Why take the time out of your day to beat your boss yourself with the sack of doorknobs, when you can hang the sack from a rope and have it slam into them at speed Home Alone style? Or rig up the Co2 tanks to a modified pony keg and potato gun smaller sacks of door knobs at them? You could beat several C-level executives with a sack filled with doorknobs in the time it takes to set all that up.

Another one of the serving staff left as of yesterday. Kind of sucks, but I don't blame her or any one of the many other part timers that have quit after a short amount of time. She's really nice and was very capable and hard working. But because she's young and a woman the head chef was probably making GBS threads on her the entire time. I don't know if he's the reason, but I wouldn't be surprised if that rear end in a top hat was at least a factor along with the bumbling restaurant manager. Like, Jesus. It's not that hard to keep young people in a part time position. Nowhere else is paying that great. Just don't treat them like poo poo because even though they're inexperienced you haven't shown them any reason to show any loyalty (I know there's never really a reason but you know) so once they catch wind of something better of course they're gonna walk! I know I would.

Escape From Noise posted:I get some things off Amazon or whatever if the regular restaurant or brewery supply doesn't have it. One of our brewery suppliers has aseptic fruit puree but the selection isn't great. I don't need this puree immediately but I know I'm gonna want it at the end of the year though, which is why I brought it up again. It's a long process getting stuff set up. I'm just sick of having to ride this guy's rear end to get anything done. I wish I could just do it myself. There's just no sort of easy third party supplier for things like 60-120 kilos of aseptic fruit puree that I know of. At least nothing practical. Inside the EU there's only a handful of real good suppliers, and if you need something for dairy products your options are rapidly being consolidated into one company. An Icelandic dairy I worked for for a very brief spell used a supplier in Schweiz, who were just The Best, but also did not accept Icelandic ISK, only Euro and Swiss Francs. Now at the time the Central Bank of Iceland imposed not severe but still present capital restrictions on companies, maybe not the right term, but essentially if you wanted to import things in non-ISK currency you could not go above some limit so that the ISK didn't become worth even less than it already was (and is, this is why you don't let your banks die in a market crash lol). The Icelandic dairy had hit this cap already and ordered its supplies for most of the year anyway so no biggie until Quality Engineer A looks up from his computer and goes "Champagne posting, we're out of strawberry mixture". Then proceeds to look at me for what felt like the longest of pauses which didn't break until I asked "...ok?". Turns out we did not have enough of the right sweetness of strawberry mix for some icelandic greek yoghurt (skyr) and could not order anymore unless someone went cap in hand to the central bank and no one expected a positive outcome anyway. The predicament was solved by using two different strawberry mixes of varying sweetness and all was good, but god drat

Fortunately, I'm not nearly at the scale where I have issues like this. I could use our current supplier or just not make the fruit beer. I'm just sorta irritated that I asked about this in August, multiple times, and it still wasn't enough. I get that he's busy, that's why he asked me to send him info. Options are limited here but not awful. I just wish there were more yeast options!

To end this with a good note, I got a new temporary job yesterday. Home office, with the doctor I had mentioned. I'll be working on her campaign for union president, and well, if she wins and likes the poo poo I do, there's a chance that I'm made part of her team. A six year contract  Wish me luck, goons!

Came into the office this morning and was greeted by my chud colleague and the chud network engineer having a rant about... The Clinton Administration... For 20 goddamned minutes. And the network engineer just stood in our doorway, filling the entire space... On the bright side, my boss - who sent us a text that he was sick and not coming in - is apparently coming in... But NOT sick, and also dressed like a creepy clown to scare the poo poo out of the aforementioned chud colleague who is deathly afraid of clowns.

