Vets, Mac and a Stinky Fridge....

Things have been busy at work this past week... (not that I write these on their time)

:: It is Veterans Day today. This is the first year that I have had a veteran husband. He got a little excited about having a holiday. I called him a lazy bum. (jokingly) He said "I am not a bum! I don't beg people for money." "Yes you do. Every Tuesday and Thursday." David's part time job is at the call center for U of H. So if you are an alum... watch out. David is a top caller, he will get your money. :)

But seriously. I am proud of our armed forces doing jobs I could never do, believing in something and being willing to stake their life on it. Thanks all you vets out there.

:: Out of order but I think I should tell the stinky fridge story. It is no secret that I am the lowest rung on the to tum pole at work right now. So I get all the jobs no one else wants to tackle. That includes reformatting spreadsheets, updating and correcting the databases, fixing copiers and cleaning out the refrigerators (we have 3).

Well for the past 3 weeks the large fridge was really stinky. I cleaned it out several times to no avail. Last Friday I was voluntold to take everything out and really just get rid of everything. So I began cleaning each shelf.

I found...

*a jar of mayo from 2005, surprising considering we haven't been in this space but for a year and a half. eewww
*a liquefied bag of salad. American mix. The liquid was pink. :(
*THE CULPRIT! a lunchbox with a Tupperware container in a plastic sack... only to be described as disgusting, putrid, brown liquid. Yeah.

:: Little elephant Mac died last night at the Houston zoo. I had the pleasure of seeing Mac when we went in October. Poor little guy was only 2 and still considered a baby. In honor of Mac, my zoo pictures.
