Thursdays #258 (Is it safe?)

[slick]

Hidy-ho from the West Coast. Only 5:15 here and I can't sleep. I'll take a shot of something and head back to bed. **yawn**

Then again......breakfast smells fantastic.
**grabs napkin and puts around neck**
I'm waitin'.

Say TS, want to play some jacks while we're waitin' for brekkie???

Breakfast is served..... omelettes and home fries all around. I'll take you up on that offer of SOS, Lbaker.

I don't mind a unionized orc, I am after all a union official, but I WANTED TO START A FIRE, And ORC pulls out his contract and shows me he's on BREAK! Then tells me I'm a supervisor and I can't pile the @!*()& Wood!

Ah well, time for a cup of spiked coffee.

[smokey the elder]

I have an audit with QA coming up, so I could use some coffee spiked with a little...internal standard!

[Lady's Human]

One WELL spiked coffee one the way, Smokey. (Fort drum special, just for you!)

[smokey the elder]

QA audit went well! Thanks for the Fort Drum special.

[Cinder & Smoke]

HEY!
New Yawk's back!
Finally shoveled your way down the drive and found the main road?

Slip me the next available O'let ... and maybe a FtDS ... I like a good *mystery drink*!

As for the Fire Problem ... do we hafta hire an Assistant Orc to fill in for when the
Primary Orc is on break or vacation? That's gonna hurt our Cost / Fire productivity figure -
Management will wanna make *cuts* somewhere else!

Maybe change the Job Description from "Fire Starter" to "Combustion Process BUILDER" -
and upgrade it to an exempt/professional position? Orc might like a promotion -
wonder how much more $$$ he'll want ... he'd also hafta start wearin a White Shirt anna Tie.
Is there gonna be a Grievance over this?

[Lady's Human]

We CAN hire a supplemental Orc to fill in for the primary, but only on a part time basis, with no benefits, on a lower salary, and with limited hours per week, so we don't threaten Orc's job. The temporc can also fill in for vacations, but no overtime is involved. By contract, the temporc can work no more than 30% of permorc's hours perannum.........

Screwit....

One omelette and a FD Special for Phred and the smokemutts. No, guys, the cup isn't for you, just da hoomins.

Oatmeal cookies anyone?
