My new fridge

So, about two months ago, my boss had an idea. I will not debate here whether I think it's a good idea or a bad idea. As part of this, however, I was moved to the other side of our building, away from the office I am manager of, and all of its... um, amenities.

Ok, let's face it. I work in an agricultural and manufacturing community. The 'amenities' I speak of are a carpeted office, a microwave, and a mini-fridge. But when you bring your lunch from home, at least two of those are very important in the day-t0-day grind!

My new office --*cough*-- warehouse gives me my own bathroom (thank goodness I don't have to share with 5 guys any more!), but I was left with neither a microwave nor a mini-fridge. My boss was wise enough to pick up on my not so gentle hints that I was not happy with the move, so he got me a microwave! Yay!

However, usually the food that needs microwaving, also needs refridgerating. So I still had to walk around - yes, AROUND - our building to the other office for my lunch. This was fine, though inconvenient, a couple of months ago. Now that our temperatures are forecast in the single-digits, this is NOT fine. Thankfully though, with temperatures well below 40 F, I've finally got myself a new fridge.

Genius!

Ok, so this may be a stupid question, but why don't you get an insulated lunch bag and an ice pack?

That's a great idea, Jeramie, but where's the funny in that??

But seriously, in my experience, those lunch bags get sticky and iffy-smelling and eventually get thrown out. I'm just lazy, and this is easy. And free!
