Snack Attack

OK, I have a confession to make. I’m totally hording candy and snacks in my desk.

Each month, I pay into a snack fund at work to buy snacky foods like rice cakes (senbei), pretzel sticks, nuts, candy & chocolate, tea, coffee, gum, etc, etc. Each grade group does this and we keep all the snacks in a cabinet near our area, so you can just take whatever you like when you like it. One person is responsible for going shopping for the stuff every month I think most people pay somewhere between ￥1,000-2,000, but since I leave earlier than the homeroom teachers (who can be here until 10pm sometimes) and thus snack less… I pay less and consider it a pretty good deal.

I definitely take advantage of the tea, but the problem is that we keep the snacks in a cabinet and all the good ones go really fast & usually after hours, when I'm not here.  I think they're just hiden in the cabinet so the kids don't know we have food (because they're not supposed to eat during the day, outside of lunch).  Anyways, just feeling a little guilty because these treats are the healthiest (even if it's rice) and I really don't need to hoard... but... maybe it doesn't hurt if my share is just hidden in my desk... just in case I do want some...
