They really should note such things...

The bowls in the cafeteria?

Not microwave safe.

Heated up a bowl of noodles and broth, and the &*(%$$@ thing melted and sagged in the microwave, spilling half the liquid. Lovely.

Very true - and there's basically squat all to eat around here. The closest is a Wendy's five minutes away, and there's an overpriced diner across the street from that, both of which you need to drive to. So really, there's no where else to go here for food.

The cook here started about 6 months ago, apparently, and is universally reviled by the employees, as far as I can tell. I hear they had an *incredible* cook before that, who then left to start her own restaurant, naturally. But this guy? He knows about a dozen dishes, none of them done well, but all of them repeated. Nothing has flavor, or if it does, it's not good. Textures are universally mush. Yesterday I got a *splinter* in my *gum*... from steamed broccoli. No, it wasn't wood, it was the broccoli, that's how low grade the ingredients are.

I'm bringing more food from home now. Incentive (other than health and comfort): I was spending about $8-11 a day on coffee and food. I pegged the avg at about $10. Every day I spend less than that, I take the balance and apply it to the Wii Fund. :)

Yeah, I should note that the high staff turnover will stop at the point that they're completely staffed with people who're so bad they can't get a better job elsewhere. Sounds like you may have hit that point.

I like the idea of a Wii fund. Sadly, it will have to get in line behind the "both our computers need replacing if we want to play Neverwinter Nights 2" fund and the "M. keeps having transmission problems in the Exploder" fund, which latter has gotten so bad that we may find ourselves at a car dealership this Saturday, never mind that we're about to leave for France.

Oh, and the ever-present "build the damn house. Someday. Please?" fund.

*Presses brow with back of hand* Oh, my life is so terrible... :)

Heh.

Yeah, we have two laptops that need replacing. Oops.
