microwave inaugural

While I was gone this weekend, Joshua bought us a microwave. Its a giant black Darth vader microwave, with a built in, slide out bread toaster on the side. It's classy, obviously. Its just that it takes up sooo much counter space!

In honor of the microwave, we're going to have a microwaved dinner tomorrow and what is the monster of all microwave dinners? Obviously...HUNGRYMAN. Now I've never had one before, so this will be a first. I went to the grocery store after lunch and I bought 2Hungry-Man microwave dinners, of the southern fried chicken kind. Its a classics, home cooking type of meal. Corn, Mashed Potatoes, and Fried Chicken. It even includes a brownie for the each of us!
Another thing about microwaves.... When I got back to the office, I noticed a worried co-worker had put up these notices on the freezers, warning us of microwave and dioxin dangers. It's suppose to happen when you put plastic bowls, or plastic wrap in microwaves, and nuke them- it suppose to release dioxin, which can cause cancer. These signs were only posted up in the Factory worker's fridges, not the regular staff kitchen...So I later asked one of the sales people, if she knew who had done such a thing? She guessed, the VP. Which is a bit surprising (but not really....I guess.) So now the questions is....why would he do that? Its all in English. the ladies wont read the English...Its more for the regular staff...to think that the ladies are slowly killing themselves? WTF?

Just now, I went to go pick up some clothes and someone else had put another "note" on the fridge about the first notice. It totally dispel ls the first note! and I hope that someone else puts another note up about how microwaves revolutionized the 20th century woman.I mean, we all have microwave fears....but really. Thank fucking god we have them.
