In fact, we've got weirdos that lurk around the common areas, hoping to beat the lines. They act like they just *happen* to be walking by, and they're like, "Oh, pizza's here? I'll just grab a slice or two and head back to my office to get some work done." It's kinda pathetic. Granted, I'm the only one who does this so far, but I predict this will become a growth problem that HR will need to deal with some day.

We use it and it's great for these sort of announcements, especially if you get enough people in the company to follow up to a 'Pizza Announcement'. The increased 'chatter' will draw the attention on the screens of even the most engrossed sound technician or techy! Ben,

Well, actually that is probably true. I do eat a lot. I missed you guys so much I ordered my own pizza for dinner last night. It totally wasn't as good.- Amy Wait, you have to get a whole extra pizza just for me?! Well, actually that is probably true. I do eat a lot.

Amy is in Boston. If she were here, we'd need to get 9 to feed everyone. And I would have really had to think about what to put on that last one, cause I had just about exhausted the pizza toppings when I got to the last one (buffalo chicken!)
