    Not the typical workplace here either... no nakee images, but I do get to keep my team's beer fridge in my office. So there's beer and margaritas within about 2 feet from me right now. 

    I've never had anything blocked online, and shopped around for bras the other day.

    Well lucky you!

    I just got done having a talk with my supervisor.  We're pretty sure we're going to need some Red Bull Vodkas around 2:30 today.

  • Can I come work with you?
    If you'll do the filing so I don't have to (because apparently everyone else isn't clear on the fucking alphabet), yes, you can work here. And I'll buy your whatever alcohol you like...and cake.

    I just like that you have a beer fridge. We don't have a beer fridge. I mean we have a fridge, there's beer in it. We just don't have one dedicated to just beer. We should get one though. That's a fucking brilliant idea.

    Yeah people get pretty pissed when anyone tries to put their yogurt in there. Like, come on people, this is for BEER. Respect.

    I'm a little jealous of your workplaces @magicink and @lolo883 ‌. I don't have a typical work place either but in a nerdy way. Lol. We go around speaking dead languages to each other, can bring out pets (even opossums) with us, we have the most random people come in to help us obtain data, like earlier this year I interviewed the KKK and the other day one of my co-workers was arranging a trip to meet with a voodoo priestess. I'm trying to wiggle my way into the trip because, well, voodoo.
    SO COOOOOOOOL!

    I just want my mom to agree that sometimes we need margaritas with lunch. (Family business)

    WHAT.  OK, it's official, everybody has a way cooler job than me.

    That sounds so freakin' interesting.  You must have the best stories to tell over the dinner table.

    Do you ever have moments when you start explaining something work related to someone outside of work and you suddenly realize...damn my job is weird? I was telling someone about the fact that I'm tattooing a prostitute on Sunday and as the words left my mouth I'm like "this is a weird thing". 

    I was talking about how she was telling me she pays taxes and keeps careful record because if she gets caught for tax evasion the jail time is heftier then for prostitution and I thought that was interesting. If anyone is wondering how my clinet's job got brought up in casual conversation. 
  • @slothiegal‌ yeah I have some fun stories. Most people think they are just nuts though. I don't think people really understand what I do and why it is a thing.

    @magicink all the time. When I was helping my boss obtain data on fringe groups in our area and how they affect our society for a lecture he was giving I was talking about some of the interviews. As I'm sitting there talking about the KKK (worse thing I've ever done for work), Scientology, and followers of the Fae (yes this is a real thing. Fairies are awesome) I'm thinking. "Damn my job is weird".

    I'm seriously considering writing a training course for some of our employees that will introduce them to the alphabet and the concept of what order the letters come in. Also, once that sinks in, I'll include a lesson on how to tell the difference between a first, middle, and last name.  SMH, these people are high school graduates, and some are in college.  Sometimes they get numbers mixed up. (And no, no one is dyslexic.)

  • I want to go to work with @MagicInk. Partly because her workplace sounds fun and partly because I want her to tattoo me. And then we could hop over to @lolo883's office for margaritas and beer.

    I forgot about @magicink being a tattoo artist. I might have to travel so she can do my next tattoo.

    I'm gonna suggest you wait until at least October. In less you've ever wondered what a vacation in hell would feel like, in which case now would be a perfect time!

    I work from home, which is always stocked with wine (pinot or cab are almost always here), beer, and various liquors (currently Fireball, Absolut, and Captain in the freezer).  So if anyone wants to hang out at my workplace, you're more than welcome!

    It would have to be next year anyway. I already spent my tattoo budget for the year.

    I have a picture of a vagina on my wall at work. It's a science-y cross-section, but it's still a vagina. ETA: We also have a collection of champagne bottles in the office and one in the fridge for motivation to reach milestones.

  • Huh. My work, someone posted a picture of a paint can explosion of red oil paint and wrote on it "We didn't spill paint. It's not from a deer." Where customers can see. And there's alcohol in the fridge, but there's pop in there also. And there's nothing censored since the ending of the discussion on certain music videos being porn involved looking up the unedited non YouTube clip. In front of the owner. We're all still employed and there's no net restrictions.

    But I'm willing to join in on a class to teach people how to file properly. I'm debating the merits of breaking out my sledgehammer to teach that. But too many younger people who didn't grow up with "Attitude Era" wrestling entertainment so the sledgehammer doesn't have the impact.

    Usually I do all things clerical in the shop. Which pissed me off at first because I'm one of two women who work here. So what the fuck, is it cause I got a vagina? But also, I'm part owner. One of the other owners is mostly a silent partner, he handles a lot of business stuff/license/ect. And then the other owner deals with day to day bullshit. He's the one we call if there's a problem with anything ever no matter the time of day and he's here. So I'm charge of organization and clerical bullshit. Which makes sense, I love to organize and I was the one who was like "Guys, we need filing cabinets", but I'm getting sick of being the only who files the paperwork. Learn the alphabet and file your damn paperwork as soon as you're done so I don't fucking have to do it all!

    I think it's time I hire someone to work up front. The last person was above filing. I like your sledgehammer plan. I could hit people with it.
  • I love the office stuff. Probably because if I file something, most people can find it. If they aren't being stupid. Try looking for Smith, Joe under S perhaps, not Z.

    It's a hardware store. I legitimately have sledgehammers. And mallet. People are going to learn. Starting with not trashing the break room sink. There's no need to throw coffee grounds around like confetti. I'm just about to take the dumb coffee maker out back and have a sledgehammer based meeting. The children can't keep anything clean, they'll have to not have coffee.

  • I don't really have anything relevant to add to this discussion. @shrekspeare, though.... "But every day’s like gold ring, greybeard, tripping on the mushrooms, blood-mad Nazgul trashing the hotel room. We don’t care, we've got Rivendell across the stream. And everybody’s like mountains, dwarf mines, presents from the Elf Queen, rowboats, rock paths, Gollum on a rope leash. We don’t care. Yeah we’re simply gonna walk in there. Cause we’re going to Moooooordor, Moooooordor." I think I love you.
