Thursdays #258 (Is it safe?)

[Lady's Human]

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

[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?

Hi TS, jacks would be fun this afternoon but let's not let Gini play, you know how she cheats at jacks Oh look, I'm all messy from painting picket signs - better go wash off before I get paint all over the Orc. Not a pretty sight to have a painted Orc tromping around.

Darn! I have this special blue cake in honor of today's special anniversary. I know, it's a funny shape but ..... I'm sure it tastes good ....

Hey, I'll cross the line for an oatmeal cookie any day, especially as I know who helped make 'em (that would be Axel, Lady's littlest Human, age 3). Never did believe in coloring within the lines anyway!
