Dear Marie Calendar,

I've about had it with you and your frozen dinners. Ya see, I eat lunch in my office. I'm most comfortable there and I save some dough while I'm at it. I go heat my lunch up in the kitchen and then I come back and read a magazine or do some recreational online browsing. Here's where you come in. It seems like these days I waste a quarter of my lunch hour sitting in the kitchen waiting in line for the microwave. Why? Because so many of my coworkers are depending on your product for their lunch and your damn dinners take an average of 6.5 minutes to heat up! I'm sick of it, Marie. I really am. Can you make your frozen food less dense? The portions a little smaller maybe? I'll be the first to admit, I don't know what the answer is. I do know that something needs to be done. All I am asking from you is an acknowledgement of responsibility and a good faith pledge to make an effort for change.

Sincerely Tired of Small Talk While Waiting Pathetically In A Microwave Line,

John

I thought your cubicle came equipped with a microwave

Cubicle? I'm in an office, son! And if I had any room for a micro, you can bet your knickers I would have one.

Exactly: If you have room for a tv, you have room for a microwave

Ah. I think Adam has a point.

If you want to eat, you gots to plan ahead.


Try a Pop Tart for lunch as an alternative. Microwave instructions? "Heat on HIGH for three seconds." I shit you not.
