The totally off-topic thread

Well, don't shop at Coles, either. Bought this on Sunday, opened it this morning: "best before 15/09/2016" - ummm, no.

With that BBD I hope you got it for basically nothing. That kind of cardboard has a shelf life of yonks!

FWIW - always take stuff from the back - not the front.

And I also take from the bottom back

Yowsers. That sounds wrong

Cash in some sick leave?

But reciprocally, most senior person ordering should be paying.
I don't even drink coffee and always buy (bought, now) for the team whenever we had coffee.

last time i did that there were 42 coffees!

Haha!! Been there done that.
As we have up to three "bosses" on duty at any one time of which I'm one we usually take it in turns to shout the coffees.
The interns love to trot off with the order though as its a welcome 5 minute escape from the madness

 

[coolumbla]

we had the worlds worst intern who we failed initially and repeatedly!
it was his job to get the coffees
used to take him 45 minute which we thought was just the slowness of the new coffee shop

After we failed him the next intern went and was back in 15 minutes

Seems that what happened is the new intern turned up at the shop and the guy there has gone
Which is your coffee?"
she explained she didnt have one but she was made to sit down and given a hot chocolate
when shed finished hers all our coffees tuned up and she came back

Apparently what happened with the worlds worst intern was that he went down and ordered the coffees
Went and sat in the corner and read the paper and slowly drank his own coffee
When he was about 3/4 of the way through his , the rest of the coffees were started on so that they were ready when he'd finished the paper and his coffee!

If we'd known he was doing that we'd have marked him higher for initiative!

Still August here.

Still August here.

Not for long though.

It can be worse. You could be stuck in a time warp in the previous century.

 

[blackcat20]

Made it to work with a boot full of customer orders; have to race home tonight and do the rest :shock:

Still August here.

And here ... for another 3hrs 49 minutes

And never have I been happier to say goodbye to a month.

September is hell month for us, its the one month we talk about for the other prior 11mths of our year.

Got the OK for Red Bull week and I hate the stuff.

Husband to me: I guess I should stock up on cereal as you wont be home much this month.

Bosses wife to Boss: Im going to Sth Africa for 3 weeks to see my mom.
Boss: Its September, I wont notice youre gone so thats good.

8yr to Helicopter mum coworker: Mum, got my school camp letter and guess what?! Its in September, which is good because you wont notice Im gone


We have our loved ones well trained.

Has caused me a lot of stress but think this month will be just as stressful.

Facing another episode right now. Lost count if that's 7 or 8 episodes in the past 6 weeks. Can't focus or think clearly. It's taking ages booking flights where I would normally be confident that's exactly what I want and book.

But still can't complain. Others have it worse.

What exactly requires such family-neglect? And why does it occur every september?

Does your office close for football finals?

Wonder if anyone at Nissan considered it a silly idea to name their new model a Nissan Cash Cow'.

Isnt it Qashqai? Love_the_life - remember Sammi? Of course you do. Cleaned our glasses with vodka on QM2 His pride and joy was his Qashqai back in 2014. But we had not heard of it. Never mind. He was so pleased to see us after Shanghai.

Checked on formal nights recently? Just do it Cunard!
