What do reporters eat? What powers our brains and bodies as we strive to produce high quality news on a strict deadline? Many films about reporters depict them typing away in smoke filled newsrooms occasionally taking a discrete pull from a bottle of scotch concealed beneath a pile of old newspapers on their desk. Maybe every once in a while they’ll take lunch with a high influential source at a fine dining establishment in the heart of a bustling metropolis. Maybe, I’m thinking of lawyers.
Anyway, here’s what’s truly the latest in haute cuisine in the Enterprise newsroom.
That’s a nearly empty FOUR POUND jug of animal crackers. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the communal cracker trough when it was filled less than a week ago.
This is second jug of crackers the newsroom staff has devoured in as many weeks. In addition to providing sustenance, I like to believe these crackers have also served as a sort staff-wide inoculation. Whatever germs are dwelling in the cracker tub, which is frequently dipped into by ink stained and sweaty hands throughout the day, odds are everyone who works at the Enterprise is immune to them by now.
Save for, perhaps, myself, as I haven’t been so bold as to dip into the jar yet.
*cough*
