What a long, sad trip it's been

Okay so yesterday I bought some hamburger meat.

Today I came home and cooked that meat. And ate it. I also ate some tomato salad I'd had in the fridge. When I was eating the tomatoes I noticed they seemed unusually warm for something I'd just taken from the fridge. So I looked in the fridge and noticed that everything in there was kind of warm.

!!!!!!!!!!!

The thermometer in the freezer said it was zero, so that was okay. I moved the thermometer into the fridge and it registered SIXTY DEGREES!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I turned the fridge all the way up to Max Cold and even now (about 45 minutes later) it's only gotten down to 55 degrees!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I ate this meat that had been sitting at practically room temperature for the past 24 hours! Not to mention I also ate cheese and salad dressing that might have been sitting around at room temperature for DAYS!

Am I gonna get sick!?!? E-coli? Liver failure?? What!? WHAT!?!?

(Just FYI, the recommended temperature for a refrigerator is no more than 40 degrees.)
