Do yourself a favor and purchase a toaster oven instead. Cheaper, more efficient, easier to clean, and better tasting results.
Not to mention healthier...
How precisely is a toaster oven healthier than a toaster for making toast and bagels?

Well, let's see, with a toaster oven you can put more on the toast or bagels, such as cheese, which makes it less healthy.

:evil: My usual cube was taken tonight, so I'm sitting in a completely different part of the building. The guy to the left of me stinks so bad that I can smell his b.o. from the other side of this wall. There's somebody on the other side of the wall chewing a pen cap or something and making weird noises. Some dude just sat down in the cube behind me with a big pile of food and is chewing with his mouth open. He's breathing heavily through his nose and smacking his lips together constantly while inhaling his food. This is killing me...

EDIT: He just came back with seconds...

:D Was having a fantastic night before I got to work.

:D Last day of work this week.

:? Just found out my review is coming up soon. I'm worried about my position, although I shouldn't be. We have a Stats system, and there are people that have been here longer than me that are WAY bellow my current ranking. I'm always worrying about losing this job though. I felt much more secure at my last job...

That reminds me of a story I've probably already shared, but it wouldn't hurt to tell it again.

A few years ago I was on a flight to Chicago to attend a huge seminar on e-commerce. The lady sitting next to me on the plane took out a small box after we took off. In said box was the smelliest salad my nose has had the displeasure of smelling. Think of a mix of gym socks and feta cheese.

I said with a kind smile "That certainly is pungent". Her response was that it did have quite an odor, but it tasted great. At this time the entire plane reeked of stinky foot-salad smell. I politely responded "I'm sure the salad tastes great, but everyone on the plane can smell it and only you can taste it". If I remember correctly her response was "what do I care?" complete with a roll of her eyes.

So I stood up and farted.



Frown: The AC isn't pumping out cool air on the second and third floors of my home.

Smile: Our heat/AC guy is Johnny on the spot. Should be able to swing by during lunch and have it fixed...should...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

This guy just cracked open a can of soda and begun SLURPING it down with huge over exaggerated GULPS. Makes me seriously wonder if he's doing this to be annoying, or does he actually eat/drink like that. Dude was talking with his mouth full too.

Luckily, smelly body odor guy left shortly after I posted.

Ticked - had a bad night last night and found out this morning my wifes usual Thursday night time out with the girls, will be at my house tonight. So my usual gaming online with college buddies is in jeopardy. Atleast she told me before I left for work so I could pack something, since I will have to cook for more than just me tonight I have to eat in at work because of the budget. Its not a huge deal, just caught me off guard.

Nope, you're playing. I installed Killing Floor this morning. If they complain, they have to sit in your place for a round, and Xen and I WILL be teamkilling.
