FCPHA: Big Table in the Back


Recommended Posts

A raise post flop is what I was looking for there.
What you were looking for wouldn't have worked with my joke.
You popped into my head when I read it.
I had a number of them remind me of other people.

I'm about to drink wine and eat french fries. Gourmet.edit: Yep...I liked my own post.

Happy Fourth of July to those that celebrate. I have a couple of Angus steaks marinating in K.C.Masterpiece Steakhouse blend as I type. That will go with a shrimp cocktail, twice baked potato and corn

This is dumb and minor, but really is pissing me off for some reason. As I believe I've stated in here, I starting going food shopping on lunch to eat here instead of going out. Cheaper and eat healthier. Anyway, I bought paper plates and napkins and put them on top of the fridge in the kitchen downstairs. I put my bread on top of them, along with my PB. It's pretty obvious they are mine, since I walk through the office every Monday with bags of food and walk back from the kitchen everyday with my food on the plates. There's only 15-16 people in my office, so it's not like it's huge and people don't see me.Well, a few months back, we had a big bid going in and they ordered pizza for the 8-9 people involved. I walk through that area, and they're all eating the pizza off my paper plates. No big deal, but a "Hey, we used your plates in a crunch." would have been nice. Rita, in accounting, is the only one that said anything, asking me if those were my plates. I told her they were and she told me to do a expense for them and she'd approve it. I told her, no big deal.So, since then, I've been noticing my plates disappearing. Maybe 3-4 week, but just annoying. And, yes, I do rip one to mark them to make sure I'm not just thinking they're going. Not only that, but some of the time, my bread and napkins (which are obviously being used too) are moved off them and left there.It's not the cost of them that bothers me, it's that someone obviously doesn't care that they're taking someone else's plates. Should I leave a note saying they are mine, etc.? Just annoying...This brings me to something else that annoys me here. Toilet paper in the men's room. There's a double roll dispenser in the stall that I use. It's always left with very little on either. Fine, you don't want to replace it, but they can't even grab a roll out of the closet, which is 5 feet from the stall, and set one on the shitter. It's been close, but I have not yet sat down to drop one and realize there's no paper. Random side story on the TP. A few years ago, before we rented out the space upstairs, a few people had their office up there. I used the shitter up there the one day and there was a note with step-by-step instructions on where to get the TP from and how to put the roll on the dispenser. It was classic, details to the point of "Walk down the stairs, make a right, make another right, make a left, go into backroom on left, open supply closet", and signed by a guy that works here with a note saying to contact him if they had any questions on the instructions.I really don't understand how people can be so f'n inconsiderate. I mean, I'm a real asshole, but I'm at least considerate of these types of things.

Maybe it's just me, but if I'm unemployed and getting paid until the end of summer, getting up at 8:30 is not on my agenda for a while.
If I was in Blue's situation, I would rarely go to bed before 8:30am.

You're right, it's not a huge deal, but I don't get it either. Being an asshole in some situations and having manners in others is different.Sidenote: We have our own fridge in our actual office, you guys have the room to do that? Just keep your stuff there.

At least half the time, I have the kids, so I have to get up at 8:15 to take them to school. When I don't have the kids, I generally sleep til 10. But I don't mind getting up at 8:30 if there's something I want to do. I can always sleep in the day before or the day after, but to play the game I want at the casino, I have to get up at 8:30 or so. No big deal, it's only going to be the second time I've gotten up early to go there. And next time I'll go on a day I have the kids so I can drop them off at 8:45 and just drive straight there.

Anything I leave in the fridge I put my name on all Big with a Sharpie.. Anything else stays in my desk because everyone here will use it.I'd put a note on it saying.. Tim's - please ask before you borrow

Understandable. I really, really, really, really like to sleep in, though.

You mean, you have a mini fridge of your own in your office?

The food in the fridge has never been an issue.I was thinking of putting a "TIM'S" sign over the stuff on top, but I didn't want to seem like I was getting pissed over $5 in paper plates.

Yeah, guess I should have specified, mini-fridge. There are three of us that work in the same room in the building and we just keep all our own stuff in here. If somebody used my plates I would just go, "Hey, next time you're out get us some more plates."Sidenote: I really think Obama should put together a committee to settle, once and for all, how we are going to spell the word "doughnut".

I understand why you get up early, cause you're old and shit. But, as I said, if I was in your spot, I could do what I want, cause I don't have kids.I DO WHAT I WANT! (Said like a fat black woman on Maury)

That would piss me off, too. I find your indignation to be righteous.At school, there are two refrigerators and a chest freezer. Every pay day, one grade brings in treats for everyone. Many teachers bring there items in the day before and store them in the fridge. Once, an entire pound of deli ham was stolen. Another time, a whole deli tray was taken. There have also been whole pizzas stolen. It's ridiculous. My boss and I have a small fridge in a workroom in the library. We store all of our snacks, plates, etc in there.
So how many elementary school girls and boys showed up in VS stuff? I bet at least 1! LOL
We got a call two nights ago (a recorded message to all students) detailing the rules of spirit week and specifically banning short pjs and thin strap camis for pajama day. I'm sure some people will wear them anyway. I wonder how many kids will have to have parents bring them a change of clothes.

Nice to know that these people are responsible for the molding of our youth.

I'm not saying it's funny, but I'll explain it more...As well as the farm aid, as others explained, there's an old, old joke that goes...Q: What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor? A: Where the fuck is my tractor?So, they assume that everyone knows that joke, but give the dumn farm aid answer instead as if the curve ball would be funny.
GAY

I keep everything I can in my desk. Not so much because I care if someone uses it but because if someone does use the last of something they're very unlikely to tell me and when I go to make my lunch I'll be surprised and missing a vital item for my meal.Keep your plates and napkins and bread and PB in your desk, Tim.

Good plan.
Rub it on your butt first.
Good plan, but even better, he should pull out his nut, like he always does, and put it on the plate, making sure to take a picture. Then leave the plate.

If it was their shit that was being used you would hear about it. What happens when you have none left when you go to use one? I'd fucking flip out
