Not Cool

Word to the wise: do not be the kind of employee who does the following things.
- Nods your head and says “I understand” when your boss (That would be me.) says, “I am having many beers tonight. Do not call me. The GSM is on call tonight (Saturday).”
- Ask your boss (Again, me.) to spot you $20 until payday and pick up a bottle of vodka when your boss drives 22 miles to the nearest liquor store without air conditioning in her car on a day when the temperature is 96.
- Come to your boss’s house on two different occasions on Saturday evening to use her restroom because you’re afraid to use the restrooms at the baseball complex.
- Mention to your boss that the baseball games you are watching will not be over until 3:00 a.m.
- Call your boss (Me, dammit!) at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday morning after she has had many beers to tell her you’re sick, so you can’t be at work at 7:00 a.m. on the busiest check-out day of the year.
I am so angry that I could cry. But I can’t because I’m too dehydrated.

None of this happened. It was all a bad dream.

I have a red phone to the “wah-mbulance” service if you need to use it…lol.
At least now you know and knowing is half the battle. You need a vacation already.

Very harsh
You gotta do three things I reckon. First, say, right you were hungover not sick, so you have to make up the day when you are next off. Second, don’t disrepect me by acting this way. because if it happens again you are fired, and make a note of this on the personnel file. Third, find out of the person has alcohol problems, (as sounds the case) and put him/her in touch with counselling services/AA.
(PS I followed this link from BG)

SinisterBrit, right?
Anyway, I have to follow company protocol — which means that the employee in question has to either (a)bring in a doctor’s excuse or (b) take a write-up that goes in her employee file. Three written warnings are grounds for dismissal, but I think that’s what she’ll do. I mean, who wants to pay for a doctor’s excuse when all you had was a hangover? The real bitch, though, is that she’s on vacation this week. Grrr. Argh.

Yes, SinisterBrit indeed. I am becoming a cliche if my style is this obvious. I must start championing the cause of something you maybe wouldn’t expect. Say peaceful regime change in Iran ?
Gotta say, loving the blog.

Actually, it took me about eight minutes to figure out who you were. I couldn’t determine for certain from your Blogger profile, although I did see that you were from the UK. You would think that would narrow it down, but it appears that the UK contingency on the WD is more active than the US contingency as of late. However, with my incredible research and cross-referencing skills (!), I figured that the “director of the property company”/stussy88 at Blogger was probably the “surveyor”/SinisterBrit of the WD. See? I have awesome powers of deduction. ;P
