Y'know, when I first started at my last company, the new individual-pod coffee maker was Big News. And it was yummy. But we broke it, probably because it wasn't meant for such heavy use. And the next kind they got was not nearly so yummy. It was very sad....but didn't make a difference in terms of if I wanted to work there or not! (Maybe it made a difference in my caffeine addiction, or lack thereof. Or money spent at Starbucks...)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The big plus about this job (where I used to temp frequently back in my temping days) is that they have a subsidized cafeteria.
So I just made use of their sandwich bar: whole wheat bread, big scoop of tuna, mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, onion. $2.22.
This same sandwich costs about $5 at the Starbucks downstairs.
The best, though, is their hofbrau line. Different featured roast every day: ham, turkey, roast beef. Every once in a while they do a lamb and it makes the best sandwich ever.

Oh how I still miss the Schwab-ateria and the salad bar therein and, especially, potato pancake day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For some reason I'm picturing a gang of Starbucks thugs entering your cafeteria and smashing the place up....

I was expecting you to say that they serve beer. And I would have died from jealousy.

I'm sure that he didn't mean it in a "you couldn't do it" way, more like a "why the hell would someone as cool as you want to do that" way.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I used to get that same "YOU?" when I told people (our customers!) that I was the director of research for our company.
My boss told me it was because I didn't look like a researcher geek. And then he added, "If they got to know you, they'd see it fits."
In other words, I don't look like a geek, but I sure act like one.
