wolf Goes to Rehab (WAS: Tales from the New Nuthouse)

[wolf]

The drunks, unless they are angry drunks, are always better than the junkies.

You can leave a drunk alone at your desk for thirty seconds.

So, I went into boss-dude's office yesterday evening, and said, "So, about my 90 day eval ... you see, I really need new eyeglasses and I haven't gotten an email from HR about filling out all the forms for the insurance coverage and stuff, and, well, i was worried ..."

Boss-dude laughed and said, "You're off probation. I just haven't gotten around to the eval. You don't have to worry. I'm not firing you."

"Phew."

He immediately sent an email to HR to ask about by benefits stuff, and I had an answer back in less than ten minutes. How about that?

You can't blame me for being gun-shy here. I did my last job perfectly for 19 years and got shit-canned for something I didn't do, after all.
