I am the only person in the office who will do the refrigerator even though I seldom use it. I usually send an email to everyone, oh, once a month, to let them know that at a certain time, day etc. I will be getting rid of all the science experiments, containers and all. They wait until I begin, to claim their pathetic food, containers, and moan and groan the entire time.

After I spend my time cleaning all the spills etc. from the fridge, I usually have a beer (there is always a beer or two in there!).......

Everyone appreciates my doing this messy job, but do they think to prevent the activity that is making it necessary for me to do this? No.

It has been this way in every office I have worked in. People, in general, are lazy, inconsiderate and just slobs when it comes to public behavior.

I never see anyone push a chair back under the table in our kitchen, or pick up newspapers, bags etc. after they are finished.

I broke my ankle in early January and have not spent any time in the office kitchen, except to get a cup of coffee. The kitchen looks horrible, but it doesn't seem to bother the goofballs I work with.

Oh well, life goes on. I guess they could be doing worse things in the kitchen. Just makes you wonder what they do at home........



Oh, we finally had a dishwasher installed about a year ago and it did help with the dirty dishes in the sink. Before that, we would throw out the cups etc. that were left for a few days. People complained, but hey, they didn't really care! It was fun just tossing the cups etc. rather than washing them. It was so wasteful that I convinced the owners to spring for a dishwasher. It has helped a bit.
