i stole today

I have a problem. Anytime I eat anything salty, I have to follow it with something sweet. We had a free lunch today from Smokehouse BBQ, and afterwards I really needed to eat something sweet. I didn't want to get a candy bar from the vending machines because I just wanted something small... like a few m&ms. Unfortunately, I could not find any on Stacey's carrel. So I went in search of anything else. My second stop was Naseem's carrel. She had nothing. I left her a note of complaint. I then noticed that one of the carrels near Naseem's still had a few tootsie rolls left over from earlier this week (it is election week at the law school and two students distributed treats in hopes of getting more votes... I ate the ones that were left on my desk but didn't remember who I was supposed to vote for). Anyway, I saw the little tootsie rolls and figured that if someone hasn't bothered to eat them or put them away, then they probably didn't want them. So I took two. They hit the spot. I don't even feel bad for taking them.

P.S. I know the person from whom I took the tootsie rolls and he won't care so it is not really stealing.
