Lunch: A tragedy in three acts

[offbalance]

Act I: Delay!

"Despite it being lunchtime, could you please handle something we've A.known about for awhile and B. Probably have all the info we need for anyway? It'll take you about half an hour of hand holding and spoon-feeding. THANKS!"

[task finished. lunch acquired.]

Act II: Disaster!

Coworker: Um, your soup just made a pop noise in the microwave.
Me: Oh, it was probably nothing!
[runs to find that the contents of her soup bowl has exploded over the ENTIRE microwave, despite being lightly covered!]
Me: @#$%^*&#$!!!
Coworker: Oh, no! Is that your whole lunch?
Me: No. I have extra soup. It was supposed to be applied to another lunch, but oh well. It's for today's sandwich, I guess.

Act III: Digestion!
I eat my soup, it is good. I eat my sandwich. It is also good. I bite into my apple. The inside of the apple is rotten. I shake my head, wrap it in a napkin, and throw it away.

I'm no stranger to the "Your soup just exploded in the microwave" warning from coworkers, but thankfully it's always been a false alarm. *knock knock knock*
