While at work on Sunday I had a lady come through my line. I noticed her package of hamburger had had a hole punched through it. I asked her if she wanted a new package in exchange for this damaged one. She said no she had poked the package herself. I must of looked perplexed...
That is my best description of this co-worker. It has gotten to the point I am getting ready to say some nasty things to him.

Noticed at work that the bags of coffee I bring in were getting lower. I had not been making coffee and our other coffee drinkers make the generic brand we keep in the back. The coffee I get runs between $11.00 to $12.00 a bag depending upon where I buy it.
Had one co-worker suck down 3/4 of a...

My mother posted an old picture of myself with 3 cousins and my sister who does not speak to me on FB. Well I make the joke that my sister was stuffing her face and her old poodle hairdo. We had always joked about that hairdo for years. So I saw no insult in it. It was one of those old perms...
