Who IS this cheap SOB?
Well, not me - I prefer the term frugal ... perhaps even resourceful.

Anyway, we all know about how, in the corporate world, leftover food from meetings is often made available to local employees, much like table scraps are tossed to dogs. So I went to the cafeteria to grab some hot water for my tea and notice an arrangement of such leftover. Mind you, it wasn't the usual spread. Not at all. Now I'm familiar with the scattered assortment of crusty bagels and stale donuts, maybe a picked over fruit salad or a few finger sandwiches of the variety that no one quite cared for. But I was not familiar with this; this hearty offering of italian delights - baked ziti, garlic bread, house salad, and about 12 different choices of dressing. And brownies.

Now, I had already had my meal today. Yep, leftover frozen pizza and a soup cup. However, there was no way I was letting this free meal be dismissed simply because I wasn't hungry. No sir! I heaped a mountain of tasty carbs and fresh veggies onto a nearby paper plate, brought it back to my desk, unfolded the ball of foil from my previous meal, wrapped the plate, and stuck it into the office fridge.

I'm now considering going back and making another plate for Friday...
