A can fell from the top of the fridge. One of a cluster perched there since around this time last year when Dave or Susan started collecting canned food for their church's food drive. I'm surprised that one hasn't fallen off before.
Before she got kicked out of the office, Susan liked to work on pet projects that had nothing to do with her job, but made the office more "fun", perhaps in lieu of an administrative assistant. Often she would get upset at the lack of involvement from Dave or me and would slam doors, stomp her feet, yell, and cry. Dave got fed up with it after a tantrum over Christmas decorations and she was banned from the office.
For the food drive she had printed some flyers and stuck them around the building. She also filled a paper bowl with Hershey's kisses, half purple-foiled dark chocolate half and silver-foiled regular and placed it at the front of the office next to the stack which is now on the fridge. The flyer used some alliteration of "can" and "kiss" to encourage inhabitants of other offices to drop off their cans for the drive in exchange for a piece of chocolate.
Nobody came. Around this time I had decided that after losing almost 20 pounds, though still around 70 overweight, I didn't have the time, energy or dedication to count calories anymore. So every time I entered the office I'd dig out a silver one. Susan must have been eating them too because they would disappear about twice as fast as I was eating them. The bowl would get refilled but only with dark chocolate. These were barely palatable but I continued to eat them, albeit at a slower pace. Eventually they too disappeared.
I can't remember whether there was an actual fit or if Susan was just in a particularly bad mood the day the cans moved to the top of the fridge. Western Family Choice Yellow Cling Peaches Halves in Heavy Syrup and Fancy Gold Corn Whole Kernel and Amy's Organic Soups (Lentil and Low-Fat Minestrone) from Costco. I know they were from Costco because I saw them on sale, and I bought the 16 pack. They're pretty good.
I'm pretty sure I know who brought in what.
Anyway, I inspected the can before I returned it to its perch. The expiration date was printed on top of the can in startlingly clear letters: "BEST BY:APRIL 30,2009". Today.
