Drumroll please... "frig" rules are here!!!!!

These are golden. I can guarantee my department does not care about this as much as say the self appointed "frig" Nazi.

I can say that "frig" lady obvi did enough complaining to the "frig" delivery company and they came at 11:30 (not 12:30 as stated in the previous email) and when I walked by the break room there were three women in there "ooo-ing" and "awww-ing" over the new "frig". It's the little things in life right?

Feel free to snatch these up and implement at your office.

My thoughts or how I would have written the rules will be in this burnt orange color in parenthesis.


Based on feedback received from numerous people in the building, these are the rules we have come up with for the refrigerator: (weird, I wasn't consulted, I'm hurt)

1) Please only bring what you plan to consume that same day, to help avoid over-crowding. (What if I PLANNED on eating the entire tub of lunchmeat, but ended up not doing so?)
2) Please do not use plastic grocery bags to hold your lunch, as they can block the airflow, making it hard for the refrigerator to breathe and keep air circulating. (How I would have written it: Hey you Earth haters, ask for PAPER not plastic at the store and don't bring your Earth destroying bags to work. The "frig" hates them.)
3) Label your lunch with your name. (Sharpies in the drawer) (So when I don't like someone and I see their labeled lunch, I can snatch it without wondering if it really was said disliked person... AWESOME!)
4) When making room for your lunch, take care not to smash a co-worker’s lunch. (Again another reason to not mark your food if you're disliked... but if you're loved, people might think twice before slamming their wonder bread on top of yours)
5) Do not leave food uncovered. If your container leaks, please clean spills immediately. (So what you're saying "frig" Nazi is that even though your emails are very mom-like, you're not my mom and won't clean the "frig" for me? DANGIT!)
6) Leave bottles and containers of condiments at home. The door would best be used to store lunches, giving more room for all. (Referring back to rule one... what I PLANNED on eating that ENTIRE bottle of mustard? Well if I didn't do it today, I'll for sure do it tomorrow... maybe...)
7) Do not eat or drink foods that do not belong to you. Although the fridge may remind you of the buffet you have at home, please help avoid the emotional scars caused by lunch theft. (How I would have written it: Don't mess with other people's food or they'll mess with your face!)
8) When having office parties, please do not store leftovers in the fridge. (Perhaps bring a cooler?) Please take these items home at the same day. (How I would have written it: To cut down on the overweight problem here, no more office parties involving enough food to have leftovers will be allowed.)


We will start a rotating schedule by department, to clean out the fridge on Fridays, and everything not consumed or removed by 3:00pm Friday afternoons will be discarded. (I'd love to see this actually enforced without pissing someone off... can't wait for those emails!)

We believe that if these rules are followed we can all enjoy the benefit of the office refrigerator once again. (Again, who's "we"? I wasn't consultant and so what if I don't agree?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Friday @3:00pm- Rotating Dept. Cleaning schedule:

1st Friday of the month- SFS/Financial Aid/VP for Finance
2nd Friday of the month- Admissions (Yeah right, we won't care that much...)
3rd Friday of the month- SFS/Financial Aid/VP for Finance
4th Friday of the month- Accounting

Reasoning behind grouping: In consideration of group size in the cleaning schedule, since the SFS/Fin Aid/VP for Finance group accounts for almost half the population of the building, we decided to assign this group for two Fridays a month. Breaking the groups up any other way did not provide equity in numbers. (Because we would all bitch if we had to clean the "frig" more often than another department...)


Department Directors: Please help determine and coordinate who from your department will clean the frig each time. :o) (Don't even think about it Eric)

Thanks,
XXXX


So I'd I'm not this woman and I'd love to see how long this is enforced and how many more amazing emails I'll get regarding this "frig".


Until next time...

  1. There's something troubling about the word "frig"

    I think it's supposed to be "fridge"

    If memory serves, "frig" is something you suggest someone else do to themselves when they leave notes such as this one on the fridge.
