I always wondered how that whole thing got started, they even got the order of importance wrong. Shouldn’t beer be first? 🙂

I think not. They are not suckers.

Now that made me laugh. Thanks.

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.
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.

Appreciate your support of the blog. The blog will remain active but posts limited to 3 a week in most cases during these times.

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

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 🙂
Carl D'Agostino August 11th, 2012 at 13:27
Perhaps a ‘pyramid scheme” would help.
Deb August 11th, 2012 at 11:08
Get them the beer first then they won’t think about the other stuff they want.
I see you are working for management on this one.
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.
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.
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.

Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:48
Nile flood days should be paid too if work cancelled.

Unions are the only advocate the workers have. Dictatorship of the Proletariat ! Workers of the World Unite !

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.
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 !
jannatwrites August 10th, 2012 at 02:51
And don’t forget the afternoon siestas.
Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:37
It may be hot with mountains and deserts but this ain’t Mexico.
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.
Astute observation from the business perspective.
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

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

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 .
earthriderjudyberman August 9th, 2012 at 23:02

Carl D'Agostino August 10th, 2012 at 15:33

earthriderjudyberman August 11th, 2012 at 10:40

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.
