The Premiere Bagel

Most companies provide employees with incentives for waking up early, working hard, and providing positive results for their organizations. The business I work for does this (amongst other things) through bagels. Each Friday, when one walks through the kitchen after 8:30AM, he or she will observe a wide array of bagels on two white platter trays. There are typically two or three different types of cream cheese, butter, and jelly sitting next to the bagels. I suppose we are being rewarded for making it through another week. "Hey! You did it! Congrats! Fill up on some carbs to get you through this last hump before the weekend!" I love Bagel Friday. The carbs provide me with the energy I need to get through one last day. You see, I have to wake up at 5:30AM to be at work by 6:30, so the bagel (or bagels if I'm feeling particularly gluttonous) gives me the energy to keep on writing, writing, writing.
