Refrigerator Killer at Work!

Last week I overheard some woman saying she was going to defrost the fridge at work, since it does not have auto-defrost and the freezer was a virtual iceberg. Well, I had Friday off and got an e-mail from someone at work telling me the refrigerator was dead. Apparently she did not read the warning "Do NOT defrost using a sharp object". She punctured the refrigerant lines with a screwdriver and thus released ozone-destroying Freon into the atmosphere and killed the old, olive-green fridge. Well, that's one way to get a new refrigerator. However, to make matters worse, even though she put some of the items into another fridge, she left the ice to melt everywhere. Luckily, someone came into work on Saturday and placed large, melting chunks of ice in a trash can, preventing a flood of the floor and carpet. She said she was going to replace the refrigerator, but as of today she hasn't.

Your fridge days are over now. It's time for the mini-cooler with blue ice.

Yes, it is Wednesday and the broken fridge is still there with a note that says "New refrigerator on Monday". This note is now defaced with a "?!?" after "Monday" and I admit nothing.
