KATRINA NUGENT 9.39am: Yesterday I put my lunch in the fridge on
Level 19 which included a packet of ham, some cheese slices and
two slices of bread which was going to be for my lunch today.
Over night it has gone missing and as I have no spare money to
buy another lunch today, I would appreciate being reimbursed for
it.
MELINDA BIRD 9.55: Katrina, There are items fitting your exact
description in the level 20 fridge. Are you sure you didn’t
place your lunch in the wrong fridge yesterday?
KATRINA NUGENT 10.06: Melinda, probably best you don’t reply to
all next time, would be annoyed to the lawyers. The kitchen was
not doing dinner last night, so obviously someone has helped
themselves to my lunch. Really sweet of you to investigate for
me!
MELINDA BIRD 10.14: Katrina, since I used to be a float and am
still on the level 19 email list I couldn’t help but receive
your ridiculous email – lucky me! You use our kitchen all the
time for some unknown reason and I saw the items you mentioned
in the fridge so naturally thought you may have placed them in
the wrong fridge. Thanks I know I’m sweet and I only had your
best interests at heart. Now as you would say, “BYE”!
KATRINA NUGENT 10.15: I’m not blonde!!!
MELINDA BIRD 10.16: Being a brunette doesn’t mean you’re smart
though!
KATRINA NUGENT 10.17: I definitely wouldn’t trade places with
you for “the world”!
MELINDA BIRD 10.19: I wouldn’t trade places with you for the
world… I don’t want your figure!
KATRINA NUGENT 10.21: Let’s not get person (sic) “Miss Can’t
Keep A Boyfriend”. I am in a happy relationship, have a
beautiful apartment, brand new car, high pay job…say no more!!
MELINDA BIRD 10.23: Oh my God I’m laughing! happy relationship
(you have been with so many guys), beautiful apartment (so
what), brand new car (me too), high pay job (I earn more)….say
plenty more… I have 5 guys at the moment! haha.

I wondered the same thing as TootsNYC. What a childish argument.
I am kind of curious to know if it really WAS Katrina's lunch in
the wrong fridge as Melinda suspected. We don't ever really get
a complete answer about that other than a denial from Katrina.

It escalated so rapidly!
Melinda's first response was perfectly reasonable (though doing
it in a reply-to-all might have made it seem like she was trying
to publicly call Katrina stupid).
And then Melinda went off the rails immediately, with the
"ridiculous" crack.
That's what made me think there just had to be a backstory.
And i think that had to be Katrina's food on Level 20.

To me, it sounds like Katrina didn’t want to admit she put the
food in the wrong fridge. So instead of simply saying “Thanks,
I’ll check it out,” she chided Melinda publicly and it was off
to the races...

My favorite part of this is how Katrina first says she has no
extra money to replace a ham sandwich lunch, but then turns
around and brags about how much money she makes and the nice
things she has. If her lunch was really stolen, that's wrong, no
matter how much she makes or doesn't make, but I couldn't help
but laugh at that! Also, someone may need to tell Melinda that
bragging about having 5 guys at the moment makes her
sound......not good. :o
Also, LadyJ3000, I stared at your submission with mouth gaped
open for several seconds. I am not much of a germophobe, and I'm
pretty friendly to almost everyone. But if someone, especially a
stranger, put their hands on or in my food, I think I would lose
it! ???

Nobody ever figured out who did this, but we had our suspicions.
When I worked as a new employee trainer, one of the other
trainers was having a potluck with her class. They were evening
employees, so she put the 9x13" cheesecake that she had made in
the office fridge (group fridge in the cafeteria for the entire
office building). Somebody cut a piece out of the very middle.
She was pretty disgusted by that.
After that, whenever we put potluck items in the fridge, we'd
wrap it up with plastic and tape and have colleagues check on it
regularly. Best case scenario was to keep stuff in cars during
cold weather.
Oh, and she was a former pastry chef who had worked at the
best-known bakery-cafe in town. So, her cheesecake was pretty
amazing, and it was sad that she had to throw one away. (If you
ever get a chance, I highly recommend working with a former
chef.)

I know! Why??
My husband had his lunch stolen at work a couple of times when
we were in Texas, but we never figured out who did it. It made
me really angry when they stole his whole lunch box, a really
nice one that kept his food cold. He started eating in the
cafeteria after that.
