Last night on "Chuck" (NBC, check local listings) Morgan was blind folded and tasting foods from the company refrigerator. It was a game that reminded me of Mike.
Ah, good times.
Before Mike left, we used to play a game similar at work called, "How long has this been in the fridge?" Actually, it was less of a game and more of Mike being half starved at the end of the day and me watching him eat things we had no idea how long had been in the fridge.
People at work have no desire to throw things away or clean up after themselves. So, nearing dinner time for all us who rise before dawn, Mike would become brave and open the fridge. Holding up a large bowl, he'd ask me, "How long has this been here.....*sniff*.....Smells alright...."
"Mike, I wouldn't eat that. Amanda brought it for her lunch on Monday." I'd recite very late in the afternoon on a Friday.
*sniff* "Smells alright," Mike would say as he tossed it into the microwave (which smells like burritos ALL the time for some reason; no-no on reheating your coffee).
So we made a game out of seeing what Mike would eat and how often he might get food poisoning.
Ah, good times.
Those are over as Mike has since left the company. Now, we simply deal--or rather, not deal--with those who spill soda and food and blindly ignore it. This morning I opened the refrigerator to place some sodas inside and I swear the thing growled at me.
I think it said, "Zuel," but I can't be for certain.
One thing is for certain....I deal with poo-poo stains and cat vomit all day, so someone else can clean up Zuel's mess in the fridge.
"These readings are incredible! How long HAS this leftover Hamburger Helper been in the fridge, anyway??"

If you find something old in the company fridge, just take it and put it into the lunchbag of someone you don't like. They'll assume their spouse packed it (if it's a guy) and will dispose of it properly.
Plus, you'll most likely get to see the person flee for the bathroom as explosive diarrhea ensues.
Two birds. One stone.
Oh my, that's a wonderful idea!!! Perhaps I'll begin to pour sticky soda down the purses of those who spill and don't bother to clean it up.
That'll learn 'em!
