Why's there chicken under the desk?

So ... it's been a few months. Loads have happened. After several months of non-performance, I caught my assistant forging documents for money and time off. As a result, I am without any office help these days.

After a couple of months of that, I finally got somebody to help me out for a few hours a week. When she came in this afternoon, she set her stuff down, stood there and asked me why there was chicken under the desk.

Immediate visual in my head had a live chicken clucking around under there. Obviously, I had to go see what's going on, even knowing that finding a live chicken would probably freak me out. What I found was a bowl with a piece of chicken drum-stick in it sitting on top of the computer CPU tower.

Back Story:
I've been sick the last few days. I even lost my voice for a few days and am only still just recovering. (don't worry, I should be back to being able to yell at people soon) So ... I've been making a small pot of chicken soup every night to bring to work the next day. I shared some with H today and must have just drank the soup and left the meat in the bowl and left the whole thing behind.

Thanks to the chicken soup or whatever it was ... I am feeling a little better and slowly regaining my voice back.

Easy overnight chicken soup:
In a 1.6 quart crockpot, throw in the following:
2 chicken drumsticks
piece of ginger, smashed (about the size of a thumb)
2 whole dried shitake mushrooms
1 piece of dried scallop
2 pieces of dried conch
salt
fill with water, set to low
Go to sleep
Find yummy soup in the morning!
