Microwave blues.

The weekend after Thanksgiving the microwave in our store's break room died. It can still tell time but if you start it the internal light turns on and time counts down but nothing else happens.
All of us are annoyed and hoping we get the new one soon (our SM opted to order it rather then buy one with her money and then have the store pay her back). I want my <my store exclusive brand> teriyaki chicken wings! And popcorn! Lol.
We got a truck today. No microwave. We get another one tomorrow.... Will the microwave be on that shipment? Stay tuned.

Well, be thankful. The one at Kinko's refused to die and I'm fairly certain that the thing was creating dark matter every time anyone hit the "cook" button.

If it had died, it would have been replaced, but nooo. It hung on like Grim Death.

Our old one died, the one with the digital timer & start/cancel buttons... We have one with a manual rotary dial & no buttons at all now, meaning it starts as soon as you turn the dial, and I live in fear of the day the door gets knocked shut & it tries to cook empty air for the 10+ minutes that's been left on by the last person to use it. My cow-irkers seem incapable of calculating which of the graduated units around the edge marks the amount of time required to heat their crap, so they just turn it on to the maximum time then leave the door open when they've finished to stop it completing the countdown!

I love how it says "The wait is over" on the box.

I know! My coworker pointed that out and we had a good chuckle.

I love the boxes from Newegg. One I received reads, "May contain awesome." Several coworkers got a chuckle from that.

That was my profile picture on Facebook for a few days recently.

Lucky you. I still can't convince the senior management to replace the two microwaves we have; the turn tables don't work and people forget this when they make popcorn. I have to go down to the 2nd floor and use theirs.
