Who said the garbage disposal doesn't work?

With all the changes at work we've had to take on a lot more printer work. Taking on this printer work has overloaded the crappy copy machine we had. Our new manager made the arrangements to get a new, beast of a copier. In order to support this new machine they had to pull power from other areas of the office. So, now we can't use the toaster oven at the same time as the microwave, the desk behind me has no power, and the garbage disposal doesn't work anymore.
After our potluck Melissa was washing dishes and trying really hard not to get any food in the drain. No luck, the water backed up. Becky, Melissa and myself were running around the office looking for extension cords because the outlet on the other side of the room still works. The pictures below are the result: notice the cord floating off the ground because it's stretched.

But, ya know what??? It worked! We don't have to worry so much about food in the drain now because we can MAKE it work.
