PSA: Tupperware to Leftover Ratio
A PSA poem
Containers laid out in silent rows
You planned it to last a week
But as you measure, the soul knows
The answer is not what you seek.
The amount shrunk in the making
(Or from hungry little hands)
The certainty leaves your heart aching
But the facts as they are still stand
There is not enough to fill each container
No way to divide each one perfectly
Pack what you can and eat the remainder
It'll work out next time, you'll see...
Guess what I was doing over the weekend?
No matter what, I wind up having too much of one thing, or not enough of another, and the ratio of meat and two veg for work lunches will be off in some way that most people won't notice (especially since most of my co-workers just take a stroll to the nearest food court) but will bug me for the next week.
