This time they've thrown out my jar of jam.
Clearly an opened jar of jam is a threat to the health and safety of the rest of the items in the fridge. The monthly cleanout took place while I was on holiday.
Every one of my coworkers who uses the fridge has complained about losing stuff (of course, being English, they only moan to each other, rather than actually complaining to the person responsible, who might be able to do something).
I was so irritated I went to the woman who runs the cleanout and complained - no English restraint!
I do my part to keep the kitchen tidy - I don't leave cups in the sink, I don't open the dishwasher, I clean up the microwave after myself - and I really resent losing my stuff when I'm not here. It's always stuff that doesn't go bad - butter, jam, coffee. If it can keep for a year in my fridge, I'm damned to see how it cannot keep at work.
She said 'I'm acting under orders' (like this was some military operations!) and to go tell the head of services.
Apparently she's not willing to take responsibility of something as minor as cleaning a fridge.
I said you're the one doing it! I should talk to you.
She said well maybe you'd like to do it, and see what the problems are...
So I said yes, glad to, no problem.
I then wrote to the head of services to explain I'm volunteering, after she'd graciously suggested that I take on the role.
No answer yet, from either.
