Funny. I see your office-fridge comic and raise you a Dilbert...

I've had good luck with my food in the communal fridge, maybe because it's rarely ready-to-eat, but it needs like 60sec of prep. Whenever I bring leftovers from home I keep the container on my desk to warm up through the morning so it microwaves quicker at lunch (less microwave time = fewer rubbery bits)
