A co-worker and I were talking about that, but I'm not sure if either
of us actually checked it out if we could do it. (Well, I know that I
didn't, I just don't know about Marc.)
In a worst case scenario, if everyone is looking for pizza, and
boston.com won't splurge, I'd be willing to order up a couple of pies.
The drinks is a slightly trickier situation. Boston.com is a New York
Times Company, and its rules for employees is the big huge document
with huge chunks of boilerplate stuff from every other NYT
division. One of those rules is that no employee will have alcohol in
their possession on work time or property. The way I read the rules,
I'm technically in violation if I pick up a case of wine during my
lunch and put it directly in my car. Of course, since the rules seem
to be boilerplate stuff, they are frequently ignored. I don't want to
give an OK, since it I've long since given up using "but everyone else
does" as an valid excuse.
So lets say if we use our conference room, I can promise the pizza's
one way or another, I think we'll have to do without the beer.
