Ooooooooooooooooooh, Thatsa 10 !

Okay, tell them this , we’ll give ‘em the holidays the weekends and health Insurance, the 18 hours and the food, stay the same. And as for the beer, yeah, okay I’ll have a Bud.
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:31
I hope that’s 18 hours a week not a day !
poemsandponderings August 10th, 2012 at 23:58
Oops that was the Chinese translation.
campfireshadows August 9th, 2012 at 21:15
No wonder the pyramids look terrible! LOL
Good thing they were not making airplanes.
pattisj August 9th, 2012 at 22:36
They didn’t ask for more money or sick leave.
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:32
You have now become the new top union contract negotiator with six figure salary.
earthriderjudyberman August 9th, 2012 at 23:02
And, what did the king say? “Tut, tut.” (We have come a long way, haven’t we Carl?)
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:33
Remember Steve Martin “King Tut” SNL skit ?
earthriderjudyberman August 11th, 2012 at 10:40
Do I? You bet. That is a blast from the past.
monicastangledweb August 10th, 2012 at 00:04
From what I understand, more beer is a must!
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:34
But they cannot have ye stronge Jamaican drinke .
mj monaghan August 10th, 2012 at 00:16
They could have used the “rolling stones” back then, eh? Would have been easier to move than square ones.
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:35
Ooooooooooooooooh. Another 10!
Sylver Blaque August 10th, 2012 at 00:19
That supervisor better ante up or risk them walking (like Egyptians!)
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:36
Those were nerd dance moves back in the day.
Ankur Mithal August 10th, 2012 at 00:37
They’ve got their priorities all mixed up. Unless the Egyptians read from right to left, in which case beer comes first.
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:37
Astute observation from the business perspective.
jannatwrites August 10th, 2012 at 02:51
And don’t forget the afternoon siestas.
It may be hot with mountains and deserts but this ain’t Mexico.
katecrimmins August 10th, 2012 at 07:29
Gosh! I never had a job that provided beer! Have to call my union rep!
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:38
And pizza and ice cream too !
Maxi August 10th, 2012 at 09:00
Beer? Back in the day. What else don’t we know? Blessings – Maxi
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:44
Egyptians one of earliest to brew beer. They even had beer halls where they played senet(board game) all evening.
Hansi August 10th, 2012 at 09:31
Those greedy damn slave unions.
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:47
Unions are the only advocate the workers have. Dictatorship of the Proletariat ! Workers of the World Unite !
Val August 10th, 2012 at 09:57
Definitely beer!
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:48
Nile flood days should be paid too if work cancelled.
Craig N. August 10th, 2012 at 10:31
What’s the “manna” with them!
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:49
Seems like you’re rolling in dough.
Debbie August 10th, 2012 at 11:42
The “gimmees” started early, didn’t they?!
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:50
Hey, after all it’s hot out there. Let Pharaoh build his own stuff.
Archana August 10th, 2012 at 13:56
No women?
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:03
Isis, Earth Mother of the Nile most important woman of all. I have to be careful to keep my G rating for blog.
Archana August 11th, 2012 at 03:48
Hahaha!
Elliot August 10th, 2012 at 15:11
This sounds like Americans now…
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:51
Then they would include season passes to football and baseball games as additional perk(club house seating of course).
The Conservative Hill Billy August 10th, 2012 at 16:11
And MORE BEER! The only benefit that should be provided to all:)
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 22:28
I knew they’d have your support.
Tony McGurk August 11th, 2012 at 01:46
So that’s why the pyramids took so long to build. That’s a great crane they got there. What about a worker’s cafeteria too???
Carl D'Agostino August 11th, 2012 at 13:25
Please join the negotiation committee.
Angelia Sims August 11th, 2012 at 10:41
I think they need better uniforms too. Lol.
Carl D'Agostino August 11th, 2012 at 13:26
I did not think of that . They do have plenty of linen but it is such a drag with the wrinkles and such.
Deb August 11th, 2012 at 11:08
Get them the beer first then they won’t think about the other stuff they want.
Carl D'Agostino August 11th, 2012 at 13:27
I see you are working for management on this one.
Promenade Claire August 11th, 2012 at 12:56
I wonder if they ever got the extra beer? And would they have been pyramid shapes if they had too much
Perhaps a ‘pyramid scheme” would help.
kofegeek August 12th, 2012 at 15:03
Holly crap..I passed a lot of your post…need 2 weeks to read it all ;(
Carl D'Agostino August 12th, 2012 at 21:35
Glad you are back.
Craig N. August 12th, 2012 at 15:17
Eagerly Awaiting Your Next Post
Carl D'Agostino August 12th, 2012 at 21:41
Appreciate your support of the blog. The blog will remain active but posts limited to 3 a week in most cases during these times.
kateshrewsday August 12th, 2012 at 17:13
That’s a very long list…
Carl D'Agostino August 12th, 2012 at 21:42
Of course. Pyramids last a long time.
lscotthoughts August 12th, 2012 at 23:23
What if I don’t like beer?
Carl D'Agostino August 13th, 2012 at 05:45
Nile iced tea and crocodile soda.
startingoveringermany August 13th, 2012 at 06:28
Right on! Those are are starters.
Carl D'Agostino August 13th, 2012 at 06:40
They little people deserve a slice of the pie too.
startingoveringermany August 13th, 2012 at 07:39
I must agree.
Patti Kuche August 13th, 2012 at 08:09
So much for workers’ rights – not worth the papyrus they’re written on half the time.
Carl D'Agostino August 13th, 2012 at 08:49
Now that made me laugh. Thanks.

Pharoah: “By Osiris, those camels are so demanding! Thank goodness the humans are content to be paid in radishes.”
Carl D'Agostino August 22nd, 2012 at 20:24
I think not. They are not suckers.
pennycoho August 25th, 2012 at 01:00
I always wondered how that whole thing got started, they even got the order of importance wrong. Shouldn’t beer be first?
Carl D'Agostino August 25th, 2012 at 09:52
Charming exotic Greek or Italian women always come first.
