RFC2324 posted:I've heard of places with open bars in the past, always with an attached story of how the company with it had to put an end to it because of the alcoholic senior engineers and admins getting drunk and brawling in the offices, or pissing everywhere, or the other things that people do when completely soused and out on the town. My place of  .) At least part of the downfall was out head of office services (receptionists/word processing/etc.) getting loving well *obliterated* every year... I've heard of videos, but none have publically surfaced at my level of drudgery.Not that I want to see anything particularly  from her.  In actual work-related fun, they've decided that it's "not fair" for newer staff to qualify for fewer PTO days per year - so everyone now gets near-max! (And a mighty grumbling arose from the longer-term staff who've over time qualified... since they get fuckall for being long-term otherwise.) As well, an optional work schedule will be available - 8x 9-hour days, 1x 8-hour day, and an extra weekday off in a two-week pay period. Unless you're a clever rear end in a top hat who's been here ten years, and thus accrues 8+ hours of PTO per pay period. 8x9 hours, one free day, and 8 hours PTO.  Kinda got the stinkeye from pointing out this perfectly legitimate schedule - poo poo, I wouldn't even be using my max 28 days PTO per year doing that.

Long ago, I was hauling out some computer poo poo (box full of floppies/peripherals, with a big ol' CRT sitting on top) out of the public library one evening, after a local user-group meeting. Welp, since it was January and there was a very slight downward slope to the concrete walkway, that means it had frosted over already... and since I was wearing my old beater combat boots, the soles were awfully slick, and I was pretty much horizontal when I hit the ground. Head hit wasn't too bad - until that goddamn monitor bounced off my sternum and slammed into my chin (opening a bone-deep split in my chin, under my beard) and *slamming* my skull back into the concrete. Concussion for about three days, yay, and, as I found out later, it cracked a couple wisdom teeth. Monitor and other poo poo come through OK, though!

As for coffee, we've had free employee coffee for years, but recently added in free coffee for the lobbies of the various locations. We're a behavioral healthcare provider. People (not necessarily clients/their families and friends there for support or transport) are rolling in and filling up Big Gulp cups and poo poo. Entire 20 oz containers of sugar are disappearing at a rate of 3-5 a day at just the main center - not sure if they're being stolen, or just being used to make slurry.  12 oz cans of powdered creamer (same physical size as the sugars) are also being run through at a less-alarming-but-still-ridiculous rate.If we ever run out of budget for this, we're gonna get rioted into a a greasy smear.

I can't prioritise if everything needs to be done now, so I'll just tell you I need three times as long as it'll actually take me. "As Soon As Possible" = "stick in the pile below all the jobs that people submitted actual deadlines for" It's *possible* to get it done sooner if they'd give me an idea of when it's actually needed by. At the very least, so I can laugh and educate them on reality vs. fantasy. "No, you won't get 24-hour turnaround on this bigass complicated mess. Especially given the fact that we don't provide this particular variation, and never have." or the perennial favorite "But I sent it in four days ahead of time!"

Ended up just faxing it back with commentary on the cover sheet, haven't heard anything more since so I guess it's good. (That's the first one I've seen that was straight-up obviously *wrong*. We get tons of requests for info, scrips and other Rx related stuff, and referrals for clinicians who haven't been here in forever, and medical records gets to go through all that poo poo to see if they're even still a *client* here - but otherwise the wrongest inbounds have been branch locations faxing us instead of whoever they were supposed to, and scams.

poo poo-related work issues - I work for a behavioral health provider, which services many in the local low-income/transient/homeless population. Over the weekend, there was a norovirus outbreak at one of the homeless shelters a couple blocks away - 60+ vics. Late Monday, got word that some of our staff (that are out'n'about in said homeless community) are starting to get hit. I have the distinct feeling that I'm going to end up one of the last few staff wandering around the downtown campus area, roaming from building to building in a vain quest for the uncorrupted who really need to note that we don't have a goddamn 24 hour turn-around, *especially* based on date alone and not whenever they finally put a request in at 4:57 PM...
