開始新的工作已經兩周，雖然是在同一家公司，還是IT，但畢竟是在一個以前沒有工作過的部門，感覺很多事情要學，也很新鮮。本文願意跟大家分享一下新部門的最大不同之處。
歡迎我來新部門上班的是一個很特別的email，在我應該開始新工作的前兩天，收到了一個DRB送的email。Email是這樣開始的，“百草，你好！歡迎你加入我們的部門！DRB（Donut Review Board – 甜點監督協會）發現你已經違反我們甜點條例的第6條，務請在一周內給大家帶來甜點。DRB的敦促是沒商量地，你可以認為這是最終警告。”
媽呀，人還沒到，就讓人給盯上了！email還發給全部門，啥意思？不就是大家監督你帶甜點嗎，還說什麼第6條，俺給上供甜點還不行嗎！
一上班就發現，幾乎每天都收到這個DRB的email，今天張三違反了第1條、明天李四又觸犯了第3條等等。嘛意思？難道真有什麼條例規章嗎？當俺收到第3個這樣的email時，終於忍不住仔細看了一下email。哈，email里有一個link，言曰甜點條例。打開一看，讓俺樂的不亦樂乎，呵呵，現在俺是明白美國的大胖子都是怎樣吃出來的了。
附《甜點條例》全文如下（大家也可以看原文）。
甜圈，名詞，一種油炸蛋糕，狀似小圓環。閒話少說，這裡，我們可以把這個詞廣義化。這裡的甜圈我們可以理解為廣義的甜點，比如蛋糕、餅乾、巧克力糕、甜餅、雞腿、冰激凌等不限。務請不要考慮你的腰條。當然，你也可以帶蔬菜和水果，但請附加一些能發胖的食品，或者正常定義的甜點（比如胡蘿蔔蛋糕、草莓奶酪蛋糕、檸檬方糕，等等）。可以是自做或者是店裡買的甜點，只要美味合口。
如果你有如下事件，那你就應該給大家提供甜點了。
