and I have a mouth full! Not fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181696 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:59:25 +0000 mrbee 181696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes!!</p> <p>Is there something you could drink to achieve a similar effect? Might be easier on your poor hand!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181695 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:59:20 +0000 heffalump 181695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! That is annoying. Hope things slow down so you can get your snacks in :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181692 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:56:21 +0000 ninja 181692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh :( That sucks! I hope they find a replacement receptionist soon!<br /> I snack constantly too, but people always think I'm "at lunch" when they come to talk to me, so they stop bugging me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snacking-at-work-a-story#post-181684 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:48:00 +0000 DillonLion 181684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I've been answering the phones for the last few weeks while we look for a replacement receptionist. </p> <p>I've also been trying to snack more regularly to keep my blood sugars level and keep from feeling sick. Well the combination of answering phones and constantly snacking means I've had to constantly spit bites out of my mouth when the phone rings. HOLY ANNOYING.</p> <p>I just had a 10 minute phone conversation with half chewed granola bar sitting in my hand. Awesome. </p>
