Unstructured Thoughts - What Are You Thinking Now?

Well, I put the stronger-than-a-nuclear bomb lentil soup in frozen containers last night and had about two cups left in the pot. I decided to bring it into work for lunch today and use it to my advantage.

I had to run downtown to get some bread to go with the minestrone soup that has been mingling flavors all night in the fridge. It's the best bread, ever. The bread was still warm, the wooden floors of the bakery are still creaky. I was just mad I didn't have enough money for a cupcake as well.

My boss is muttering to himself in the kitchen because no one has cleaned the coffee maker in three weeks and it's now jammed up. Funny thing how folks want their coffee but always expect someone else to maintain the equipment. He's just spent the last 45 minutes of his valuable time tearing it apart to un-jam the grinder motor.

I wisely stay out of the office coffee politics and brought in a one cup coffee maker for my personal use, which I take care of myself.

We had a guy in our office who would go in to the communal fridge & eat your lunch. He was reprimanded several times..he didn't care.

I voluntarily take care of the kitchens at work at the end of every day - it's amazing how messy a lot of people can be. I also clean out the refrigerators every two months and discard old food and science experiments. I do this because the last place we had before moving into this building had mold that was so bad that it would not wipe off the insides of the frig. I don't want that happening in this office. That's just damn nasy. And, yes, we do have a few merauders that help them to other people's lunches.

Dear women who work around me. Please remember that cologne is for dabbing and spritzing. NOT for bathing or applying with a fire hose. Thank you.

Thanks all for the virtual hugs - feeling better now.

Many years ago a guy I worked for told me about a former laboratory co-worker who was notorious for getting into the company refrigerator during the night shift and helping himself to other people's food. My boss, good chemist that he was, got some phenolphthalein (which used to be the active ingredient in laxatives before being phased out due to concerns about carcinogenicity), sprinkled it on a plate of peanut brittle, then left it in the fridge at the end of the day. Shortly after that, there were no more incidents of food being swiped.

I do not recommend anyone try that, for obvious reasons. I'm just tellin' the story

That sucks. Although I instantly thought of a container with your name on the that was filled with ex-lax brownies I could see where sue happy Americans would come after you for poisoning them with YOUR food.
