Bitchin in the kitchen
Bitchin in the kitchenIn any work place, you can walk into the floor kitchen and get a good understanding of the employees that work on the floor. At least the passive aggressive ones. In my former workplace there were messages taped on microwaves, fridges, walls, cabinets, you name it and there was a message about it. I breathed an easy sigh of relief when I came to this floor and saw no messages. The kitchen appeared to be a passive aggressive free zone - and perhaps somewhere I could cook my food, get my water, and even eat in silence.
No longer is that the case - today there was a sign posted and I am almost offended by it:
"Listen up, the ol' Gunny's gonna give it to ya straight with no chaser!
If you take the last of the coffee, MAKE MORE!
And a little bitty skim on the bottom DON"T COUNT!
If you use it up, replace it!
Take the paper roll of the holder and put a new roll on it!
Go to the other kitchen if you have to - you could use the exercise, if you know what I mean!
and what in blazes is stinkin' up the refrigerators?
If you put something in there and it is coming back to life, kill it and dump it!
We may have a few miracles around here, but not in there!
Now, if there are no questions, carry on!"
Forget it - after re-reading it with all the colloquialisms and grammar errors I am offended. I am sure they meant to be funny - but it's just offensive. And to top it off they used the color printer to make copies.

As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
