In this thread, we have an important business meeting.

[Lil' Hannah]

Let's talk about the latest and greatest in the industry. We should alter our paradigm so that we can be more proactive as an organization. We need a soup-to-nuts solution. Let's think outside the box!

[sugar and spice]

We need to talk about your TPS reports. Uh, did you get that memo? It's just that we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before now before they go out now. So I'd really appreciate it if you could just remember to do that from now on. That'd be great.

[amycat412]

We need to talk about which scribe to hire and which helmer will lens the next pic.

OK, can someone make a note of that in the minutes? We'll address it during new business.

I'd like to recommend a more cost-efficient vendor for our coffee in the breakroom, can someone get me a point by point breakdown of what we're paying now?

[mu_agd]

has the fuckin' termsheet been agreed to and signed yet?

[Lil' Hannah]

That's not very professional language to be using in this important meeting.

[sugar and spice]

Let's fire her!

[mu_agd]

well shit, it's everyday language in my office. "typical vc terms" is what we call them! :D

[Lil' Hannah]

We'll have to take it up with HR. Moving right along...

[BirthaBlue4]

Can someone provide the forecast for the cost analysis of employing an outside marketing firm to handle our advertising, or is Bob going to keep printing up those flyers on the Paint program?

[KSigkid]

Why does it say there's a paper jam when there's no paper jam?

[Tom Earp]

What?????????????????????? The Hell are you all talking about???????????????

Is this a normal language!:confused:

I am the Boss, I am a Great Boss!:cool:

Been out of the Corporate shit can for many years, Whew!:D

Have a nice evening!:)

[BirthaBlue4]

PSHAW!!! Of course there will NOT be beer, this is a strict business meeting. You need to consult Chapter 9567, Section 238, Article 2228, Paragraph 990, Line 3 of the Employee Directives to reaquaint yourself with our policy on alcoholic beverages during brunches that are subsequently followed by luncheons at Denny's before productivity meetings. I am appalled and outraged.


























*Whispers*But on the real, Mark drove the van today, the keg is in the back...

[Tom Earp]

OOOOH, that was what was Great about working for a Winery, A Distillary, and then a Wholesaler of Spirits!

We did not have Cocktail luncheons!:D

Yep, otay butt wheat!:D

[Internet Lawyer]

I know this is just a business meeting and that the board meeting isn't until later but I'd like to discuss the following resoultion today in hopes that we can pass it at the next board meeting.

WHEREAS, that the purpose of the break room and the internet is to provide fun and entertainment to our employees; and

WHEREAS, the best way to have fun while bored at work is to chat with your friends, watch classic movies like Clueless and Legally Blonde, and hang out on GC;

WHEREAS, the company and the employees desire to be able to have fun at work by watching fun movies and surfing the internet when they are bored;

BE IT RESOLVED, The Amendment to the Greekchat bylaws presented at this meeting, pursuant to which the bylaws provisions pertaining to fun in the breakroom and on the internet is hereby approved.

[_Opi_]

I think we should get a raise.


2% maybe?

Umm, this is legislation that is on the floor for a vote and is not yet approved. There needs to be a second on the motion on the floor.

*SECOND*

That really was a killer ap you developed last quarter. Let's see how it affects the bottom line, schedule some face time, and we can talk about adding a few more zeros to that salary.

i can make sure it will happen by go-time.

[Lil' Hannah]

I'm going to have to excuse myself from the meeting...as much as I'd like to keep my nose to the grindstone here and burn the midnight oil, I was really firing on all cylinders today, so I'm going to get some R&R. I hope to continue this very important discussion first thing tomorrow.

[Thrillhouse]

I have eight bosses, eight Bob!

[Peaches-n-Cream]

I just watched Legally Blonde. Funny stuff.

[winneythepooh7]

I wanna be in business. Liquid lunches!

[ILLINIgirl]

will there be beer?

No need for beer. I'll just go get the margarita mix outa my desk drawer and mix some up for us in the break room. Then Lil Hannah can stay and we can all get some R&R! Who's up for some?

[Munchkin03]

What happened to my Quark files? :mad:

"Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately."




"I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob!"




that has to be... THE best movie EVER made. :D

[amgn253]

Sorry I'm late. I had a job interview. Nailed it!

[valkyrie]

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe?
Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. Why do you ask?
You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.
Oh... uh... I'm doing all right. I could do better, but... Ohahaha I get it Paul. Back on that old "Time is Money" kick, right?
Not back on it, Joe, still on it.

