They took away the old vending machines at work. Now instead of 25 cent sodas, they're 55 cents. Goddamnit!! Gotta get that extra little nickel from me? Screw you!
And the chips are now 75 cents, up from 50.
The new machines are bigger, taking up more space in the already-cramped breakroom, and they're uglier.

They don't have Nestea anymore!!!!!!

MOTHERFUCK!

Two thoughts:

1. 55 - 25 = 30 cents.
30 cents :ne: "that extra nickel"

2. Buy a three window candy machine on ebay for cheap, fill it with bulk candy, leave it in your break room, and use the change from your coworkers to buy your chips?

They charge you for snacks and drinks at work? We just have an unlimited fridge/pantry that gets restocked every day :fawk:

Bryce 04-30-2010 12:34 PM

Extra 5 cents - As in why not just charge 2 quarters, versus me having to put in another nickel.

We're going to boycott the soda machine. The snack machine on the other hand, does have a much larger selection. My anger with the snack machine may have been in haste. It appears that the chip bags are larger. Wanna buy a full bag of microwave popcorn for $0.70?

I guess this is what you get when you work for a multibillion dollar global corporation.

Damn you Jeff!

Braineack 04-30-2010 12:49 PM

when i want a snack at work, i go office by office and see if anyone happens to have a candy bowl out...of course i check the empty offices first so i dont have to actually talk to anyone.

Doppelgänger 04-30-2010 01:13 PM

We have a cafe in the bottom floor of my building....prices are OK and there is a minimum of $3.50 to use plastic...which is a problem when all I want is a muffin and a drink and don't carry cash. I end up just barely spending $3.50. They do have snack machines in the lounge down there which don't have the best selection and the drink machine is always on the fritz.


Meh, I'm looking forward to my interview with UPS this afternoon. Be nice to have a second job to add some cash to my income and UPS offers some damn good benefits.

Eh..I've cut back on the smoking a lot. I bum one here and there at work or when out with friends...no smoking in the car, no smoking at home.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Hit a bear in Georgia and you can take it home under a bill passed Thursday by the Legislature.

The bill, which is headed to the governor for his signature, clarifies that people who run over and kill bears or deer to keep the animals instead of turning them over to the state Department of Natural Resources. Sen. Don Thomas, R-Dalton, sponsored the bill after two bears were accidentally killed in his district.

While people will not have to notify DNR officials if they hit a deer, they will have to give notice within 48 hours if they hit a bear.

The Department of Natural Resources has typically mounted the bears and put them in museums, but Thomas says the agency does not need any more.

I forsee a business venture targeting a niche market for the new law- Creating MadMax-style bumper and brush guards that will impail the quarry to keep it from being flung off the side of the road or going underneith the car. Impailing the victim will also aid in transporting it home for processing.

Ohio has had that for a while. Not bears, but deer. You gotta notify a deputy or a warden, but other than that, the carcass is yours.

Page 61 of the Digest of Ohio Motor Vehicle Laws:
WHAT TO DO IN CASE YOU HIT A DEER
If you hit a deer and cause its death, you may take possession of the deer by
law, as long as you report the collision to a game protector or other law
enforcement officer within 24 hours. The protector or officer will then investigate
and issue a certificate entitling you to the carcass. It is illegal to take a deer
carcass without reporting it.
Who here thinks that if you were to hit a deer with a Miata, your first thought would be "Mmmmm... dinner"?

If my head wasn't taken off when it slid up my hood and into the car with me, it may be my second thought after "goddamn it, my car!" Might as well try to make something positive out of the situation.

Jeff_Ciesielski 04-30-2010 03:31 PM

My little brother hit a deer recently in my dad's truck. I believe the conversation went something like this:

Brother: Dad, I know you told me to be careful with the truck, but I...hit a deer.
Dad: Fuck! Seriously? God damnit! Are you ok?
Brother:Yeah.
Dad:What happened?
Brother: The damn thing just jumped out at me. It actually hit the side of the truck, so it totally wasn't my fault.
Dad: Is it dead?
Brother: Yeah.
Dad: Throw it in the back, I'll see you when you get home.

I worked at a place with a bunch of sheet metal welders. One hit a turkey or something on the way to work. He fabbed up a grill real quick and the fucker was lunch.

I go to dine at a place that used to make a salad with a whole blackened and barbecued quail perched right up on top of it. Fucking epic and succulent. Made me want to go get some quail and make them up with hot wing sauce some day.

I'm hungry now.

I actually hit a deer in 2006 with my Miata. I was driving down to my parents at about 7am to go vote. I was just cruising along a country road at around 50mph with a big ass suv riding my tail. I look out ahead and to the right in a field and see a deer. It starts running for the road. I knew right then and there I was getting hit. I could not slam on my brakes because the SUV would have slammed into my rear end. So the deer jumps over a 6 foot high fence and clears my car. Except for its hind legs hitting and denting my food and fender. I pulled off to the side of the road a little but further down to check and make sure everything was alright. Luckily I was safe. Had I been a foot further forward the deer would have gone through my windshield. On my way back later that day I looked for the deer carcass, but it was not there. I was pissed that it survived. I wanted to get out and kick the shit out of it.

Rocky64 04-30-2010 04:11 PM

I just went and paid rent for next month. This is our second month here. Its nice, and we like it. The landlord says "I cant find your security deposit reciept. Did you pay me a security deposit?" I said "I think so, I'll check my records". So I bring back a copy of the receipt for the security deposit and he says "great. Can I have a copy"

"yeah sure"

Did he just try to "get" me?

He referred to himself as a "business man"

buffon01 04-30-2010 04:17 PM

A scumbag will always be a scumbag, and is not what you know is what you can prove. Trust me I saw this happen to my parents, despite previously advicing to back themselves up with physical proof. Seriously, if you think there could be a chance of someone scaming you when renting a property:

1 Keep receipts of EVERYTHING
2. Take pictures of all the dings and bangs the property might have, that you're NOT responsible of.
3 Make sure the owner of the property acknowleges this dings and bangs
4 Go as far as to write a letter to the owner discussing that you have gone over the original state of the property before being occupied. Have the owner sign this letter, and keep a copy.
5 In case the owner wants to put his finger up your booty it wont be easy.Dont get fucked!

My wife loves having the cats get on top of her desk while she works. They seem to like it too and to show their appreciation for allowing them to get on the desk, one cat left a ball of hair with a chunk of turd in it and the other puked all over her paperwork. Gotta love cats.

Back to the deer real quick...my dad hit one in his stock '01. Turns out the miata is shaped very well to send a deer about 20 ft up in the air. At least that's what the people following him said. Car had a couple scratches, had to fix the headlight mount. Can't even tell now.

Here's my ramble, i just tried to search for an old thread of mine, couldn't find it. So I pulled some chuck Norris thread back up, then I realized that Joe Perez is the man, but Damn does he makes long thread responses! Then I realized I was sitting at a private club bar and I also realized that I haven't renewed my membership in 2 years, so WTF am I doin here? All started cause I thought about since miata is about done, maybe I should build a Cobra R replica, but with twin turbo, or I should buy a 93 Rx-7 and call it a day....
