What about that smelly lunch – Photo credit: commission based.wordpress.com

I love spicy, fragrant, exciting food! From African to Indian, not to mention my beloved Middle Eastern sauces and Greek condiments, I’m into food, distinctive, unique food! Oh and did I mention fish is on top of my favorites list…

Unfortunately, distinctive foods and tight cubicles and offices do not make for a happy marriage. Actually, they can make for a pretty unhappy, productivity-killing mood for many people.

We’ve all overheard at some point about the co-worker with the “smelly lunch”. Or even thought to ourselves “Wow, that’s a strong fish smell”! And while I confess to being the offender many a times (um, sorry for the fish rice and tuna dishes), I also realize I may have (unintentionally) broken one or two of those unspoken, “don’t ask don’t tell” office rules.

After all, it is true that there really ain’t no free lunch, even your lovingly homemade, healthy (albeit slightly smelly) lunch will cost ya! As for me, I still love my spicy rice fish, I just happily take a lunch break now, a real, out of the office one…
