Wastin' Away Again in Cuba Libreville

I'm sure most of the USA is unaware of this, but St. Louis has been thrown back to the Victorian era via a series of thunderstorms. We have been without electricity since Wednesday evening. Luckily we have a generator or else I wouldn't be typing this blog entry right now. It's just like Green Acres... if I want to plug in the hair dryer, I have to unplug the lamp, or else the generator stalls. I am having trouble adjusting to this "electrisicall"(as Lisa Douglas would say).

Oops

Mr. Generator is our friend

Can't make it through a 3-day power outage without junk food and booze:

Mmmmm, Cuba Libres! Who says power outages have to be unpleasant?

Valuable Workplace Lessons, Part 587

Workplace Lesson #3,666: If you work with pranksters, don't go on vacation for two weeks. They will Saran Wrap your office.



They will have enough time to Saran Wrap your office door too...


Workplace Lesson #3,667: Don't trust the boss to keep office pranksters in line.


Workplace Lesson #3,668: After you return from vacation and clear away miles of Saran Wrap from your office, don't be a good sport and let your coworkers wrap you in Saran Wrap. It's also a bad idea to let them wrap you to your chair.


Workplace Lesson #3,669: Don't expect your coworkers to assist you when you are overheating inside layers of Saran Wrap.


Workplace Lesson #3,770: Coworkers will not help you clean up any prankster debris.
