Darn Microwave at Work

If you’re not aware, I’m currently on my Lenten no-pop kick, which could just as aptly be described as my Lenten drink-a-ton-of-tea kick. No big deal, it’s a yearly occurrence. The problem this year is I’m making a lot of that tea at work. We have a microwave in the lab, but the problem is the RPMs of the turntable in the microwave don’t jive well with my preferred tea-heating time. It turns out that my 3 minute warming time leads to almost exactly xx.5 revolutions, where xx is some number I don’t know. “Why is the a problem?” you may ask. Because I insert the mug with the handle facing the door, and when I go to take it out, the handle is facing the back of the microwave. Every time. Very annoying.

    So why don’t you just insert the mug (while the mug is still cool enough) with the handle away from the door so when you go to take it out, the handle will face you and you won’t burn your hand which is more than likely the reason you posted this comment, because on multiple occasions, I imagine, you have burned yourself…go on…fess up…you burned yourself…didn’t you?…

    morlok,
    our theory about you becoming more and more stupid, down to the level of a normal human, seems to have been upheld. in fact, now i think we can start a new theory that you are dumber than most humans. wow! what a fall from a contending stop to the bottom of the heap. must be all the ddr’ing!

    This is actually my doing. Just keep berating him, and slowly he devolves.

    Coming from the man who’s blog entries included “I hate school”, with the content of the entry containing roughly the same quality of information.

    Besides, there’s a difference between actually thinking you’re a blogger and just trying out wordpress to learn its plugin structure. You are the first, I was the latter.

    Or is it?

    I remember back when it all started - when that first swear word was uttered back in Michna’s class. It was downhill for the second brain from then on

    You know you love reading my blog. Otherwise you wouldn’t check it 20 times daily.

    Dude, you don’t like coffee.

    No no - I love making annoying comments. I still think the whole idea of blogging is a generally stupid one.
