No soup for me

Ok so. I just spilled my lunch before I even took a bite. Not only did I not have a lunch, but I also made a big fucking mess.
Who knew those Campbell's microwave-able bowls could hold so much tomato soup? I certainly didn't realize it until the entire contents of one was splashed on the floor and on the fridge and on the counter, and yes, even under the fridge too.
Oh and then don't you just love when you're crouched over, trying to contort yourself to squeeze in between the counter and the refrigerator to clean up tomato soup, and everyone in the whole office decides to walk into the break room? And they can't just quietly go about their business. No, there's tomato soup all over the place and there's a woman doing yoga in an attempt to clean it up. That must be commented on! Oh Shannon, what did you do? Oh no, what happened? Blah blah blah shut your face please.
I spent my whole lunch cleaning up a gallon of thick soup, most of which found its way under the heavy refrigerator which had to be moved. Luckily I had poptarts in my desk. But poptarts? When you're craving tomato soup and Ritz crackers? Really not the same.

oh man, sounds horrible. sorry your lunch spilled it guts. all i could hear the entire post is that horrible commercial: "Mmm mmm good. Pos-sib-ilit-ies".
Girl, then someone calls and bugs you about stupid signs. I wish I had something more to offer.
Another note... I found you! Yeah.
I might have been tempted to let the people on kitchen duty clean some of it up. LOL
I have Ramen noodles for back up, but I always forget they are there.
I was updating my etsy page and I was checking out yours, and I wondered what doahleigh meant - then voila. I will keep it on the down low. ROCKON.
Bummer! At least you cleaned it up and didn't slowly back ... away ... from ... the ... break ... room ......
I like my tomato soup extra-hot with melted cheese all up in it's grill.
You are making me! crave tomato soup with Ritz crackers.
OMG, I totally know. I eat those too, and I can NEVER open them without it splattering on the counter or, even better, my shirt. You'd think they could come up with a better lid or something.
But here's the thing, at least you cleaned it up. If you were like any of the 50 people in my office - minus a handful of us considerate ones - you would've left your mess for someone else to take care of.
I would totally have been as pissed as you. More maybe.
OK, yesterday a coworker of mine opened his Dr. Pepper and it sprayed everywhere in the kitchen. So, for the next 20 minutes I had to listen to him (as I sit near the kitchen) explain to everyone who came in, "Watch out, my Dr. Pepper went everywhere." Them: "Oh boy, it sure did." Two minutes later, someone: "OH, what happened?" Him: "Yeah, Watch out, my pop sprayed all over everything." And. so. on.
Anyway, I thought of you. :)
