We have no milk!

No milk = no tea = bad mood :(

Ok not a proven formula but does occasionally happen.

In the studio we have come up with a geeky way of always having enough milk when we need it most, without having to argue over who’s turn it is to buy it next. The developers created a milk chart on our local dev server. It basically tally’s up who’s bought what and if your at the bottom of the list then your the clown. It’s all a bit of fun of course but nobody wants to be the clown lol

The Milk Chart

The people who use the milk are in the milk list, whose who aren’t are left out.

This weeks cow queen is…

Which reminds me, I better go buy some milk..

    I had a terrible milk experience today. I got to the office only to be informed there wasn’t much milk left, and it was MY turn to buy some. I didn’t even know we were taking turns! Now, I don’t know about you but after crawling out of bed and dragging myself to my computer, the last thing I want to do is drive to Sainsbury’s on a milk mission. Unfortunately even my boss joined in applying the pressure, telling me I could “pop out” if I wanted to. NO! No I don’t want to ‘pop out’ into the cold, I’m not even that fussed about a tea and I resent this whole milk rota situation that’s crept up on me! Argh!

    I opt out of the entire sordid business by just drinking tap water. It works a charm.

    What you all need to do it get jobs where the company will buy the milk. Remember it’s the most important thing to ask at the job interview closely followed by “do *you* have to buy cakes for your work colleagues when it’s *your* birthday”. It always seems wrong to me does that! They should be buying you cakes. Not that I’m bitter or anything.


  9. frog Says:


    I think the cakes situation is confusing and stupid. When you’re a kid you get loads of presents, then gradually as you get older they get fewer and fewer until eventually you’re the one buying the presents, or cakes in this matter. The world’s messed up lol


  10. Piggynap Says:


    Omg, don’t even bring up birthdays – we have a whole OTHER rota for that situation….(another post Frog?)

    I think so, name no name’s though
