Another Sunday at the office. With long hours and high stress one can get a little hungry. Working for a film festival does have its perks, mainly some free popcorn. I went to the microwave and set the time for 3:45. After many years of perfecting microwave popcorn I have found this to be the perfect time. The package always says 2 to 5 minutes, thats such a huge differential, but 3:45 always does the trick.
I set the microwave to my trusty time and walked away, answered some emails and a few minutes later walked out into the hallway. BAM! There was smoke everyone, as I ran to the microwave, smoke was blowing out of the bag like a middle school science fair volcano. My eyes watered with the burnt butter popcorn smokiness. I ran like a kid in trouble to my boss terrified that I was responsible for burning down the DCJCC.
Luckily, the alarm didn’t ring and the sprinklers didn’t go off. Nonetheless, when I show up to work tomorrow I will have to answer for that awful smell…
this is like the same thing kanika did when she broke the microwave at her office! sorry to out you kanika! pretty funny though
