Dear fellow bloggers,
Except for the Oreo cookies in our refrigerator, we lead a pretty spartan existence at the UCO Reporter office and seldom ask for much. We would like very much to upgrade in one respect, however, and ask if any of you could help. We would like a MICROWAVE OVEN. We were recently given a very nice toaster oven by Phyllis Richland, and we thank her very much for this, but we could also use a microwave.
We could use a microwave for a number of things, as you can well imagine, but my own immediate desire for one is so I can reheat my morning coffee. When I go to the shop (I really prefer to call our quarters "the shop”) I usually get a cup of instant coffee for Syd and myself. I like mine real hot. We both use the little creamers. Syd keeps a supply in his desk drawer; I get mine from the refrigerator, where the Oreos are kept. I drink my coffee very slowly and need it reheated in about a half hour. A microwave would really help.
We’re not fussy folks at the shop, and almost any kind of microwave would do. It can be small; it can certainly be second-hand. Can anyone help?

It is my understanding the reporter makes a profit of around 40k or more . I suggest you outfit the office with a microwave, coffee maker,small refrigerator and whatever supplies deemed necessary for a comfortable working environment.It's a thankless job and the all volunteer staff should be comfortable.
ReplyDeleteSorry , I see you have a frig, get whatever you need , no need to beg for hand me down crap from some villager.
ReplyDeleteI agree with mike, just go to brandsmart and buy a micro..You guys deserve NEW...
ReplyDeleteMike is correct. Those good people spend many hours in there and really should have a complete kitchenn and not hand me downs
ReplyDeleteIn total agreement with all of the
ReplyDeleteother posts...the paper does make
a handsome profit, only because of
the majority of it's staff are
volunteers and do deserve all the
creature comforts available...
The Reporter has a budget, use it and BUY a microwave!!!
ReplyDeleteJust to let everyone know: We now have our microwave, a very nice one given us by Roberta Hofmann. Thank you, those of you who commented, for your kind words about the Reporter staff. You don't know how much it is appreciated. We are not perfect, but we are trying, just as are you other volunteers.
