Tricks to play on your supervisor

Many moons ago I had a supervisor that had a pole stuck up his ***. I'd wait for him to leave his office and run in and twist the ceiling light over his desk so it would flicker. He'd come back to his desk and call building services. Between the time he called and they'd show up, I'd sneak in and fix it. The guy would show up, declare there wasn't a problem and leave. I'd go back in and twist it again. After a few times, my frustrated supervisor started making comments about the skill of our building service people which made him even more unpopular with them. After about 10 times they started ignoring his phone calls. He had that flickering light for over a year. We tweaked a few other things in his office and no one ever came to fix them.

Actually shepards pie (grew up eating this a lot!) is hamburger (ground up), along with mashed potatoes,corn and perhaps a vegetable.


In my sweethearts meatlof she used Hamburger, finely crushed saltine crackers,mushrooms,worchestershire sauce, 2 eggs fresh out of shell,salt and pepper!!

In Britain that would be cottage pie, which is essentially the same as shepherd's pie except one uses beef and the other uses lamb or mutton.

And they don't serve it with that weird-ass mint sauce that smells like it should be sweet but is actually just mint leaves floating in concentrated vinegar

His wife had bun-bun???

I don't know why anyone would be weirded out by that, unless the meatloaf sucked.

Technically real shepherd's pie is made with lamb shanks (hence the shepherd).

But my point is that there's nothing wrong with mixing potatoes and meat loaf. Sounds like dinner to me.

Jean Soulard, dans son livre 400 ans de gastronomie à Québec, mentionne : « Selon une théorie mentionnée par Louis Morisset, lors d'une convention tenue à Regina (Saskatchewan) en avril 2007, le “pâté chinois” serait né lors de la construction du chemin de fer pancanadien. Un nombre considérable d'asiatiques y travaillaient ardemment et étaient nourris avec des denrées facilement disponibles et peu coûteuses à cette époque, soit la pomme de terre, le maïs et le boeuf. On mélange le tout pour servir plus vite, et voilà… un mets culturel mythique est né ! »

Spec, while I was always served "Pate Chinois" or "Shepherd's Pie" with ground beef at home, I'm at least aware that this is a modified version of the original dish.

Maybe they were vegeterrian?

In the mid to late 90s, I had a boss who was a total anal-compulsive neat freak. All it took to wind her up was to move things around ever so slightly in her perfectly tidy office -- so her stapler would be imperfectly aligned with her rolodex, one book would be slightly pulled out on the shelf, a desk drawer not fully closed, etc. It would drive her nuts, especially when it continued after she took to locking her door at night. Of course, I was her trusted lieutenant and totally above suspicion, having arranged for a couple occurrences when I was out of town.
