This morning I went to put my yogurt and granola in the fridge and there was practically no where for it to go.
Why? Because my fellow co-workers leave their nasty two or three week old take out containers and tupperware dishes in there for an eternity! I'm serious. There is a bag of salad that has been in there for so long, the lettuce has turned to water. I don't even want to guess what is in half of the containers. Remember I work with several mexicans... they don't eat alot of the stuff we eat. I know Jose had barbequed pigs feet in there, but I don't know if he ate all of them or if there are any leftovers in there. I'm not going to search, that's for sure.
What's worse is that my boss is the main one to blame. He ate chinese with his friend on July 13, and brought his left overs back. That box is still in there with his initials and the date.
Speaking of my boss, he thinks the office fridge is completely his alone. He has 3, let me repeat that again, 3, 12 packs of soda in there. All different brands. He is taking up all the room. Why can't he stack them by his desk and put in a few at a time? No, he needs all 36 cold at the same time. Oh, all have his initials, SS.
He started writing his initials on his stuff when he couldn't find his yogurt he was certain he had in there. He first looked at me like I had scarfed it down, but I had to point out that I eat the "light" yogurt with the blue lid and he eats the kind with the red lid. So now, upon returning from the grocery store with 4 or 5 bags, he gets out his marks-a-lot and writes SS all over everything.
I taped a note on the fridge this morning asking everyone to either clean out their things or throw them away. We'll see how that goes.
I know what they are thinking. Since I'm mainly the only person in the office all day I should clean it out. Well, it ain't happening. Not by me. I do plenty of that at home and I have nothing in the fridge but a bottle of water, 1 yogurt and a baggie of granola.
Do we work in the same office?
The same thing happens here. I periodically throw things away. Two days ago, I threw out some sour cream with a November 2005 expiration date.
I say, go to town. Toss it all!!
