It's official - we have a Breakroom Gremlin

[madbaker]

Not the kind that goes vroom-vroom, silly. This kind.
You may scoff, but let's consider the evidence of the last month:
 1) The always-being-repaired coffee maker.
 2) The possessed microwave.
(Really. You put in your food, start the timer. The timer counts down to zero, beeps... and the microwave continues to function. You open the door, and the microwave continues to function.)

Good thing our second story isn't 20,000 feet high.

In other news, somewhat against my better judgment I signed up for the annual department potluck. I said I'd make a pecan pie. Yes, these are the cow-orkers who were responsible for last year's Tarte Tatin debacle.

We just replaced our microwave at home because it was possessed. On ours, the timer would hit zero, and the microwave would shut off. But when you opened the door, THE MICROWAVE WOULD START RUNNING AGAIN.

Talk about freaky.

Eet ees baby-talk Fronch for "auntie", but in this case refers to the Tatin sisters (http://members.cox.net/jjschnebel/tartetatin.html) who supposedly invented the recipe.

Would you be willing to send the recipe along? It sounds like just the thing for some events here... Probably will be same results, but will make me feel -- artistic? ;-)

Are you sure you want to go all that work. I know that pie is very easy to make but I think the cows would be happy w/a plate of twinkes!!!
