Healthy Snack Box Gift

The rumors had been floating among my coworkers for weeks—someone found a moth in their sandwich, the janitor was battling a moth problem in the cleaning closet, and the lady from accounting had one of the little suckers fly into her ear. It wasn't until I found a moth in my own healthy snack box gift tucked away in my desk drawer that I knew our office truly had a major pest problem. Unlike the lady in accounting, I couldn't get worker's comp for my emotional distress, but my boss did promise me a healthy gift basket delivery for my woes and promptly called pest control fumigators.

In all honesty, we were all exceptionally relieved that the powers that be had finally decided to tackle this moth issue head-on. I'd sacrificed only one healthy snack gift box, but after we all compared notes, the problem was far worse than we expected. John, the customer relations specialist on the fourth floor, actually found a moth laying eggs in his underwear one day after work. Lana, the boss's secretary, lost an expensive set of false eyelashes when a giant moth mistook them for a threat and tried to attack her face. After that story, we all chipped in and got her a healthy snack box delivery because, man, she deserved it.

As relieved as we were about the impending fumigation and things finally getting back to normal, our boss, Mr. Teartrim, announced in the morning meeting that we wouldn't be able to completely close up shop. We thought we'd get a few days off while they treated the building, but, instead, he would be relocating us to his backyard to work for the rest of the week.

Mr. Teartrim had dropped a lot of details about his house over the years, but none of us in the entire team ever really gave much thought to the place until we were faced with actually having to go there. He made claims that he had this awesome backyard with an incredible view and a lot of privacy. So, when the bus picked us up outside the building on that Wednesday morning, we were all a little excited about actually seeing the place. Even better, when we climbed on the bus, we found healthy snack boxes for adults with our names on them in each of our seats.

When we made our way to his place, which was actually eighteen miles from town, we were in awe. He greeted us at the wrought-iron gate to his driveway with a smile and led us the rest of the way to the backyard on his three-wheeler. Everyone thanked Teartrim when we got off the bus, but all he kept saying was, "Healthy snack boxes for employees are the best start to the best day ever."

I mean, I have to say, what I got in my snack box wasn't really all that impressive. When it came to healthy food gift baskets whole foods were always the way to go, but he had filled my box with salted nuts, candy, and fermented fish. I made a mental note to collect some healthy food gifts for him so maybe he would get the hint.

Teartrim had really gone all out setting up our makeshift office for the team. He rented four tents, which his very large and very awesome backyard held perfectly fine. The row of woods behind us offered plenty of shade to keep us cool. Every tent housed rows of tables, including a snack bar of sorts that held the best healthy snack subscription boxes. I made sure to grab a seat close by so I would have access to the healthy gift baskets near me and could eat whenever I wanted. After the salty nuts and fermented fish I'd been forced to eat on the way there, I figured he owed me that much.

Beyond the tables, tents, and comfortable chairs, there was something a little odd at my workstation that I didn't quite understand. There, on my laptop keyboard when I opened it up was a card with moths on the front, which I thought was kind of in bad taste after the trauma we had all experienced. When I opened the card, though, things got even weirder. In cut-and-glued letters, the card said: How far would you go for the best healthy snack box, no subscription—meet me in the woods in one hour?

I closed the card as quickly as I'd opened it and scanned the room to see if anyone else had gotten a card. It was impossible for me to see everyone in each of the tents, but from what I could tell, in my tent, it was only me. As far as I was concerned, I would get my own healthy snack subscription box 2021 version. I wasn't about to go into the woods to see what Teartrim would ask of me.

In life, we get these major moments when we know without a doubt that we have made the best decision about something. This had only ever happened to me once before. A few years before the moth-relocation debacle, I was pulling together healthy lunch box ideas for adults after my girlfriend had gastric bypass surgery. When she caught me and immediately dropped to one knee to ask if I would marry her, I knew I'd made the right choice. On that day, when the noises started to radiate from the woods about an hour after we arrived, I knew I'd made the right call about not meeting Mr. Teartrim.

A few of the ladies across from me were discussing making healthy organic gift baskets using garden veggies when that shrill sound cut through the already-odd workday. We all froze—I even pulled my eyes away from the best healthy gift gaskets propped on the table beside me.

"What was that?" Becky from IT asked from beside me with a puzzled look on her face. The crowd of coworkers slowly started to buzz with chattering questions.

"I didn't hear anything. I've been immersed in healthy snack box ideas over here," I lied.

"It was a scream," she said, wide-eyed with panic. I didn't want to disclose that I'd avoided a very weird invitation when we first arrived, so I just shrugged and prayed silently that the scream had nothing to do with someone else who got the same request as me.

The scream we heard earlier in the day was a solo one, thankfully, so we all chalked it up to a neighbor's unruly kid and got back to work. It was around lunch that we realized one person was missing, right when I was googling "gift a snack box Amazon" and "healthy snack box Amazon" on my phone for the boss. I thought I could use some brownie points for turning down his unusual invitation, so maybe a healthy snack box Amazon had would smooth things over.

When we realized it was the boss's secretary herself that was missing, we decided we would split up to see if we could track her down. I can't lie, I was scared of what we would find. Someone would need to get that woman an Amazon snack box for sure when all this was over. I was especially worried because there was no way she would survive in the woods with those god awful eyelashes she always wore. There would be way worse than moths in there that would perceive those things as a threat!

Have you ever heard of a graze snack box? I hadn't either, but someone on the team said that we should all fix ourselves a graze box just in case we got lost while looking for Lana in the woods. I guess graze snacks are meant for people who are on the go and don't really have time to eat, which perfectly explained all of us that day.

By the time we got all of our boxes ready for the adventure to look for the missing secretary, we realized the boss was also oddly missing. Maybe this wasn't so odd to me. I just assumed Lana had also gotten one of those strange invitations, and, sadly, she'd taken it. I was afraid to bring this up, so everyone just assumed Teartrim had just made his way into the house to work. While we searched, I did learn that graze snack box USA was actually a thing you could order. I made plans to check that out if we ever got out of here.

We literally searched with our Amazon snacks and healthy snacks in hand until it was well after 5 PM, getting dark, and getting frustrating climbing around in the woods. When five o'clock hits on any other workday, we're all out as fast as we come in. Most days, you can't even keep us at the office late with the best snack boxes on Amazon.

At almost six, we gave up. We still don't know what happened to Lana, but there's been a lot of speculation since that day. Thankfully, the fumigation was completed early and we returned to the office the next day, sans Lana. Mr. Teartrim was there though, bright and early and strangely chipper for a change. He gave us all an Amazon international snack box that morning for our trouble and mentioned Lana had found out about a family situation back east mid-day the day before and had transferred.

The weirdest thing though, we all got these rare fried barbecue moths in our snack boxes. And, maybe I'm crazy, but I could still swear that one of them had a clump of long eyelashes hanging out of its mouth.
