Beer does work once in a while. However, it does need perfect comedic timing to make it functional.

Like if you're walking by a classroom and you shout "Beer!" as an answer to a question.

I love the one about the co-worker, and Friday, but they're all so great! There are many co-workers I'd like to slap!

baili said...

Hahaha first one had me dear Debra.

Inflation jumped off so high in previous few months and how to face it is everybody's concern from rich to poor. Hugs and blessings

Boud said...

How we celebrate Labor day? By doing none!

Yvonne said...

All are very funny, but that Yale, You're hired bit hits the spot.

Travel said...

Staff meetings, oh my, I have a post coming up

Busy Bee Suz said...

Yale. Yob! 😜😜😜
Happy Labour Day!

BootsandBraids said...

ROFLMAO ... Yale/Yob

Mistress Maddie said...

I don't miss a lot of that shit! Im sort of on my own at my new job setting my hours and such. But still hate a Monday. Must be why i appreciated the last one.

Lady M said...

Seems like Yale and Yob are winning the day.

Marie Smith said...

These are perfect, Debra. I so hated staff meetings!

Frank said...

Like the guy who went to Yale!
PS Condolences to all Canadians on the tragedy in Saskatchewan

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Frank -- Yes, I hope they catch those two before their murderous rampage gets worse. Terrible situation.

Leanna said...

Went to Yale. That was a good one. I also like the cookie one better. You goin down too MF. These all just made me really happy.

Kirk said...

I'm laughing all the way to the time clock. THEN I'll start crying.

roentare said...

A trippy sort of post. Very funny. Thanks for brightening up my day!

Mike said...

I love the new company cheer.

Ur-spo said...

I am fortunate that I like my work and don't really mind going.

Martha said...

The Blog Fodder said...

These are really funny. I’m so glad I don’t work in a “proper “ job anymore
It’s bad enough I have to deal with people when I go to the shopping Centres these days lol

Adam said...

My jokes often test the hr safety barrier

Guillaume said...

For me it was Labouring Day, also called Just Another Monday.

Moving with Mitchell said...

SO glad this isn’t me anymore. I love the four-year gap for yale!

Bob said...

Jennifer Barlow said...

Hahahaha! These are great, especially the one about going to Yale!

When I was in college, I sat with a friend for a meal. She dropped her head and I was concerned.
"Are you okay, Debbie?"
"I was praying, Robyn."
Oops.

How do we know said...

Why can't you say beer? Thats not fair!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahahaha
OMG I'm laughing too hard.

HAHAHAHAHAHa


The company cheer? Yes.

XOXO

Beer improving the meeting - Reminds me when I first went to the UK for a project and they offered beer and wine with our lunch. I told them that was unusual for the US business lunches. (maybe I just didn't work in the right department)

yellowdoggranny said...

maybe the best collection of memes ever..

Liz Hinds said...

I don't know what that animal is - not raccoon I'm guessing - but I know that feeling!

pam nash said...

Yes - and when I reach that point in the story that slapping seems the best way to end it, I always had to sit on my hands and clench my teeth and afterward take a walk for as long as possible.

Pixie said...

I love that raccoon! Have a lovely holiday.

Bracken Crafts- 100 garments said...

Totally I can identify with this post. Though my line manager would be open to beer at an afternoon meeting (depending on the people attending it).

Rommy said...

I chortled at the giving the boss a cookie meme

Fundy Blue said...

These are hilarious, Debra! It's hard to pick a favorite. It's hard to top the look on Nicolas Cage's face, maybe having to tell HR your joke or the raccoon one. I couldn't even remember Labor Day. I had to go back and look at my journal. Fortunately my brain fog is clearing. Have a good one!

Hahaha! The grape tweet really got me!
