1) Earlier this week at approximately 12:15, I walked over to the office microwave to heat up some leftover pasta. One of my coworkers (I use that term liberally because she rarely does actual work) was heating something for lunch. I decided to sit by the window and wait my turn. As the rumbles in my stomach got a little louder, I looked at the time on the microwave and noticed that it had over 9 minutes left. You might wonder what gets cooked in an office microwave--or any microwave--for that long. This woman was cooking a homemade, raw hamburger patty. I kid you not. She had the bun, the patty, and the cheese to melt on top. When she pulled the cooked mess out of the microwave, it was gray.

2) This is the glory that is two cubicles away from me. For a little fun, see if you can find the aforementioned hamburger.

    For more fun, find the following items:
    A typewriter (they don't even make those anymore)
    Eight vitamin supplements
    A bobble-head
    A birthday card stating her age ten years ago
    Five NBME dundee medallions
    Did I mention a hamburger?

    Nice clean work space. . . but she doesn't even hold a candle to Shawn's office. Seriously I should take pictures and show you. He has at least 10 computers in various stages of disassemble scattered around the room. And you should see the floor!

    What is up with a 15-minute hamburger? It would taste like mealworms (the adjective was from Shawn- and he agrees with me about his office).
