"Where are the cookies?"

This afternoon, I heard someone, who was trying hard not to sound alarmed, asking "Where are the cookies?" I looked out into the hallway to find Nina holding a cup of coffee in the vicinity of my office looking rather distressed. She calmed down after I informed her the cookie jar had been left in the lunchroom and there were still cookies left. She explained, "I've been looking forward to a cookie all day and they were no longer in your office and I thought maybe people ate them all before I got one." Poor Nina, she's having a stressful and hectic day (darn those freakin huge datasets)...glad to feed her cookies anytime.

Note: I've been keeping a cookie jar filled with homemade cookie in my office at work....this week it's oatmeal cranberry. One of these days, I'm going to find some time to make rolled sugar cookies.
