I almost set my office on fire by sticking cookies+paper towel in the microwave and promptly forgetting about them. Apparently, gingersnaps are flammable. Who knew?Luckily (*snort* what luck?), the large billows of smoke seeping out of the microwave gave me a small hint that something was wrong.
We have yet to tell if there is damage to the microwave. And our lungs. (Hey guys, I have no Workers Comp!...Would this even qualify, since it's kinda my fault?)
Now the entire 17th floor smells like burnt cinnamon and ginger. Or, as Kristen says, "smells like booty." Key phrase is not "entire office smells" but "entire fucking 17th floor." Oh, and our windows are bolted. Otis would appreciate that.
Sad thing is I did the exact same thing yesterday in a different microwave. Sighness.
And don't think that since the fire alarms didn't go off that I'm exaggerating. It's just a ghetto-ass building with a shitty ass security/safety system (More about wandering junkie psycho's later).
*Side-note: Did anyone ever tell you that burnt ginger-snaps from Trader Joes look like pigeon turd? Cuz they do.
