This choice: annoying (and fat!) co-workers • Go Back...Chapter #5Eating on the job by: brains2   Just then, Rachael looked over at her alarm clock.
"Oh no, I'm late!" She cried. With some trouble, she struggled to her feet. It was tricky getting dressed with a large, distended stomach containing a now-digesting (ex) roommate, but she was determined and managed somehow. She luckily had a very baggy coat that managed to still fit over her gut (hopefully nobody would ask her to take it off - sweatpants and an XXL t-shirt weren't exactly work attire).
As she wobbled out the door, she felt an odd feeling in her stomach. She frowned, frustrated. That pleasantly full and satisfied feeling in her happy belly was gone already. "Damn, if I wasn't late I'd pick up something on the way to work..." she hissed to herself.
