Before, During and After

I love this whole series at flickr, entitled the great office fridge re-boot.

All safety precautions are taken, but honestly, what could possibly lurk in minifridge?


Oh, that...


A better view. Um, thanks. Do you s'pose that was pink *before*?


Can you believe that ALL fit in a mini fridge?

Lunch Defense Tactic

Luncheoners Beware!

Take a look at this shot of a dangerous lunch situation. Maybe *somebody's* lunch has been rifled through a few too many times??

I'm not even going to go into why that blue-lidded thing was put back into the fridge. Was that worth saving? Just couldn't finish it all?

Deep Freeze

I was looking for a good freezer shot and found this beauty taken by wetwebwork at flickr.

The thing is, this *isn't* a freezer. This is the refrigerator part. This is evident beause of the rack part under the food and the fact that people don't generally put pickles, salad or, um, yellowish stuff in the freezer. I'm guessing that there must typically be more stuff in this fridge. How? Because it would require a certain amount of pressure and support for the ice to actually grow _around_ the food and, in the case of the jar of yellowish stuff to hold the food aloft at a 45 degree angle.

Fair is Fair

I decided that it was only fair that I start out with a shot of my own personal work fridge. There are actually two refrigerators in the kitchen that is nearest me at work. When we moved to this building from another building, various areas brought their various fridges with them. We work for the state, so they won't actually buy us a refrigerator, so these were each purchased by special fundraising projects sometime before I actually worked here. As such, they are seen as very personal property. Even though they sit right next to each other, I would not DARE to put even a pop in their fridge (if they were looking).

Here are the notes on the outside. Very gentle, minimal snark. It is almost an assumption that if you are taking something out that is not yours, that almost certainly is an accident. Uh-huh. Sure.



The note in the back is from our retired "Kitchen King" who asked us to throw things away each week or else it will be trashed. The ACS thing is somewhat amusing to some folks around here (read, somebody thought it was funny once and it got stuck) because we write policies called ASC. Bah-Dum-Bump. Here's a Kleenex, I know you can hardly contain yourself.



The inside is barely even interesting...or so it seems. Historically the fridge has been cleaned once a month and there was a sign-up on the door. The list is gone and nobody seems to be putting up a new one. I know it's been a few months now. I imagine that at some point in December people will want to have more space and it will get cleaned out for the first time in months. I wonder if that cream cheese on the left right there will still be around? More pictures then...

Welcome to Fridge Food

You step warily into the kitchen (or is it a kitchenette) at work, knowing you are going to have to face it -- the work fridge. What passive-aggressive note will be tacked to it today? What green and furry thing will be nestled up against your yogurt? Now you have an opportunity to share the horror within and the snark without. Take a picture of your work fridge and submit it to Work Fridge.
