Engineering Dept just put Grapes in the Microwave

Tweeting about it was the obvious thing to do

Let me set the scene: It was about 2:30 PM, I needed to stretch my legs and get some water. As I entered the kitchen at work, I saw the Engineers clustered around the microwave, some of them with their faces mere inches from the glass. At this point, I had no idea what they were up to, but one thing was painfully obvious.

It’s been about 6 weeks since I’ve had to make a $20 donation to Vanguard on behalf of my sanity at work. It was a good run. But we all know, good things come to an end.

Thankfully there is still a voice of reason out there.

But there are others who knew exactly what the Engineers were doing. This seemed alarming to me.

Google and YouTube confirmed it. And this is how we learn.

Still seems like a bad idea. Like the time they put a lightbulb in the microwave…
