Puke-umber

It's one of those afternoons. I'm very tired, having gotten somewhere between five and six hours of sleep last night, and I'm Starving because I ate my lunch at ten o'clock this morning.

 

That wouldn't be so bad in itself, and certainly not unusual, but I went around the building snooping for food and that's where things went downhill.

 

Now, sometimes people leave things in the coffee room for others to eat, like cookies or apples. Well today it was cucumbers. A big bag of cucumbers. I actually like cucumbers and, as I already stated, I am staving today so I grabbed one.

 

Well, I bit into it and it was rotten inside. The taste left in my mouth now is somewhere between mold and sour milk and it won't go away.

 

It's a darned good thing I have a dental cleaning scheduled today or I might have had to schedule one.
