开始新的工作已经两周，虽然是在同一家公司，还是IT，但毕竟是在一个以前没有工作过的部门，感觉很多事情要学，也很新鲜。本文愿意跟大家分享一下新部门的最大不同之处。
欢迎我来新部门上班的是一个很特别的email，在我应该开始新工作的前两天，收到了一个DRB送的email。Email是这样开始的，“百草，你好！欢迎你加入我们的部门！DRB（Donut Review Board – 甜点监督协会）发现你已经违反我们甜点条例的第6条，务请在一周内给大家带来甜点。DRB的敦促是没商量地，你可以认为这是最终警告。”
妈呀，人还没到，就让人给盯上了！email还发给全部门，啥意思？不就是大家监督你带甜点吗，还说什么第6条，俺给上供甜点还不行吗！
一上班就发现，几乎每天都收到这个DRB的email，今天张三违反了第1条、明天李四又触犯了第3条等等。嘛意思？难道真有什么条例规章吗？当俺收到第3个这样的email时，终于忍不住仔细看了一下email。哈，email里有一个link，言曰甜点条例。打开一看，让俺乐的不亦乐乎，呵呵，现在俺是明白美国的大胖子都是怎样吃出来的了。
附《甜点条例》全文如下（大家也可以看原文）。
甜圈，名词，一种油炸蛋糕，状似小圆环。闲话少说，这里，我们可以把这个词广义化。这里的甜圈我们可以理解为广义的甜点，比如蛋糕、饼干、巧克力糕、甜饼、鸡腿、冰激凌等不限。务请不要考虑你的腰条。当然，你也可以带蔬菜和水果，但请附加一些能发胖的食品，或者正常定义的甜点（比如胡萝卜蛋糕、草莓奶酪蛋糕、柠檬方糕，等等）。可以是自做或者是店里买的甜点，只要美味合口。
如果你有如下事件，那你就应该给大家提供甜点了。
