So. School's back in session, and we're going green. This isn't a bad thing.
What my aching fingers are really pissed off by is the fact that--as part of this effort to go green (which is to say, "Save money, but save face")--our dining services have implemented a program where you pick up a reusable to-go container if you're taking your food and running. I picked up mine today and grabbed salad.
As I went to close the latch, my fingers couldn't do it. They don't have the strength. I had to basically trap the damn thing with my body and slam it. As was, it bounced off of my fingers, made my finger joints ache trying to close it, and nearly went flying.
Can we say ow? Okay, so it just got opened, it hadn't been bent before, it'll fix itself. I am an optimist. I also had a major brain failure (that would be the pain, thanks!) . Because it came with the latch already closed. It hadn't been hard to open, but trust me, as I finished my lunch a few minutes ago, it was still terribly hard to close.
I foresee this being a massive problem.
And no, we're not allowed to use our own damned tupperware. A couple years ago when I was too sick to do much more than live off their soups, I used to have to petition--every time--to get them to let me bring my own bowl to take to go.
