microwaving nightmare
I really hate the microwave at work. It’s not actually the company’s but something supplied by building management as the kitchen we use is a “shared” kitchen for other offices around us.
I think in it’s hey day there were probably 6 small companies on our floor but these days, there’s only 2 and the other 4 are left empty. The reason is sometime in August, they’re going to either knock down the building or doing some major refurb. So all of our leases basically end pretty much around then. Most tenants have left already because there’s no option to renew…
Regardless, we’re currently still here until we can find somewhere in the city to finally call home. I won’t be around then when the decision is made nor do I care.
But in the meantime whilst I’m still here until my last day- May 15th, I have to deal with the crappy thing that we call the “microwave”.
It’s relatively archaic because it’s got minimal buttons and limited options. To make matters worse it doesn’t even spin. It’s actually NOT that old where the technology doesn’t exist, it did… however due it’s age, the spinning function died just as I started working there.
It also doesn’t heat very well- when my soup packet says “2mins”- it means 6 minutes with this microwave. So you can imagine my frustration when I had to heat something that needed 5minutes to heat through? It took me forever and a day…
Re-heating my leftover lunch is always problematic because I never know how long to put it for.
I already have trouble working out microwaves as it is- mostly because I end up nuking my food because it’s been in for too long. but this microwave is beyond a joke.
I will not be missing this machine once I leave. I just have a week and a bit before I can say goodbye
