Secret Vices
Greg eats extremely healthy food. He is vegetarian, and keeps no junk food in his house at all. I have only seen him drink water, milk, beer, and wine. I've often remarked on his healthy diet. And yet... all is not as it seems.
We are in Dresden. Greg is here for the Second Largest Supercomputer Tradeshow on Earth. We are eating with Jimmy, Director of Sales Engineering. Greg tells Jimmy it's been 20 years since he last ate meat. Jimmy asks, "How long since your last Snickers?" I laugh incredulously. Greg simply smiles mysteriously.
Jimmy asks, "Six days?"
"What?" I exclaim in confusion. "Greg doesn't eat junk food."
"Greg eats Snickers for lunch every day."
Greg admits that he's known for his daily Coke and Snickers lunches! I've known Greg seven months, and shared numerous meals with him. I have never once seen him purchase or indulge in a candy bar. No wonder -- he fills up on sugar at work!
You don't really know a person, until you've met his work colleagues.
