    We had an outdoor barbecue on this beautiful Friday afternoon. Now we get to go home early (a surprise).

    That is all.

    We are working at a much reduced rate.

    We just came up with a new "code word"

    Our technicians are notorius for taking breaks on the "crapier" and reading (the paper, mags etc.) Guerilla Warfare is the art of sneaking into the bathroom and dropping a SBD (if possible) and gassing them out of the hole.

    You got a BBQ? The owner of my company told us we suck at a company Christmas meeting.

    We grilled the other day and the boss told us to move the grill so the shop wouldn't smell like burgers:whatthe:

    My dealership BBQs for us every saturday (mainly for the techs). This is awesome.....but....we have an incompitent griller. With many Rolex 24 Hours, Sebring 12 Hours, and grill-outs at my house I've had to take over for because my dad gets way to hammered, I've got plenty of grilling experince, yet they won't let me do it b/c I'm a tech...

    I got a burger today that was burnt on the outside, pink on the inside, I threw it back at the dude grilling.

    At my job they have a cheap grill, and cook hot dogs and stuff. They're supposed to be for the customers, but the sales guys and techs usually snap most of them up. I usually end up grilling. I had to fix the damn thing today in preparation for the summer. If anyone needs a propane grill fixed, I'm now an expert!

    Dang, my family didn't get the word.

    Um, my outfit doesn't buy us food unless we have an after-hours meeting that is mandatory. :twisted: And we haven't even had one of those in a while.

    we don't do anything like that.. and when we do, my department winds up doing all the work to prep it (except for the actual grilling)

    However, I do get to work in a pool enviroment half the time with very nicely shaped young ladies who wear bikinis as their uniform
