Pizza Selection...Just NO!

2.5 decades in IT and any IT position, including Dallas, I would assume "plain cheese" for more than half, not meat for most. IT, in general, is one of the heaviest vegetarian populations of any field and Dallas IT especially.

Weird cause I have worked with and been responsible for ordering for LARGE helpdesks before (150 people plus) and there wasn't one non-bacon/pepperoni eater in the bunch. Now there were lots of MEGA food allergy people you know the whole gluten free dairy free can't eat anything without getting sick people too.

I am surprised you guys aren't 24/7. Usually enterprise helpdesks run 365 days a year for 24 hours a day.
We are. But our company is large enough that after normal US hours, it fails over to EMEA or APAC for the US off-hours support. It's not uncommon on my team to get calls from all over the world, as our teams in those parts of the world for my product are worthless...

Yeah, Scott seems to think a lot of IT people are vegetarians. Scott is the only one I know of...

Your company treats you guys to lunch? Wow...
Not often. This is a special week. We do get free donuts every Friday though. They order hundreds of donuts for the building every Friday.

Also, I know this is most definitely NOT true. Most of the IT field is guys...almost every vegetarian I've ever met is a woman...not being sexist, just a realist.

There is a reason why BACON is everywhere on IT stuff and Geek stuff :P. Hipsters/Geek wanna be's are Vegetarians. True geeks are not

@Minion-Queen True geeks have a diet of bacon and Mt. Dew. Or at least 95% of the time...

It's funny... I can't drink Mt. Dew and I like bacon but not as ravenously as many IT Pros. That being said it appears I am no true geek.
-
But you do eat it. I can't drink Mt. Dew or most other pop either (allergies I am that dreaded all consuming can't eat anything geek). But I eat bacon!

Exactly! I don't drink Mt. Dew like I used to, but I still drink it. And I LOVE bacon, although I don't eat it very often...

@scottalanmiller is just crazy.

I like fake bacon. The meat-free stuff from Morningstar.

I'm not a big fan of meat-free anything... I just haven't seen anything get the texture right... Although when I worked at a school the head of food services made a meat-less dinner for everyone one night... it was interesting and generally the flavors are pretty close, just can't get past the texture.
I would prefer a good ground sausage with my eggs in the morning... but the fiance likes bacon so that's what we eat.

Key word being fake. I thought that's what we gave kids to play with when they were teething...it's made of plastic, right?

Eating it straight, I prefer bacon, IF it's crispy. Like, you put your lips together on it it snaps in half it's so crispy. I prefer sausage for breakfast sandwiches, etc, because it bites easier and I prefer the flavor.

Yep, bacon is only good when it is basically burnt...

That's another one of your completely made-up "facts", isn't it?
