Some days I regret going to work, but not today!
I work with one of the sweetest ladies. She's from Burma, and if anyone is willing to listen, she will share interesting stories about her life growing up there.
She became friends with Jim from our lab, and now the whole lab is lucky because they get together and make egg rolls for everybody.
I was lucky enough to work with these 2 generous people and become friends with them over the years, but even luckier that they think of me when they make food!
Jim makes a special batch of egg rolls for me, the vegetarian, and they are delicious!
The lab had 3 vegetarians (myself included) out of about 75 people.
My vegetarian coworkers all left but were eventually replaced by new ones.
Now when we have events at work, someone always thinks of adding a vegetarian option, and I am so grateful.
We've also noticed many people that aren't vegetarians prefer that option, tossing meat aside for that one meal at least.
I'm not a nag or a mean vegan about other people's food choices. I (usually) quietly adhere to my own set of values. It is such a good feeling to share your values and perhaps change some minds just by being who you are.
