subject: Kosher Candy And Other Office Snacks [print this page] Office life can feel endlessly boringOffice life can feel endlessly boring. Even those of us with dream jobs we have always dreamed of doing have to wonder sometimes how we get through the long work day with so much to do without going a little bit batty. Luckily most office workers have some bright spots where the work can get put to the side for a moment in favor of a chat, a laugh or some other little piece of joy. For the moments where happiness seems far away many of us turn to the internet or to a sympathetic coworker. Still there are those moments, even in the best jobs, where all you can do to stave off the insanity is eat a snack to relax.
Keeping a selection of snacks on one's desk is a great way to have a little oasis of relief in arms reach for when the day gets a little stressful. There are of course some foods that are great for office snack stashes and others that are awful options. Some chocolate is okay for example as long as each piece is individually wrapped or in a resealable bag. A resealable tin of chocolate covered pretzels for example can really help the day along when things get stressful. For the sake of your coworkers it is always nice to have a selection of kosher candy so you can share it with everyone in the office. When you catch someone having a bad day you can offer them a delicious piece of candy brightening things up, if only for a moment.
Of course if the sugary salty combination of chocolate covered pretzels or the sweet punch of chocolate seems a little too unhealthy an indulgence for everyday there are healthier snacks you can keep readily available on your desk. Dried fruits and nuts are delicious, offer salty and sweet flavor options and do so with less sugar than the "once in a while" snacks previously mentioned. What is more when you need an afternoon boost these foods will actually not only tantalize your taste buds but will offer your body much needed proteins and nutrients it needs to keep going.
It can be pretty the difference a delicious afternoon or mid morning snack can make. More than a cup of coffee or a You Tube video about a cat these snacks can offer you a little moment of joy and relief and a pick me up all at once. Office life is not always the dreadful series of boredom and unpleasantness some would have you believe but when it gets there it's good to have snacks handy.
