Two weird ass public health actions:

(1.) Often times, we have a serious ant problem in our kitchen... I mean SERIOUS!!! They crawl all over the sink, under the back door and even the copy machine. Yay! Nothing like smooshed ant on a copy of an important document. Anywho, you would think that we could put down some ant killer or something, but noooooo, it's not environmentally safe. I guess I'll just go back to some old fashion stomp actions, cuz I ain't trying get no extra protein in my food!

(2.) What the hell do I do with those Styrofoam peanuts?!?! When we order items, they load up the boxes with those things. However, with the Berkeley ordinance, the disposal of Styrofoam is regulated, and a fine may be assessed if this is done so. So, I ask the environmental health folks on how to get rid of this stuff, and they are like "I dunno." Great. If ya ever looking for them peanuts, holla at ya gurl... I got dat hook up.

(3.) Good snacks/Bad snacks. When it ain't ant season, often times we share food in the office. You'll find fruit, bagels, and other dishes... which is great when you are a baller on a budget. But sometimes folks leave out the most tempting snacks. Like this morning, somebody left out 4 or 5 boxes of Tastykakes... cream filled, chocolate... sugar overload!!! I can only imagine the e-mail the nutrition folks are gonna send out. I see how it is, just trying to keep a sistah down and round.
