Fate my butt!

Yesterday I saw a fellow worker eating a chocolate covered cookie. It looked good but I didn't give it much thought. Ok, a little more thought than I would like to admit but I NEVER went looking for the source of that cookie.

This morning, as I was getting my morning coffee, I noticed a nice tin of cookies sitting on a table. It wasn't there yesterday. So without even trying I found the source of the chocolate covered delights. Well I figured it was fate and who am I to try and trip up fate? I walked right over and took not one but two of the cookies, one dark chocolate, one white.

Just as I was taking my first bite a fellow worker walked in. She gave me a funny glance.

Fellow worker: Are you seriously going to eating that?

Me: *bite* sure am *smile*

FW: I tried to get them to throw them out yesterday

Me: *chewing slowly* what's that?

FW: Those cookies are two years old.

Me: *mouth freezes* Seriously? ... but just opened, right?

FW: No, they've been open for two years *smile*

Me: *swallow* shit

I'm not feeling great right now. Maybe it's some lingering side effects from the virus I'm getting over, maybe it is the cookie or maybe it's just fate's way of laughing at me... again. grrrrr.
