A Cold Reception

So we got an e-mail from Borrish informing us that the workroom will be getting a new stainless steel refrigerator. I have to admit that I feel a bit a guilty about getting such a luxury with the school’s economic situation and all. Why didn’t we go a bit more—modest?

My feelings are fortified when Borrish’s e-mail includes, “Please get rid of any leftovers, moldy sandwiches and other items that have turned into science projects.” That’s all the more reason not to get a fancy appliance. It sounds like our delicacies would be more fitting in a cooler on the back of a bass fisher’s truck and not a fridge with something called a beverage chiller department.
