Allegedly my grandad would drink a six pack on the way into work at the refinery, way back when. I believe this because he was a goddamn alcoholic. He also did some night work for the union (but likely the mafia) at one point involving a rifle and some trucks getting disabled. When he died we found a large cache of guns hidden in false wall in the attic, and AP rounds...so I guess the story was likely.

When I worked in sales from home I would usually get a sixer on my lunch break and my sales would steadily climb in the afternoon. I avoided getting all the way drunk but there’s something to the ol’ ballmer curve for some kinds of work.

Not construction, though.
This is pretty much how my :350: on the job works out. Almost every time I've had a customer go out of their way to tell my boss how friendly and helpful I was I've been stoned, where sober I'm known for being the guy who's a blunt rear end in a top hat but gets the problems solved.

IMO people who work in customer service should be encouraged to be mildly stoned. There is definitely a ballmer curve to it where your ability to tolerate shitheads goes through the roof before your ability to do things falls off.

My favorite boss ever was the owner of the company I worked for at the time. He was an insane Cajun from the gulf coast of Mississippi, prone to the occasional raging outburst but otherwise charismatic as all hell.

Friday afternoons after hours he'd buy beer and let the employees bring it in (like, people made beer runs on their lunch breaks) and we'd all just chill for an hour or so drinking and shooting the poo poo. It was great for fostering employee morale and bonding.

I really miss that place sometimes.
Back when we still had an office before going full WFH we did the same thing, the office fridge always had beer and cola plus there were bottles of rum in the cabinet. Fridays after 3 or any other day after 5 it was fair game, and sometimes if there was a call that was obviously lovely the boss would plunk a glass of rum and coke on my desk.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
I work for a company that sells boats and there's beer in a mini fridge by the front desk, cases of champagne in the service area and the top salesman has a whole liquor cabinet in his office. I don't work with the sales guys, but I'd imagine that a whole lot of day drinking goes on.

How far was the trip to work? I wouldn't be able to drink a six pack of water that fast.

I worked at an aircraft repainting shop and when my boss would get the big rear end check for painting a plane or helicopter, he'd buy a couple of cases and we'd sit out on the hard stand, drinking and watching planes take off and land

When you gently caress up like this, they make charts and graphs to illustrate just how bad. Interesting that they blank out all of the names, I guess it is the errors that happened in general and not blaming people that makes reports like this so interesting.

I didn't understand why the transcripts had a #, I thought it was when the pilots swore but it didn't always make sense. Turns out # means "crackling voice", but I think maybe sometimes they used it to censor the pilots?

they are also used by squatters, crack fiends, white trash and anyone who wants free power to get pixies to a single circuit. kill a breaker, run one end to an outlet off that breaker and the other to your neighbor’s outdoor outlet/a utility pole/generator and boom, ‘free’ power and lights to that circuit. however, if you plug it in the live side first, you’ve made the world’s smallest, shittiest arc welder taser
