After snagging a few sweets leftover from a recent executive meeting (which I did not attend), I must concur with my colleague Alex Goldman's assessment of the food hierarchy at this company:

1) accountants
2) marketing/sales folks
3) analysts
4) journalists

This food I'm stuffing in my face now came from a meeting of accounting people, and it's far better than anything I've been served around here.

pawing at crumbs... the press=bottomfeeder stigma lives on.