[Lil' Hannah]

Alright guys, let's bring it in. Another day, another dollar. OK well it looks like Birtha's forecast has been shelved for now, but I'd like a dog and pony show on it for the next meeting. We'll do some number crunching...there may not be a need to reinvent the wheel. mu-agd, are you making any headway on that beer situation?

[mu_agd]

i have been running numbers on a few different brews and believe it would be in the company's best interest to go with the amstel light. if you let me know what time it is needed, i will make sure the distributors have it here. i will them make sure that accounts payable receives the invoice.

Okay, well I've got a meeting with the shareholders today, I'll run it up the flagpole and see if they salute. I'd imagine we'd need it by the close of business on Friday.

[HotDamnImAPhiMu]

Look as far as these travel orders go, I'm really going to need you guys to be on the ball on this one and make sure the numbers for accouting are documented.

Jacquelyn, you bring up an excellent point. There's been a lot of spending unaccounted for on the corporate credit cards. We need to stop this spending before it becomes a brush fire. We really need to clamp down on unnecessary expenses.

[ADPiShannan]

Does that mean you want me to cancel some orders? Mike in accounting wanted me to order him some porn, should I cancel that?

Also the big shot has been putting his private expenses on the credit card. What should we do?

Since I am in charge of spending, Im def seeing a HUGE amount spent on shoes, purses, booze, porn, and strippers. Should we tell everyone to limit it to just work related items?

lol

Maybe we need to form a committee to review spending, see what's a financial drag. Or we could bring in a hired gun to review the numbers. We need some radical, integrated competence here.

[GeekyPenguin]

I just want you in sales to all focus on STAR today - SERVICE TO RELATIONSHIP. Let's make friends with our customers, let's make them need us, and need our product.

Also please remember to SWAT - SELL WHAT'S AVAILABLE TODAY. Let's not be relying on the warehouse.

Our SPH are way down from LY and we need to do $3000 to make plan.

[APhi Sailorgirl]

Originally posted by mu_agd

Any word on whose being looked at. They need to realize the the following items are allotted:
Starbucks
Daily Lunch
Shoes
Makeup/Skincare

Perhaps we should make sure they run the numbers a few times. Just to be on the safe side. I'm thinking this will take at least 6 months. Till then, continue as normal till results can be analyzed and new requirements are in place.

[PoohsHoneyBee]

Speaking of unnecessary spending...Can we get company cell phones?? I really think we need them.

[GeekyPenguin]

I think we'll need to develop and implement a strategic plan for the objectives we'd like to pursue with the consultants.

[APhi Sailorgirl]

Stragtegic plan definitely. Possibly bring someone in for that as well.

Company cell phones, sounds good. Possibly consult someone for upgrading to Blueberries and get the phone subscription?

Anyone get the new memo on the water cooler?

[GeekyPenguin]

I've heard that mu_agd is working on getting a Heineken water cooler for us, but we'll need to double-check that with Acquisitions ASAP. Did anyone get the conference call from corporate? I was on a coffee run so I missed the projectiles for next year.

[amgn253]

So no matter what you do today, ask yourself, "Is this good for the company?"

Oh and by the way, next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day. So feel free to wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

[aephi alum]

As a cost-cutting measure, the IT department would like to recommend that we migrate our existing Windows NT servers to Linux instead of Windows Server 2003.

A license for Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, costs $3999. $3999 can buy a lot of beer. Just keep the beer out of the server room, please.

I think we're working on bringing in some outside forces to solve our little water cooler dilemna. Did you get any leads from the client? It's important to our five-year plan to follow up.

Let's not get into the summer slump!

Moving forward, we should also explore options of having Sierra Nevada and Widmer beer available.

I'll make sure everyone gets a memo on it.

Can you send that memo via e-mail? We're really trying to cut corners here if we're going to challenge the best of breed, and the place to start is office supplies. It's a quick win.

My office would like to request a cocktail watercooler in our area. Votes are undecided on what cocktail yet. I sent a memo around, should hear back COB.

Does this mean my office should NOT send a memo requesting that office supplies be replaced with ones in their favorite color?

Perhaps we need a staff meeting to find consultants for these needs?

[jharb]

I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

Um yeah...I'm going to need you to email me that reminder to email the memo on Saturday.

I'm also going to need you to email that memo to everyone on Sunday too...we've got a whole new group coming in and they'll need to catch up on everything.

[jharb]

We're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?

[ADPiShannan]

Made me spit out my watercooler cocktail. lol.

Being part of the financial dept, it seems that we are spending much more than we are making. Any idea on if any of the work is actually getting done?

As for moving people to the storage area, great idea. I think it will def give us more space for other things.

