I am a regulator. I will not allow my friends or colleagues in the field I work in to buy me lunch or a drink.

If I am speaking at an event that serves lunch, I will often stay for lunch, not because I love crappy rubber chicken, but because I am "showing the flag" as part of our outreach.

I was a contractor at HHS and got yelled at by the head of the water club for drinking their water. Ethics has an absolute cow when we’re going to an event that has food (even though, culturally, Natives have food at basically every event). I buy my own pens and notebooks. We don’t get nice things.
