This past weekend, a bunch of changes were implemented that required some people in our office to come in, for an hour or so. That hour turned into several with the usual SNAFU's...
That Friday, I had brought in a pound of roast beef, a pound of cheese, and a jar of mayo, to make some lunch sammiches for the coming week - about $10 in food.
Monday morning, I bring in some bread, and low and behold.. the meat, cheese, and mayo, wrapped tightly in a grocery bag and "hidden" in the fridge - gone. I was PISSED. REALLY pissed. the door to the fridge is dented pissed.
So, a guy in my dept and I went in halves on a $30 dorm-sized fridge. I bring it in this morning, and the same people who I talked to about my food disappearing and really didn't care, NOW have a HUGE issue with the fridge being in my area...
her (talking loud enough for damn near every person on the floor to hear for no reason): "I don't think you can have that... they draw too much power"
me: "Ummm, it draws 85 watts, less than the desk lamp YOU have on your desk"
her: "Well, um, I heard the um, security guy complaining about it"
me: "If he has a problem with it, send him my way"
With that, she walked away.
Fawking people.. When someone takes care of a problem, they just can't leave well enough alone.. I've since moved it out of my cube, and slid it between 2 cabinets. It's currently disguised with company propaganda, and I might just spray paint it the color of the other furniture around here..
Funny thing is, I've had a little thermoelectric cooler sitting in my cube for the last month... and 2 others in this area have 1200 watt space heaters..
Ignorance is bliss...
