Cinco De Mayo Work Party

Finally, my company has a vegan option at a company party. They don't know there's an herbivore in the crowd. The Cinco De Mayo party offered a nacho bar with chips, chili, nacho cheese, salsa, and peppers. I got to eat at work today! I had chips with salsa and peppers.

I don't feel comfortable telling my coworkers I eat only plants. I don't want special treatment. That usually doesn't go well. Around here, they probably don't know what "vegan" means. No one notices I get only a drink and maybe potato chips at each of the company parties. The others often get barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, slaw, pizza, baked beans, fried chicken, eggs with bacon and biscuits, or hamburgers. I usually go into the party and quietly look over the food. I may say "Oooh, that smells really good!". But I almost always get a Solo cup of Coca-Cola and stand around like I just finished eating.
