THE DISHES
Our new office doesn't have a dishwasher. As you can imagine, this brings out the worst in people.
The first week we moved in, I noticed a pileup. With good spirit, I dug in and cleaned the dishes, chalking it up to people being too exhausted from the move to do their dishes.
The second week, another pileup. I did these begrudgingly and made an announcement in the Tuesday meeting that retribution would be swift and severe for all dirty dish leavers.
The third week. Another pileup. It defied logic. I ignored them. We all did. I came in on Tuesday and somehow, the dishes had moved to the other sink. All still dirty - just moved positions. Why? How? It stayed this way for a week. And today, they had moved back to the original sink.
For cakeplow, Jared and I took one for the team. But this is my last dirty dish. I'm not kidding.

i'd rather do the dishes than clean out the fridge again.
One word: really old eggs
