I have been working hard for the past month at establishing my “Professional Barbie” demeanor at my new job only to have it tarnished. A few moments ago, my manager walked into my cube to pick up some things I have been working on and caught me red handed.
We were having a discussion about work related topics when she stopped suddenly and sniffed. Then she took a closer look at me.
“What the hell are you eating?” she asked me.
Sheepishly, I looked down and mumbled “A fruit roll-up.”
“Seriously?” she asked me.
“Yep,” I said. “I am twelve.”
At this point, she laughed and said “You know, would get along very well with my son. He loves them too.” NOTE TO MOM: Her son is 3 and not a potential date for the wedding.
So there it is. I can no longer be looked upon as a professional after being caught eating a strawberry Scooby Doo fruit roll-up with tattoos. I'm done.

Yeah, but, you do have one saving grace...
You KNOW if your boss is buying them for her kid, then she HAS to have taken a bite of one of those things at some point... so she knows the strawberry goodness that digs deep beneath the slight surface of a fruit rollup.
Side note, ever get a piece stuck on the roof of your mouth?
Almost impossible to get off without using your finger.
It is such a strange food, but it is so delicious! That is funny that you got caught. :)
It is absolutely a "finger in the mouth" snack. Which probably does not add to the professional factor.
Guess I'd better leave the Rice Krispie treats at home, huh? I'm going to get a bad reputation.
