Food Freak Outs

Yesterday I microwaved my lunch at work and when I took it out of the microwave the container bumped the edge of the counter. This doesn't sound like a big deal, except that the force of it threw my lunch all over the floor. I ended up going to McDonald's for lunch and crying a little bit because I was so angry (about lots of things actually, not just the lunch, though that was the catalyst for the tears) but I got fed so it wasn't a big deal. Then this morning I put some oatmeal in the microwave and it swelled up, causing it to pour over the edge of the cup and all over the microwave turning plate. I stood there and looked at it for a minute before I just pulled the plate out of the microwave and scraped the oatmeal back in the cup. I microwaved it for another minute and monitored for spillage this time but I was not about to let the microwave beat me two days in a row. I also was not about to pay for a new breakfast when I had a breakfast already in front of me.