I'll do a good job and share in good fortune, but cuts and ordering mistakes can't bring me below a liveable wage. Oh I know, I've been here seven or so years. When I started we never had trouble keeping things in the warehouse. Most of this year and last year we would run out of Grippos early every week because they refuse to send more than one truck here a week and we don't have a semi or driver to go pick it up. Best we can do is a (25?) footer truck but now there's no one to drive it because the warehouse guy is working bread delivery most of the time. All the bread guys are stupid chuds and constantly quitting or getting mad. We also recently lost Snyder's because that company decided to remove everyone's routes around here (??) and break them into smaller routes (???). Except they found one guy to take them all over (????) who quit his job as a grocery store Store Manager to do it, instead of any of the established independents. Oh also they haven't even given him a contract after a month and a half so no stores are receiving Snyder's. That company is somehow run worse than Grippos. Even with all this crap, I still make more money than a retail job while working 30~ hours a week. Used to be only four days a week until I picked up a different route that also carries Mission tortillas that I have to bring to Walmart three times a week, which means Saturdays again.

The clown ambush failed.. kinda. Instead of getting him at his desk, my boss came out of the elevator right as the dude who's scared of clowns started to go in, so he ran right into our boss and freaked, but there were fewer witnesses there and gan if it had happened at his desk. A few years ago, I drew a cartoon clown face on a spare whiteboard with the text "Don't look behind you" and set it up under the dude's desk so it would fall out at him when he pulled his chair out. He couldn't bring himself to erase the clown, so I just kept setting it up under his d so for like a month.

Our American pale ale was a solid seller. I think that Belgian dark strong is kind of a hard sell because people see the name and expect something like an imperial stout or something along those lines. It's one of those weird old fashioned naming conventions where "dark" meant "in comparison to pale or blond/golden beers". Sorta like how bitters isn't intensely bitter. It was just moreso than conventional beers of the era.

Oh, the only reason why they're doing it is because they have to liquidate a bunch of show stock (the ones I got) and U-Line gifts and stuff because the plant shuts down at the end of March and has to be clear by the end of June. I guess they stopped giving good poo poo away a couple years before I started working there because the writing was already on the wall irt renewing the lease on the factory. Not gonna complain about a pair of originally $250 now $200 open-back phones I always wanted and had to pay full price for despite an EPP, though.

Admiral Joeslop posted:BBQ, the plain barely sells around here despite people always asking me for it. Jesus. Everything about this post makes me nervous as hell. Sounds like pagan anarchy deep in the woods compared to what I experienced in Tampa Bay, which is a huge, well developed market. Snyders/Lance has been breaking up routes for a while. The routes in Tampa Bay used to be split between large format and small format, but they combo-ed them after the buyout to accomplish ??? The company was facing outright rebellion until they rejiggered small format commissions to make it worthwhile for the IOs. Their big-brain plan now is to consolidate the warehouses so PF bread, PF cookies/crackers, and Snyders all run out of the same building. Unfortunately for everyone, this is happening before new warehouse space is aquired. Imagine twelve bread routes, twelve cookie routes, and fifteen Snyders routes, all loading out of a five-bay warehouse with no ground level doors. Open from 0130-0600, Mon-Sat. Motherfuckers are pushing product into the parking lot, out through the office doors around front, shuttling poo poo to their garages at home, all sorts of craziness. At least the warehouses are manned by company employees, so theft is kept to a minimum and you have someone to bitch to that isn't a DM. Mission tortillas can be fun. Ran one for a week, dude paid well and I got to use a brand new truck and trailer. Heavy poo poo, but super easy to organize and stock. The tablet HHC was a janky piece of poo poo, like they all are. My thing was (until recently) running vacations for Bimbo bread and PF bread guys and gals. Great money if you can get enough customers. Leave the route looking good and they'll make poo poo easy as possible for you every time. No pull ups unless I wanted extra cash, no phone calls, no ordering, just roll in whenever five days a week, do it right the first time, and have the rest of the day to myself.

The owner is the dad of a friend I've had for almost 25 years now so it was pretty easy to get the job. The friend actually works for Mission directly now, with his wife, who's parents own a big portion of the Mission routes around here. They don't have time to go all the way to my one Mission stop so it got subcontracted or whatever you want to call it to my company, and I got the friend's old route. The Mission handheld is a wonderful sight compared to the ones we have for the chips. The Mission ones have phone cards so they automatically TCOM, ours we have to connect to WiFi and cast a dark spell to ensure it goes through the first time. At least the laser scanner works.
