Thursdays #258 (Is it safe?)

[Lady's Human]

(Checks to see if my key to the bar still works.....)

The anniversary of Viagra and Xrays? Whodathunkit?

Lady, can you see where OK is? It's been a while since anyone's seen hide or hair of it. Why don't you look around? Remember, like Trillian only a different color.

Let's get the COFFEE!!!! going.....do we have enough irish?(Is there EVER enough Irish?)

Orc, durn, where's that remote.......Here it is. Get the firewood in and let's get the fire going.

Omelettes and home fries on the stove, coffee in the pot, we're good for a while.

HEY! Who gave Orc a union contract?

[lbaker]

"just when you thought it was safe to back in water......" Home fries and eggs, OH BOY! I'll just whip up some SOS as long as we're making comfy food. Viagra, Xrays and Union contracts... hmmmm two out of three ain't bad Xrays are quite good and some of us wish we had a Union, so ~ Hi LH, good morning

[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???

[Lady's Human]

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.

[Edwina's Secretary]

HEY! Who gave Orc a union contract?

Just wait til you see the vacation clause....

[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?

[Edwina's Secretary]

SCABS!!!!!!

Get out the pickets signs...... The contract specifies CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ONLY!!!

[lbaker]

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.

[RedHedd]

The contract specifies CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ONLY!!!

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 ....

[Karen]

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!

[smokey the elder]

The "special blue cake" reminds me of a promo my company had when they launched a new drug. They gave out candy bars with the logo, and in big letters on the candy bar, it said "Does Not Contain <Drug X>"(!)
