Here's the story:
I was making cherry chocolate avalanches and things went wrong. I needed 60, I got 50. Okay, that's alright, it's only ten. So I put the crushed Oreo on top and get the cherry. I scoop out enough for ten and look and discover that there is no more cherry. Geez, so I put everything uncovered on sheet pans and rapped them up.
Now for the absolute crap part. We had a mix up with the rolls and had an extra 500 that we didn't need. Luckily we didn't put them in the box yet so we just threw them in the refrigerator on their racks for tomorrow. So this small frig. is now packed with regular racks and 5-6 speed racks (Wheels) and I just need space to put all the pudding on. But how annoying! Someone took an entire rack and put three pans of steak on it. That's it. Just three pans. So I then tried to put those on another rack, bit the place is packed and it's hard to move anything, but I get it done. So I decide to to a princess saving thing and move the racks around to get out the now empty one. So things get moved around and I see a big tub of potatoes on top of this weird wheely thing and think 'Why the hell do they have the tub sitting that way? It takes up too much space.' So I try to move it. Here is where the lesson of the day kicks in.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE POTATOES, THEY ARE LIKE THAT FOR A REASON.
So basically, the whole tub tips and water comes spilling out everywhere. "GAH!" It then tips towards me "Oh my god." "Ehhh." "Aaaah" Now I'm wet and struggling with this stupid huge tub of water and potatoes. My fingers are getting crushed under the weight of the damn thing and I'm pretty much in a sound proof room. The tub falls on the ground then. I huff and try not to get too upset and stare at the water all over the floor. So I squeeze out of the damn refrigerator and Gayle is on the other side. So FML I cried a bit at work. I was hurt and upset and shaking. Not a fun time. All because of these Cherry Chocolate Avalanches $2.99. I went and sat at the top of the stairs and posted a facebook status about how I hate the freaking things but the funniest thing happens. I'm walking up the stairs and looking out at this kid who is looking in to the refrigerator box. He's about three feet away from me and he says "Cherry Chocolate Avalanche?" Of all the things for this kid to say, it was that. I had to laugh. It was ridiculous. So now I'm here, sporting two darkening bruises just above my knees and three or four under my nails. Wow, way to fail. Gayle later told me that she did the same exact thing though. :)
The end.
