When Lisa is talking to Mr. Burns at 18:12 minutes, her teeth turn blue on the left, and red on the right.
When Homer is eating his sandwich 14:49 minutes in his mouth he is beardless but when it zooms out he does have a beard.
Homer arrives at work at 3:00pm (fashionably late?), but when he falls asleep and then wakes up he realizes it is 9:30PM, to which he phones Marge and claims "those 12-hour days are killing me!" Homer says at the beginning of the episode that someone punches in for him.
Burns drinks from 5:05 pm until 8:30 pm, but passes Homer at 9:30, meaning he stumbled drunkenly around the plant for a solid hour. Neither Homer nor Mr. Burns notice (or respectively choose to ignore) each others shortcomings, in this case Homer's sleeping on the job and Burns' drinking on the job, as Burns accuses Homer of working late, which Homer does not say anything else and accepts the compliment "You and I are a dying breed." The chance meeting has Burns believe Homer is a hard-working employee who can be trusted, hence the unraveling of the episode.
When Burns starts drinking, the glass disappears for a frame.
