So here's the situation. The supervisor of a different Division asked me to help her out yesterday, building a form. She was worried my boss would be unhappy about me working on someone else's stuff, so asked him if it was okay. His response--and that of a co-worker within my Division--was that is was fine, and long as the supervisor brought them cookies.

Which she did, today. A dozen cookies for each of them. Luscious, crumbly, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.

Neither my boss nor the co-worker are in the office today. They won't be back tomorrow, either.

The cookies are completely undefended.


So how guilty should I feel for preventing one cookie from potentially getting stale before the recipient returns?!? I mean, really, it's because of my labors that they got the cookies at all, right? I'm sure they would have shared, really!

And, yes, it's a moot point--I already ate the cookie. :devil:
 
was the cookie good? Maybe they won't notice.
 
Delectable. She's an excellent cook. Just a little touch of cinnamon.

Oh, they'll notice. As if me stealing a cookie wasn't bad enough, the Division Chief saw them, and he took one too. :D

I would've taken a dozen and told them to split the other, lol....
LMAO!! this is funny!! Even better than this, in order to keep the Chief's mouth shut, share a batch with him then split the leftover amongst tomorrow's recipients.... that's even MORE for you, OG!! :D
 
I guess it depends on how good the cookies are. I think you need to bring us some samples so we can better answer your question. ;)
