I got a nice raise a few months ago - my boss & the next level up were instrumental in making that happen of course.
Ever since then, my boss's boss has been nagging me that I owe him a beer. Ok fair enough - except I've offered several times to stop by after work some where, or lunch. Nothing has worked out - I'm only free after work 1 or two days every two weeks.
So, after hearing the "Boy am I thirsty" schtick for the millionth time as he walks past my door this morning :roll: I decided to do something about it
I ran down to 7-11 over lunch and bought one of those huge ghetto bottles of budweiser, and a small styrafoam cooler and a bag of ice - don't want him bitching that it's not cold! Put it on his desk while he's out to lunch!
Will hilarity ensue? We'll see.
[UPDATE
My boss came in about a minute after I posted the last update. Said the boss wanted to see me.
So we went down the hall to his office.
There's the boss, and another guy and 4 cups on his desk. Gave me some B.S. about how glad he was that they decided to promote me, now that I'm finally meeting their expectations of a Senior Project engineer. So we sat around and shot the sh|t for awhile and drank the beer - the other two guys turned him down, so we each had half. Not that Budweiser is all that great, but I'm glad I didn't buy some crap
I'm kind of a lightweight, come Monday, I'm gonna have to take a hard look at anything else I do this afternoon
To top it off, the boss put the empty in the desk drawer of the manager in the next office down
