A friendly place for friends who drink

[BGBC]

We've got a cafeteria in production. They've got a bring your own keurig deal. It's a disgusting mess from the kids leaving food and dishes everywhere. The engineering department uses the conference room for coffee/food.

Electric kettle with a french press at your desk?

 

[drainbamage]

We have a semi-communal coffee machine (with horrible watery coffee) or several people have Keurigs. I just bring my own from home, although we've talked about getting a machine just for our dept.

 

[drainbamage]

I bring a french press in two travel mugs (need to get a thermos, but I'm too lazy and cheap) from home every day. I've only worked at one place that had a decent coffee setup. The rest either had terrible coffee or ******* coworkers that don't make a new pot after they steal it all.

I'm sensing a trend...

 

[iijakii]

I remember a good story FIL was telling me about Lockheed. Just about everyone had a coffee maker in their cubes, many having microwave and mini fridge as well. When the union started causing troubles a couple of years ago management took away appliance privileges from the union people saying it wasn't in their contract. Only salary workers were allowed coffee makers. Lol.

You work everywhere I've ever worked?

Mostly I'm just glad that the lady who used to soak her dirty oatmeal bowl in the kitchen sink for 24 hours is gone. I don't had to wipe her dripped coffee mess off the counter anymore either.

Work. It would be great if it weren't for the job and the people.

 

[WesleyS]

Well, I think I finally caught the suck. Sharing a house with two sick people finally got me. The rest of this week might suck a lot.

 

[WesleyS]

Yall don't have a break room? Quit. Burn it down on your way out. Our old building had a coffee closet. Only breakroom was in the middle of the warehouse. Worst thing ever.

Here's my break/conference/coffee room.

We had a guy who liked to dump his old oatmeal into the urinal, occasionally into the sink the bathroom for some odd reason. Every thing would back up, like all the time. Sometimes this thick tar like substance would back flow into the sink...nasty stuff.
Yea, that guy was also the president of the company. Weird dude

We had a lady who would microwave a whole Totinos pizza and then scarf it down. Every day. And leave an exploded cheese mess in the microwave each time.

You can also imagine that she would drop some massive bombs at work rather than home.

 

[Psylocide]

Sadly no. Snorkeling, but no scuba. Wife is not a big swimmer, but she'll do a little snorkeling.



Smoked beers are one style that I am not a fan of. I've had a couple that I like, but it's rare. I'd rather eat my BBQ than drink it.

I thought the same thing, but when I would take a drink, the smokey beer just lingered on my stache and it was the best thing evar.

The first smoked beer I ever had was Alaskan Smoked Porter. And I had no idea what to expect. I agree just not my style.

Alaskan's smoked beer tastes like they added liquid smoke. It has a chemical taste to it that I really don't care for.

Nobody has to die yet.

False. ****ing impromptu meetings ****ing up my thread game.

 

[iijakii]

Totinos, lol. Used to eat those as a fatass 12yo all the time. Microwave a bit til it's soft, put more cheese and meat and **** in it, roll it up like a burrito and finish cooking. It was awesome.

Pfft, 24 hours? We have someone (I have my suspicions as to whom) who soaks their crock pot and dishes in the break room sink for 2 weeks after most holiday lunches. Either that, or it's their kid's science experiment. Talk about disgusting.

They've at least gotten a little more responsible after the last couple times where their container "mysteriously" ended up in the trash.

welp, oldest daughter has flu now. I woke up with a sour stomach so no coffee today but giving Mtn Dew a shot. Will find out in a little bit what our apartment plans to do. The floccers better be terminating my lease and paying my moving expenses or I will rain hellfire on them

[Hello]

Are you a tenant in a complex owned by a corporation or is it some guy who owns the building? He could be a "corporation", but that would more or less be on paper to protect his assets. Hopefully you're a tenant in a building owned by a larger corporation. It'll be easier to get what you need/want out of them.

The apartment I moved into once had no flashing installed. The trees surrounding my apartment created shade all of the time. There was zero direct light into the apartment. Evidently there was a broken sprinkler that no one detected that gushed water right at the foundation of the master bedroom. The floor was constantly cold and damp. I was told it was because it was always shady in the apartment. I pulled out a few stacks of books from under the bed one day and they were riddled with mold. They came in and did the normal cleaning, air drying with large fans, etc etc. I was out in 5 days as I informed them of my asthma and had to live in an environment free of mold. Like a human.

I had a new apartment and moving expenses were reimbursed within about 3 weeks. The apartment was owned by a large corporation. It was the manager who was a dill weed.


I hope you get this resolved.

Oh ****...I'm drinking water. That's it. Just plain water.

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

Hey.

I am going to speak Finnish while I finish it.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Lawyer up. Or at least act like you're gonna.

Contacting a lawyer today, luckily i can consult with a lawyer for free through my work.

What's wrong with your apartment?

Water inlet to water heater burst, flooded my daughters' room and mold is growing in the drywall.

Tenant in a large complex owned by a corporation. They are going to be paying all moving expenses, I will make sure of it. Also will be reporting to the health department. The people here are a joke and waited for over a week to start checking the walls after they found the leak and the floors soaked. I have 2 girls with asthma and one that is prone to bronchitis. They have an angry papa bear they are not going to want to deal with.

I get you on the papa bear thing. I can endure almost subhuman living conditions. Try to make my family do it and all bets are off.

I've tried a fair amount of smoked beers. Hated them all BUT one. That one was made by the guy at our LHBS and it was just spot on perfect.

The only candy I eat is a piece from the Russian at work. His family sends him a box of chocolates each year and he shares them with us at the yearly engineering meeting. Each one has something inside, but none of us read Russian. He claims one is poison and just evil laughs, then straight faces us and eats one. Don't even care. It's good chocolate.

Ever tried to finish a box of Finnish chocolates while using your finishing hydrometer on your finished beer?
