Sorry but we can’t risk it. I’m forwarding your termination papers to the proper Oppo authorities. We can’t have an alleged drug addict in our midst.

Oh and they even switched the building HVAC systems off, it was getting very warm in this uber energy efficient building with nothing cooling the near 3 thousand of us!

My college went into lock down due to some suspicious white powder in a bathroom. Turns out it was baby powder as someone changed a diaper on the counter. This was right around the time people were sending anthrax around.

It’s not nice is it, I’m thinking of having some sort of trauma related breakdown this evening and being unable to enter the building again for about 6 months on the sick (I get paid full wages for 12 months if signed off for medical reasons, it can (and has for people I know) be extended beyond that!).

That sounds like a shitty thing to do to your employer.

Are they shipping the rest of the ingredients separately as well?

Yeah but they are still the BEST steaks EVER!!

They are tremendous.

Of course if you’re just going to burn it and cover it in ketchup, you might as well be eating a shoe.

Food starch...maybe they’re trying to limit their carbs?

Can’t be too careful...

I like ketchup with steak, though I do have it medium rare!

Who knows, was very odd. I was expecting it to be protein shake powder one of the many gym bunnies in my office had ordered from Amazon that had split open!

Hot take: I don’t like ketchup at all, on anything.

Indeed. I’ve had people get into arguments with me about it though, because they are so aghast that I don’t like sugar infused tomato jelly.

“But what do you put on fries?”

“Salt, the fries don’t need help.”

Would it help if I said I don’t like peppercorn sauce or other such things poured all over my steak, I only like a bit of ketchup to dip the occasional piece in.
