Funny thing happened in the office last week. I will try to stick to the main details in order to keep it short and sweet LMAO!

In the community refrigerator sat a bottle of Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice (Half full), an inquisitive employee says to himself (knowing this obviously refreshing drink did not belong to him)

“Hmm, what a tasty looking beverage there sitting all by it’s lonesome.”

No one will know if I have a cup or two, so he decides to pour himself a cup of this tasty beverage; Of course he couldn’t have just one cup.

He convinced himself that he could probably consume the entire contents of this tasty beverage, run out to the local grocery store, buy the same brand and replace the half full container with a totally new one before the true owner would know the difference, LMAO! Instead he found himself feeling a bit light headed, uninhibited in his conversations and many of his co-workers notice a distinctive and unusual speech impediment. FYI, he never made it to the store to replace the beverage.

It was later found that the tasty beverage had been mixed with GIN and the owner apparently sipped on this throughout the work day.

Who should suffer the consequences?

A) Mr. Inquisitive (aka, Thirsty)
B) The unobtrusive alcoholic (aka, The all day drunkard)
 
ROTFL

Are you saying the owner is the owner of the company or just the owner of the gin and juice? 

If he's the owner of the company, then (A) will likely be the only one reprimanded. 

If (B) merely owns the gin and juice and not the company then I'd say he may be in more trouble than (A) :-\

When you hear what happened, please let us know!


P.S. You're not (A) are you Hustle Man ;D

That's a great way to find the person that steals your food in the lunch room.
I've done things like that, and the personal favorite: ex-lax in the brownies. The oldie but goodie. ;D

You'll always know who took what lunch when you see him/her sprinting to the bathroom with cheeks clenched!!! ;D

Well since it is America this is the way it would go down...

(A) Would sue the company and the owner of the juice for bringing in a hazardous item into the "safe environment" of work.  He will walk away with a free hangover

(B) Would sue the Company for having his personal business being dragged out into the light and the company driving him to drink and not helping him with counseling, especially since it was the stressful environment that created his dependence.

The Company would fire (B) and offering counseling after the fact to try and help their case in the lawsuit with (A).

Everybody else in the company will suffer the situation with having their benefits being stagnant and raises remain at the current levels for years to come and Company functions (if any) will all be policed more closely and they will be Dry functions so nobody can try suing them over some employee who parties too much.  All to help pay for the lawsuits, or so they would be told.

This is why I won't be an "Office Cow". Say Moo while you get led from Desk to Office and maybe you can move up and be a bigger Cow in the pasture.
But be sure to say Moo a lot the "Farmers" want happy cows.
Just Bad Bad Blood!

Well as an "office cow" here, let me say, I don't get led, I lead.  And I must say that being an office cow I don't really have to worry so much about my looks as much as I do my education, experience, worth ethics, and profession expertise.  I can also climb the corporate ladder and do so knowing I got there because I worked hard, did a great job and deserved it.  Also as an office cow, I have a great retirement pension where I won't have to worry about collecting social security or medicaid when retired.  I also intermingle with people who are looking at me at a human level instead of just an object as had been when I had other jobs.  I dunno, I guess for some....Office Cow just fits.   :D

I'm a hiefer too then and I don't mind a bit

I love my desk , my office , my boss , and the view ain't bad either

Mind you there hasn't been enough fresh grass lately but spring is a comin' and as long as his hands are warm my boss can work on these teets  :D




Seriously though , you OS sound like you need a hug , or a vacation .
Why all the bitterness ? In all actuality peoples jobs are just that , a job .
I'm glad you have a job you like . But please don't try to demean what I do for a living . . it's just so not cool  8) 


HM . . if that guy really was sipping gin on the job , doesn't it seem reasonable that he lose his job.? unless he's a bartender I cannot find a good reason to have to drink while working . . ? The unbeknownst guy should be apologizing to his alcoholic "friend" and also the boss.
He should also be given a reminder to never touch someone elses food or drink unless it's been offered , maybe like an 8x10 glossy of his drunken ass plastered to the fridge door  :D

As the baker once said "A bun is the lowest form of humor".

I still think my scenario will play out just as I said, but onto the focus of the thread now.

So many responses... Wow I feel like xxxLinda

Can any of you think of a better animal description for office workers?  We call you office cows just because of the herd mentality.  I can sit on the patio at the local pub any given afternoon and watch the herd go.  The men are the worst, Dark Pants, White Dress shirts, and a tie.  Occasionly you might see a rebel and he will wear a coloured dress shirt.
I tried playing as an office cow and I didn't even last one day, but I did get laid so i call it a good day. lol

I like to think that I am making them dance, pay me more and I will pay attention to you and make you feel important.  :-*

and my tidbit is 5 times what the average office cow makes.

These are all great points.
Retirement isn't something I am too worried about.  When things start sagging I will move on with my Condo, Car and large nest egg set aside so I can figure where I can fit in and play in the 9 - 5 world.  Maybe I will take up welding, it would be a change to close things as oppposed to keep opening them up.

A vacation might be in order, I hear the snow in Whitefish is awesome maybe i will blow off work on the weekend and go.
I guess I am bitter but I didn't mean it as a personal attack on anyone, but reading it I can see why you think so.
I like only working three nights a week.  I like sleeping in until noon.  There is a lot more I hate but you can't make this kind of coin 9-5 (as long as you can stay off the drugs).

Girls like I don't get a lot of respect shown to us, especially from females so I don't have a great repertoire in dealing with the reality
little comments like Flower says to me all the time is what we expect.  It is constantly a fight, we are the evil of society you know.

But hey we should all relax and let your husbands spend the Christmas bonus on me, I am eyeing a new Jeep  :-* ;D

The Cow jokes are great btw  ;D ;D

 You make a condascending comment, I have made them back.  I  have felt that you say what you say you do to justify your living to yourself because I haven't heard any comments (I may have missed some) about your source of income until you say something negative about "office cows".  You are the one that likes to bring up that "you are the evil of society".   ::)

  No one has asked you to justify it, yet you like to keep doing that?

My personal take...everyone has their own way of making a living.  As long as it's legal and isn't hurting anyone...who should care.  But on the flip side, it is a profession that I would not want my daughter doing only because I wouldn't want to know there were men looking at her at such a lustful piggy way or in an environment that OS has stated "she just learned to look away" from. 

But, in the end...we are all just trying to survive.
:D Weee
