April 2008


Well, since i am a dork, I found a free online flash player version of Guitar Hero. It only has 3 songs, and they are pre-rated easy medium or hard, but its pretty much all still there. All 5 fret buttons, the strumming, the star power. I have to say, its more than a little timewaster.

P.S., its even better if you hold the keyboard in the air all Frets on Fire like.

So, its late night here at the office, I’m famished, and I’m not sure if my key works to get back in this late at night. I was planning on being here for a few more hours. Suddenly, I remembered that I needn’t worry, I had a Lean Cuisine in the freezer. I went off to the bathroom with my mouth anticipating what will come in 3:30 to 4:30 minutes. I go to the freezer… and it’s gone. The Chicken Club Panini I had put in there few weeks ago is gone. Now, I wouldn’t normally bring this up, especially thru email, but I feel that this is odd considering a few things…

1. There is NEVER anything in the freezer. You would think that it would not be hard to remember if you were the one that placed an item in there in the first place.

2. There are only 10 people in the office. Its not like we cant keep track of the positions of items in the refrigerator. I personally know that everything I keep in the fridge area stays on the extreme upper left hand side. I know what I put in there, when I put it in, and exactly where it is. More importantly, I know what I did NOT put in there.

3. And the biggest thing: This has happened before. To me. With the exact same item in the exact same place.

At the beginning of last week, I had 3 Lean Cuisine meals sitting in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator. A Beef Stroganoff dinner and 2x Panini sandwiches. Thursday, I went to have one for lunch, and I found that there was only 2 boxes left. The Panini sandwiches. At least they left me with the 2 I liked. I had one Panini and left the other for later. I brushed it off as a simple mistake, but I should have known better.

Because sometime today, the Lean Cuisine Bandit had struck again.

Then again, it could just be a simple mistake. Maybe after going to the fridge of Old Mother Hubbard and seeing it bare (save for those poor lonely Lean Cuisines huddled up in a corner) day after day, they figured that no one was ever going to come and claim them for lunch. Maybe they thought that it was a communal item, like pastries placed out for all on the kitchen counter, or ketchup. Maybe they honestly believed that they had placed said foodstuffs into the freezer themselves, and it truly was theirs. I don’t know.

All I do know, is it’s past 11pm, I’m still here at work, and I’m hungry.
