mmm Cheese

So Waltek left me in charge of the cheese. I think we will start with a baked brie wheel. I've always wanted one of those. I'll give it a walnut and caramel shell and throw it in the oven for 15 minutes and serve it with crackers.

mmm delicious!

So Mr Bob got me a lovely gift for my birthday. It is a stained glass window. We will put in our real house (mmmmm...chomp..chomp) once we have one. I think it would be nice to a library with stained glass (I think I need a couple more crackers) windows all round. The window (chomp..chomp) is of irises (one of my favorite flowers).

You really should try some of this brie, by the way. There's half a wheel still here.

In other news, I laid down the law with my minion and told him that I expected him to be here 8 hours a day, not 5, not 3. He insisted that
a) Other supervisors were flexible
b) Snorfle, snorfle
c) he was paid a stipend, not hourly
d) he worked after he left and studied till midnight all the time.

As he had made almost no progress on the work I left him a week ago, I told him I was not impressed and I didn't (mmmm, caramel) care how hard he worked if he didn't get anything actually done.

It turns out he has a second job, but that doesn't matter (according to him) because he can work on this job while he was at the other job.

I was very direct and told him this was not acceptable. He promised to be a good a minion from now on.

Now everyone, have some umm.. well, there is a cracker left...

Mmmm...brie...

Lucky you. Smart Mr. Bob.

Poor you. Stoobid minion.

My cousin's company just fired all three of their summer students for taking a group nap outside on company time.

Just to make things that much worse, summer positions are given to the children of employees. Boy, are their parents embarrassed.

LOL at Seana's minion story.

The first rule of minion-hood is to not get caught taking a group nap. Naps should be done individually underneath desks (where you have a better chance of not getting discovered) Sheesh.

HD is right, Bob. Your minion is a tool. Hmmmm, maybe you should tell him naps are good. :-)

*giggles* that Bob knows what to do with Brie.

I have a friend who makes stained glass stuff. She made me a really cute mirror five years ago, and I still haven't hung it in my real house.

I have at least moved it close to the place it will be hung.

Weltek always have enough cheese for everyone. Just sayin'.

I knew Weltek shouldn't have put you in charge of the cheese.

I love stained glass. My BIL has started doing it and I'm working on getting him to make me one of my five cats.

Good for you for laying down the law with your minion.

*picks up the cracker that Puffy dropped and inspects it for dust bunnies*

Happy (belated?) Birthday, Bob!

*steals the cracker from Nookies hand* Friends don't let friends eat off the floor, honey.

HD knows a little bit more about my minion from our meet. I may have ranted a teeny, tiny bit.
