The case of the missing microwaves


When I started my graduate program at Utah State, I also started having lunch on campus once or twice a week with Chod and Tameka. We would meet in the Hub and have our lunch without incident. There were two microwaves available for our use.

In addition, most of my classes are held in the business building, and some of them are late afternoon/early evening classes. But there was a microwave in the basement of the business building that was available to use as well.

Fast forward to the beginning of this semester. The business building had been renovated and, lo and behold, all of a sudden there is no microwave in the basement anymore. Not only that, but at the start of the semester, all of a sudden there was only one microwave in the Hub instead of two.

What that meant to meant was waiting longer to heat up lunch in the Hub, and having to trek over to the AgScience building in the evenings to heat up dinner.

Then, as of a couple of weeks ago, the last microwave in the Hub vanished away without warning. I sense a conspiracy.

So now it's just too annoying to bring anything that needs to be heated up at all. From now on it's peanut butter sandwiches for lunch and dinner whenever I am on campus.

Whoever thought my life could get this rough.

Do Horatio and Grissam do missing microwaves?

You should have them look into it.

That is what Scott said too last week. HE usually brings his own lunch and loves the microwaves esp when it is cold because nothing like hot soup on a cold day. Now he is really upset about the missing microwaves too. I think it is the food court manager that wants to make a bigger profit!
