My job has proven to be hazardous to my health. Not only do I sometimes get pinched, bitten, screamed at and spit on, I also have to drive away compulsions daily because of little pieces of a rainbow.
You all know what I'm talking about... skittles - "taste the rainbow". Funny how they use the verb "taste" rather than "devour" as I tend to do. These little treats (which, really aren't THAT tasty) have had a little power over me today.
Do you know what a kid will do for a skittle? I have them here, to bribe a child, to reward a child, to torment a child (eat one when they do something naughty, they HATE it!!), etc... so, these little addictons are sitting in the cabinet just to the right of me right now.. it would be so easy to slip over and scoop up a handful.... or two...
BUT I AM NOT!!!! Instead, I am eating tasty little almonds and keeping my hands busy with typing. This is so easy (no it's not!) I'm completely in control of my cravings (really, am I?). Almonds taste so much better than skittles (really, who am I trying to fool?) ....
