You are right, Gene! We featured his stuff in last week's Wednesday's Wisdom....

Hey, I'm a little slow. 

Thank you Gene and thank you.

 

Guys! I promise I didn't pay him a dime!

Don't ya just love those guys, you even give em a heads up, and you tell them, hey buddy, you got a really crappy review this year, here is how you can save your job, I'll even layout the corrective actions for you, so you can keep working here, and it's as if, you never spoke with the guy, they come back the next day, and act like a fool, and ya just gotta shake your head.

guess so...

guess the 2 hour naps after lunch w/ pay were suppose to be OK...

or raiding the customer's refrigerator...

or taking a couple of their ''cold ones'' for the trip home..

using the customer's facilities...

or breaking the broom because she didn't ''feel like'' sweeping...

or menial tasks were beneath her station...

and on and on it went...

she was laborer...

the customer clued me in and showed me the kiddie camera tape..

she went to the labor board.. I had her arrested for theft and prosecuted...

the labor board dropped the issue like  hot rock...

That's only because he stole Lucy away from me...

 

Yup...Ole silver-tongued sweet-talker...that's me...it was easy considering his hearing problem from the "Big Bang"...

 

 

I find it a little disconcerting than a thread with my name on it(kind of) has evolved into a confabulation about how lazy some people are...just sayin'
