Bought the boss a beer

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 😀

Hope your work does not have an issue about Alcohol on the premises.😉

That would cause Major problems at my work.
 
Your boss will be fired for having an alcoholic beverage on the premises and you will get promoted to his position.

It might cause issues if you're drinking at work - but that's his problem not mine 😛
Considering everybody knows about this ongoing bit, and it's clearly presented as a gag, I don't think it will be a problem.

:thumbsup: 😀
Except I don't want his job!
 
Update!121!!!

And what's with people's offices having anti-alcohol policies like that? Almost every place I've worked has had on-site events on Friday afternoons at which alcohol is served. Nothing like sitting down at your desk with a beer on a Friday to wrap up!
 
Oh man I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's 32 oz - biggest they had. I guess the can would've been more ghetto, but they were only 24 oz 😛
