    This is a new one for me too. I have never heard of a beer cart at an office. If I had I might have considered another line of work. And in the interview I would have definitely made this statement... "I only have one question for you. Does this job have the benefit of a beer cart?"
    i wanna be the beer cart operator. i would deal only in the finest hops and barelys money can buy.

    i became a stupid truck driver w/ bad knees and a bad ticker. i shoulda been more into being pampered a bit and chose a inside cushiony type task such as sittin on my balls all day slammin 40s and being like george costanza.
    It was a present from this visiting Chilean delegation, they didn't even need to bring anything really. Damn near all the guys were freaking gorgeous, that was a gift enough in itself :D

    We had this one guy here, rest his soul, he was so awesome, he had a bottle of Hennessy on his desk and every so often I'd notice it getting emptier :lol:

    I think there is a beer in the fridge here, but I will be a good girl lol

    It appears that the difference between the Beer Cart and the Beer Fridge is the limit.

    Beer Cart, it seems, limits you to what's on the cart.

    Beer Fridge, on the other hand, is quite large. And it also contains fancy sodas and boxes of wine. And there's even something champagne like in there.

    I love my job...

    No worries, Chad. I'm pretty sure that if there's any abuse, the beer fridge will go away.

    Looking around at my colleagues, I don't think there will be any abuse.

    I'm not sure they feel the same level of reassurance when they glance my way...

    That's what I'm saying. I wonder how easy it would be to teach the abc's after knocking back a six pack? Do you think the order of the letters really matters anyway?

    i remember this one time...

    our boss set a goal for us

    we met the goal

    and she took all of us out to lunch at Claim Jumpers

    I had Filet Mignon

    and then she gave us all the rest of the day off...PAID

    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    ...they installed a beer fridge and stock it with fascinating beverages.

    Currently I am enjoying a Goose Island Mild Winter.

    :wave: Chicago!

    Sounds wonderful!

    We had a potluck earlier this week. There was a sign up sheet...and I signed up for "cookie balls". I saw my boss looking at the sheet and laughing..he said "I thought you signed up for cocktails..but it says cookie balls" :crazy: :?
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    This is new to me too - the only "drinking" we were permitted was our annual Christmas lunch.

    and that was only ( 1 ) drink per employee.

    Aren't you a nurse?

    If I remember correctly when I was talking with you in Hartford, I distinctly recall you saying you were a nurse or worked in a hospital.

    Is this still the case? Not that I have a problem with it or anything. just think that would be something they would frown upon. Did you ever come into work with a nasty hangover and help yourself to a little hair of the dog? 8-)

    At my interview for this job, my now manager slipped in the fact that we had a beer fridge for whenever you had to work past 6pm...

    I accept your offer.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
