So I had the most disturbing thing happen to me at work today. For those of you that don't know I work in a research lab. Food is strictly prohibited in our lab. There is a file cabinet outside the door of our lab. The four of us that work in the lab put our snacks and sometimes lunches there. This morning Lance made me a wonderful lunch with goldfish, string cheese, and many more exciting snacks. I put the lunchbox in my usual spot on the file cabinet. Around 11am I went to the bathroom and when I came back (less than 5 minutes later) my lunchbox had disappeared! Also stolen was a coffee mug with old coffee in it and our white board. Can you imagine what kind of person would steal a pregnant lady's lunch? So my boss and I walked around our floor asking if anyone knew what had happened. No one saw anything, which is also weird considering our floor rarely gets visitors. There is a total of 13 of us on the floor. Our lab of 4, 3 clinical lab scientists, 4 adminstrators, and 2 pathologists. Medical students will occasionally come to our floor for a class or seminar, but its finals week. Investigation is still taking place. I will let you know what I find. My number one suspect the old cranky pathologist.

hahaha I'm pretty sure I read about the same thing happening in a kid's mystery book. Hope you find it.
Hmmmm. This reminds me of an episode of 'Friends'. Someone at work takes Ross's gravy sandwich that Monica made him. He doesn't know what to do so he lets Phoebe(who is hardened from living on the streets)teach him how to be angry and threatening. So he leaves an angry note and subsequently begins getting over-angry at everything until they make him take anger management classes.
It's definitely a fine line Jess, but let your hormones work for you, not against you and show them who the lunch box boss is. Just remember to reign it in a little when it comes to the little things like no paper towels in the bathroom.
You can do it!
Jess,
You should leave a passive-aggressive note about stealing pregnant women's lunches!
Here is some inspiration:

Hope all is well!