Anyone up for some shopping for some new office furniture? Im thinking of grabbing some shoes as well, I hear some sales are going on.

and please, don't forget to give me my stapler back. it is causing me much grief to know that you are pretending it is yours.

on the heinekin watercooler front, we are good to go and just need to know when it should be installed. i was able to get the corporate rate for it.

[Lil' Hannah]

OK it's been brought to my attention that some of you are taking liberties with the company dress code, so we're going to have a presentation by the HR director to remind everyone what is appropriate in the work place and what isn't.

No consultants are necessary for the dress code meeting.

We will be "making over" people who do not meet or surpass our dress, hair, makeup and nail requirements.

Can we get the Fab Five in? While Kyan and Carson are making people over, Ted can work on the cafeteria food, Thom can remodel the office, and Jai can make sure we have only the best music for the sound system in the break room...

ETA: Ted can also help us pick the BEvERages for the office. ;)

Also vote has come back. My office would like 2 coolers. One with pineapple juice and rum and one midori sour cooler. These will need to remain plugged in also to keep cool.

We will share with other offices.:D

[Thrillhouse]

I missed out on the birthday cake last year but I am getting a piece this year!

[HotDamnImAPhiMu]

I'm not sure that cake meets the sugar-free needs of our diabetic employees.

Who was responsible for purchasing the bottom-desk-drawer emergency stash of liquor? Because supply is running low and we need to put in a requisition form if SOMEONE hasn't performed their collateral duties this month.

[Lil' Hannah]

I see Birtha would like to expand our OSHA information from the state reg poster to other information pertaining to a comfortable work place. We've really been eating it with all the Workers Comp claims lately, so I'm glad you've got an eye on this. Birtha, you are now in charge of Risk Management and Office Safety. Please refer any questions to Birtha.

[jharb]

I'd like to move us right to our next prospective hire. We had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

[RedRoseSAI]

Did everyone get the e-mail from HR regarding the memo which referenced Section 3, Chapter 2 of the Employee GuidePoints manual? Apparently the presence of a Midori cooler in APhi Sailorgirl's office versus the Hamms cooler installed in Shipping is a violation of our company's Every Employee Counts! initiative. Can we have a meeting to discuss further action at 2pm?

As our company's occupational health nurse, I have invited our city's most renouned plastic surgeon to give free consults for brow lifts, nose jobs and boob jobs this afternoon from noon to 4pm.
All employees who schedule surgeries today will be given paid convalescent leave time and will also automatically be rewarded that 2% raise that has been previously discussed.
Please sign up for a consult time on the paper posted by the midori sour water cooler (which has been plugged in, and is back to a drinkable temperature... tested it myself!)

[lifesaver]

I think the server just went down.

Do ya'll have access to the server? Is your internet up? I cant print now. Can any of ya'll? Has anyone talked to IT to see when the server will be back up? I cant print the reports until the server comes back up.

Well, as the Director of the Office of Employee Science and Health (snacks), I'll see if I can get in touch with the Krispy Kreme's man, to see if we can fill in those holes in the doughnuts with kreme :D and get a better array of morning, noon, afternoon, and evening snacks for the office.

Hmmmm, Kevin's birthday is coming soon, maybe I should see about getting a Krispy Kreme cake, what do you all think? But they'll have to split it up, for the "low-carb Atkins approved" people, the diabetics, those "low-sodium" people, those "high calcium, low-fat" people, and those "really don't give a rat's a$$, pile on the sugar" people. Maybe we should just get several Krispy Kakes, and everyone will go for what they know.

I think my paycheck is wrong. I got my direct deposit statement and they took to much out for my cafeteria plan.

I just wanted to make sure everyone got the memo about pink day tomorrow. If you wear pink you don't have to come into work.

Memorandum

To: The people who drink all the cold Diet Pepsi
From: The person who puts it in the refrigerator
Date: July 27, 2004
Re: You're Fired
____________________________________

I hate breaking this news to you this way, but those of you who continually drink all the cold Diet Pepsi without replacing it in the refrigerator are FIRED! We've asked you to place nicely with everyone else and you've failed and refused. The boss is fed up with your inability to be considerate of other's needs for Diet Pepsi.

As mentioned in my last memo out for the day last Friday, the catch phrases for this month will be as follows:

"Moving forward"
"Sense of urgency"
"ducks in a row" (used with both hands in a direction movement)

Please keep in mind that our Manager is to be applauded for such phrases being used in our office. Please be advised that the more usage of these phrases, the more ass you will kiss daily.

"Moving forward" I will have a weekly memo sent out instead of daily. This is due to the "sense of urgency" to keep our "ducks in a row" as requested by the Manager. :D
