Microwave Mess In A Can! How Convienent!

I'm coming off of my brief haitus from blogging to bitch about Campbell's "Soup At Hand" product.

This item is basically soup in a microwaveable cup that you just "heat and sip". Well folks, it's just not that easy.

If you read the label, you'll find the very small warning "Uneven microwave heating may cause popping, movement of the cup and/or splattering". How about plain ol fuckin' tipping over on its side and flooding every crevas of inside your microwave with impossible to clean soup?

I had heated one of these once before, and the instant I noticed it was "popping" (read: literally bouncing up into the air an inch), I stopped the microwave and decided to drink luke warm soup instead of running the risk of losing it.

Today, I somehow forgot to keep a mean eye on this and sure enough, came back to it on it's side an my office's microwave flooded in "Chicken with Mini Noodles". Awesome. After spending an embarassing 10 minutes wiping out our microwave with approximately 20 brown papertowels, I got to enjoy the tepid 1/5 remaining contents of the can. Mmm mmm that was worth $1.50.

What I don't understand is that Campbell's is already aware of this problem. They never would have put the "popping" warning on the side had they not been aware of it. And yet they continue to make the container in the shape of an hour glass with the bottom slightly smaller than the top.

If they had any sense, they'd shape it more like a beaker (or a spill proof coffee mug) or at least with a flared bottom.

Instead, they got their $1.50, my co-workers got a messy ass microwave, and I got nothing but hunger.

Thanks Campbell's!

Dear All Human Resource Recruiters Everywhere (except that one woman in West Seattle),

You need to get off your goddamn high horse in that giant ass ivory tower your in.

Just because they say you're the "gatekeeper" of the business doesn't mean you can put your own personal slant on who you should hire. That's not your fucking job. Your job is to support the needs of the HIRING MANAGER.

Go fuck yourselves and die.

All my love,

I should say London to see the Queen, but I've actually been burning up 10 hour days at work getting my ass kicked by my multitude of bosses.


Livin' the dream right?

Once Again, I Scream Bullshit Sandwiches

Once again, the justice system has miscarried all over the floor, and the table, and the chairs, and the walls, and the...you know what...we'll just need a few mops.

I could go into how this court case got messed up, or how we're freeing a couple who is guilty as all shit...but I'm not going to. Amanda Knox did that shit, and once again, a murderer goes scott free.

The takeaway from this, quoting a coworker "it's a good year for murdering people and getting away from it if you're a hot chick."

Yeah, I quoted it.

Had Amanda Knox been a dude, this would have been a non-issue. Or semi-ugly for that matter.

TEH FAIL.
