Just shameful and embarrassing.

Please tell me this isn’t real…

pretty much how the week’s gone down. Baskets and baskets full of candy, crappy carbage and more junk. I’m surprised they aren’t lining up vials of insulin for us next to all the crappy carbage. It would mean something if someone, ANYONE, even took the time to make something. I still wouldn’t eat it, but it’s the thought. What’s so special about oreos and twizzlers?

Wednesday pretty much sums up the whole week.

Serious as Type 2 diabetes related heart attack. The hospital I work at.

Saturday, May 13 Thunder pants party!
Sunday, May 14 Diabetes galore!

Insulin injections available when you punch out…

According to Dr Kraft, heart disease victims without Type 2 diabetes are simply undiagnosed.

OMG, We had free ice cream one day this week at my hospital for all of the nurses. Someone asked if I was going to get some and I just said “No, I don’t eat sugar”. A female anesthesiologist standing next to me replied “you probably should.” She’s always making jabs at me like this because Im thin. Sigh

But yes, its been a week of free lunches, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, etc.

I’d be too tempted to tape a picture of an insulin vial at the bottom of the sign with the word “Saturday”.

My lady is an RN every Sunday one of her go workers brings in like 3 dozen donuts… I’m in an office and it’s always candy and cakes and whatever… They finally stopped asking me…

It’s unbelievably the amount of carbage that is typically in our break room.

Ugh. Lab Week was the same way… Happy Nurse week BTW. :smiley::poultry_leg::palm_tree:

Yep, it’s been the same for nurses week here as well. Our supervisors created little gift bags full of little candies/sugar bombs. Although the colleagues in my office knew I “don’t eat sugar”, so when they ordered lunch in for Wed, they made sure there was “something I could eat” on the menu.

Happy Nurses Week!

Yep, work in hospital too. Same sad deal here. But, I think I’m influencing my co-workers. They see what I eat everyday and I’ve lost 37 lbs. I’ve noticed a number of people are skipping buns, crackers and tortilla wraps lately :slight_smile: Happy Hospital Week to all!


(G. Andrew Duthie) #16

I believe the appropriate response to such jabs is “shut yer piehole!” :wink:

Kidding, of course, but I’m sure it’s tempting to say that.


(nicolerecine) #17

There’s LOTS of things I wanted to say :wink:

Best to just say nothing in the work place haha

Happy nurse’s week. By the looks of that schedule, you may be treating some of your coworkers one day. Happy ketoing!

Ugh! My kids school had muffins with mom this morning. It should have been “Crappy carbage with Mom” It was a spread of croissants, coffee cake muffins, chocolate chip muffins, loaves of banana bread, jugs of orange juice, containers of coffee mate for the coffee, and granola bars just in case you didn’t get quite enough sugar. I brought my own low carb, sugar free muffins I made the day before and my bullet proof coffee just so I could sit and eat with my kids, who mainly stuck to eating the grapes and strawberries they also had out and some muffins from home.
