she ONLY eats pork? is it just a taste preference?

She was completely vegetarian for a while for reputed health reasons (fibroids for which she gave up most everything) and then sans chocolate for political reasons.

But she won't even eat free trade chocolate, because of the denial tip again.

That's kinda cool, but I cringe for the oven.

A friend of mine used to check her voicemail on speaker from her cube, until another friend left her a reall dirty voicemail. To get her to stop doing that!

I occasionally use speakerphone in my open cube, but I have the cube at the end of the row and the two desks next to me are empty.
