I’ll drink to that

Where’s Bung?

You’d think he’d be monopolizing the cooler!

Booze in a cone paper cup, I gotta try that

Now he’s in the spirit of things.

Eat your heart out Jack Daniels.

One company I worked for had Saturday monthly business operations reviews. Lots of data reviewed with supplements of cigars and booze.

Has the cooler been filled with vodka or akvavit?

Considering you can get your spells to do your work for you while you sit, it shouldn’t bother you.

How dry i…hic

Bung’s idea I suppose……

Did Bung stock the candy machine too?

Extra-strength Dos Equis?

Free doughnuts and other employee amenities: what management does to compensate for exploiting their employees. Bread and Circuses for the corporate world.

Fringe benefits!!!!

Gathering around the poor no cooler.

Saturday?

How about showing up during a weekday? For those “working from home”, while some of us have to show up every weekday.

Call it fortified “DiHydrogen Oxide”.

Not a bad idea. The back to the office movement could use a little XXX lubrication. …wait. triple X? hummm.

Yikes, that’s one way to go home early.

Now THAT’S a water cooler!

Used to work at a company that had a beer fridge, which everyone had agreed to only open after working hours and be responsible about.

Then, senior management told one of our engineers that he had to move to the division in rural Quebec (after promising him when he was hired that they’d never do that).

He proceeded to start drinking at 10 am on his last day in our office, and was too drunk to be admitted to Canada by the time the car arrived to take him to the Vancouver airport.

He never went to Quebec, and he didn’t get fired, either…too difficult to replace his specialized technical skills.

And the beer fridge stayed, although they did install a time lock.

Now I’m jealous that we don’t have that at work.

It makes for some great watercooler conversations.

Is Bong in charge of the water cooler now?

Tres Equis, twas b4 it lost one of its equises…

Castlemaine XXXX

Bung petitioned for that.

Never in a paper cup, but I’ve held many a red solo cup.
