  • Breakroom amenities

    Why does the office microwave look and sound like something out of a cartoon from the 1960s? Is there a small dinosaur in there grinding gears or something?

    And I know I saw that refrigerator go on sale sometime back in the 80’s.  No one would buy it back then, either.

    If you have to stock the breakroom with stuff that came from great grandma’s garage sale, should I be worried about your ability to meet payroll?

  • On parking your Tahoe

    If I find an $80,000 sports car parked 2 feet over the line, taking up the last 2 available spaces in the row, I might think, “Well, you’re an idiot for driving that to work, but ok.”

    But a Chevy Tahoe?

    Let me get this straight; I have to park my average car in the far section in the rain, because your new Tahoe is scared of a door ding?

    Remember the days when trucks and SUV’s were tough, manly things, and proud to look the part? Inventions of American ruggedness?

    “Oh, please, please, don’t scratch my shiny new Tahoe!”
    Pathetic.

  • I want my crappy coffee; I need my crappy coffee

    A person might not be evil for planning a large team meeting in the break room. Or placing a makeshift sign on the door informing me that a meeting is in progress and I am not invited.

    But when said meeting occurs between 7:30a.m. and 9:30a.m. on a Monday morning … I know I am dealing with pure evil. Who in their right mind would place a barrier between dozens of Monday-morning workers and their crappy break room coffee? Too much of this, and a grumpy coworker uprising is inevitable.
