Lazy think they're smart people

Argh.

.. I'm so mad right now I'm glad I'm off work, else I might go fire some people.

One of the company directors got served an expired bottle of water. All because of some lazy sod.

When I first heard about that, I was totally like, "huh? We do not serve bottled water in the office. I have a standing instruction to serve our filtered tap water in water jugs whenever there are big meetings.

After some snooping around, and checking with staff, two nights growing, I found out it was indeed us.

A couple months ago, another Deptarment came by to use our meeting rooms, and brought a box of bottled water for the interview candidates. When their interviews finished, they just left the water on our floor. That was months ago.

Fast forward to now, the ladies, feeling lazy to get water, decided to just serve the bottled water that was just handy.

I got so mad when I found out that.

Then she has the decency to talk back. "But the director doesn't drink anything we serve, so she's ok!"

But that's not the bloody point!!

The point is:

1. You don't use another departments' anything without asking.

2. Check expiry dates!!!!

I'm dozing off as I write this, guess it's I head off to bed....,,,

...water doesn't expire though.

Technically true but when company directors get served something with an expiration date they get.... fussy.....

Also those waters are bottled in China, even if the water itself doesn't expire, there's always the risk of the bottle or the plastic going bad (or whatever) and releasing some whatever into the water.

Ok, I know that this is NOT your point at all, but would expired water hurt someone? I didn't even know bottled water had an expiration date.

That is a very good point. I never thought about the stuff leaking out from the bottle itself.
