1. No fish. This includes, but is not limited to: no bringing
cooked fish for lunch. No bringing
cooked fish and leaving it in the break room refrigerator. No bringing
cooked fish to work and warming it up
in the microwave. No bringing
cooked fish to work, warming it up in the microwave, and leaving it out on the break room table all afternoon. No
buying fresh fish at the market on
your lunch break and leaving it in the break room refrigerator for the
rest of the work day. No
bringing in fresh fish to share amongst your coworkers. No bringing in fresh shrimp to share amongst your coworkers. No bringing in a large bag of fresh squid
parts in to share amongst your coworkers.
No dividing up said bag of squid parts into small biohazard bags over
the break room sink. No getting squid ink all over the break room sink
and
counter. No storing biohazard bags of squid parts in the break room
refrigerator for the rest of the work day. No
squid in the office full stop. I can’t believe we have to have this
conversation.
2. That’s it. That’s all I care about.
3. Oh wait, also:
throw out your old food. Maybe do a sweep of the fridge once a week or
so and see if there’s anything in there that’s yours that you forgot
about? Please don’t leave your pasta alfredo
with broccoli in there for two months. We live in a society.
4. Label your
stuff. If it’s something that will be in there for a while that you
don’t mind sharing, like a bottle of ranch dressing, maybe include your
name, the date it was opened, and something like
“help yourself.”
5. If something is rotten, throw it out. Even if it wasn’t yours to begin with! Nobody will miss that shriveled plum, I promise.
6. Seriously, you brought fish again? NO FISH. Just. No.
