The microwave in our office runs on the same circuit as several of our computers, printers and air conditioning unit, so when the power drain is too much, it’ll pop the circuit breaker. Using the microwave is a little like playing Russian roulette. The bag of popcorn you wanted for an afternoon snack might turn into a real productivity killer when it shuts down a half dozen computers while everyone is working.
Rachel (one of our sales reps) JUST walked into our office with a Hot Pocket on a plate, and asked, “Does the microwave only blow the power when we do popcorn?”
We laugh, sure she is joking, and Scott replies, “Yeah, it can tell the difference - ha ha.”
She heads back to the microwave, and it occurs to me. I don’t think she was joking.
“Scott, was she joking?”
“I don’t think so”
bwwwaaaahahahahaha.
After hearing the laughter she heads back to our office with the “What’s so damn funny look” on her face that we love so much.
Embarrassed, she admits, “I thought you were telling the truth about the microwave being able to tell the difference.”
BWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I’m SOOOOO glad we don’t sell microwaves.
