WTF

Fallout NV is still good, Fable 3 is awesome, WoW is still going strong......

But something REALLY got to me today.   I know I have spoken about my mother's awesome cooking abilities in the past and my family's obsession with candy, cookies, ect.  Well, Sunday, I decided to make a batch of cookies, ok, 2 batches of cookies.....based on a recipe I have that was already doubled....so I had a friggin TON of cookies.  half M&M cookies, half peanut butter/reecies pieces cookies.  and they turned out pretty good, not my best work (but then again, brazilian black cocoa is not easy to get a hold of for my favorit recipe), they were a little hard do to the fact that this was normally a recipe I saved for making cookie icecream sandwiches....but decided to make them because they use less salt and stay fresh longer.   so here I am with 2 1 gallon ziploc bags of cookies.  My wife takes one to her side of the office and they are a massive hit.  I took a bag to my side of the office....and at the end of the day she had less than half her cookies left.  I had all but the 2 I ate and the three eaten by a co-worker from a long ways back (who has often said how much she loves my oooking).    Now, I spent a while working as a cook, and more time training to be a professional pastry chef so the lack of interest in my section (mostly populated by biter old cows who hear "free food" and will bust down their cubicle walls to be the first ones there)....toward the end of the day I asked a co-worker from my section if she tried the cookes (knowing damn well she didn't), her response was, "well, I would but I didn't want to be vomiting blood for the next week"   anoher said "I would love to have a cookie, but not one of those poison disks you are trying to throw in our faces" (I assume she meant the email my boss sent out saying that I made cookies for the section).  and even another accused me of trying to rig the odds in my favor if they ever held a drug test in the office.  yeah, I know I'm the wierdo, the one who plays video games and listens to heavy metal, but  here we are, I tried to make nice, I tried to extend an olive branch for the sake of our mutual hatred for the place we work, and all I recieve was accusations of trying to either poison them (intentionally or unintentionally) accusations that I'm a drug addict (yeah, I never even tried pot) and general statements about my cooking abilities from people who base their opinions of me on how much I remind them of their own deliquent children.  

So, after this super crappy day, I'm done, I'm going back to being that guy who doesn't talk to any of them.  They can keep spreading how I am one of those gamers who listens to that "devil's music".  yeah, these high school drop out may be making twice as much as I do, but I do 3x the work they do, (I've already taken over 2 of their jobs), and I still have some pride since I didn't suck off someone to get where I currently am.  but most of all I know how to make REAL fucking cookies that aren't from a recipe copied off of the back of a chocolate chip bag.  So they can have their no-bake pieces of shit, while I enjoy my cookies made from scratch....I'm also working on a custom cake recipe, a single batch never to be repeated recipe that I will be using to make 2 cakes, one for my wife's section and one for my friend who likes my cooking.   I'm thinking a light sweet and savory blended cake with a dark chocolate truffel icing....so it looks like I'll be tracking down more fresh safferon, black cocoa, and a bottle of 151.

Sorry for the horrible spelling and such, it's been a long day and the only thing keeping me awake is the knowlage that if I go to sleep now, tomorrow will come faster.
