wednesday while having lunch, me and a good buddy of mine had a drink and then went back to work. for some reason that put me in a really nice mood and time passed fast
 
Thank You for your confession, Luke. We could not figure out why you looked Dazed after lunch. Consider this your official pink slip. We do not tolerate alcoholisim in employees.

hahaha, i think i will be all right. it was one of those deals where for 10 dollars, you can get a pint of beer and a cheeseburger. those kind of deal are all over where i worked, so people there have to be drinking during lunch or something? i dont know.
 
i can't see why a company would give a sh!t about you having a pint over lunch, thats your own business (obviously different if you are driving heavy machinery/flying a plane/any job which requires a .000 BAC legally)wouldn't even put you over the limit to drive anyway...

or am i missing something here?

Yeah, the contract you signed when you took the job.

I've never done it at my job, but i'm almost 99.99% sure my boss here wouldn't care. Probably one of the reasons why i'm still at this job, even though i'm way underpaid (people and environment are good... what other job can i game and answer the phone once in awhile... yesterday i was answering the phone once every 2 hrs)

is it a common part of a contract (never had a contracted job, still a student/casual farm labourer)?

All jobs requires signing a contract... usually things that stipulate break hours and company policies.

Odd. I don't ever recall doing that.😕


same, i just turn up on the farm, work for however long, add up my hours and get paid 😉
 
I'd be seriously fvcked if I did that. I'm actually not allowed to drink 24 hours before work. But, I don't drink so it's really not a problem for me.
 
That sort of thing is very commonplace and not forbidden at all over in Europe, I hear.

I've had a drink with my lunch during work before. I agree with the sensation. It's pleasant, I enjoyed the rest of my day, and my productivity was equal to or greater than normal. What's not to like?!?!?!

24 hours?! Most PDs aren't like that, are they?
 
I wish that at my job there was mandatory drug tests for every employee,not just us
people with CDL's.

Do drugs get fired,YEAH BAby! Sounds fair to me!😀

Because of having a CDL;a dwai is .02,and DWi for a CDL is .04.instead of .08.........

If I go to a party,and people start smoking weed I leave;
my luck the next day at work I would have a random drug test!🙁
 
its one drink, no big deal. but i can see where this might head though. next thing might be a drink everyday. and then i am bringing a flask to work. haha. oh well, it's a one time thing, i dont feel like spending 10 bucks for lunch

Not sure, but mine is.
 
I can't get away with that where I work.

I've done it before though at other jobs, usually with my boss, and it is nice. :beer:
