Reason #39 Why I Love My Job.

[Jester]

I know not everyone here loves or even likes their job and/or their bosses, and I know I am in a great situation because I do. Today illustrated yet another reason why.

At the beginning of the shift, at 10 am, I looked at my Rockin' Manager and asked the following:

JESTER: "Do you want me to be honest or to lie?"
RM: "Be honest of course. And what the hell are you talking about?"
JESTER: "I have to tell you, I am NOT hungover today. I am actually still drunk."
RM: "Cool."

And that was it. No lecture. No disciplinary action. No shocked indignation. Why? Four reasons.
1. She's been there before, on more than one occasion.
2. She knows I am going to do my job, no matter my condition.
3. She loves me.
4. She fucking rocks.

Hope y'all have occasional experiences like this!

Reason #39 why we hate Jester.

That's OK Jester, last night I was sitting in a sports bar with my store manager, my store assistant manager, another store manager, my regional manager and the regional manager's boss,the general manager.

Stan Van Gundy came on one of the screens and the GM looked at the RM and sais "Who does he look like?" The RM was confused and had no idea, so I piped up "He looks like Ron Jeremy". The GM's jaw dropped open, he pointed to me and said "That's fucked up." The kicker was when the RM still had no idea who Ron Jeremy is, my AssMan (who is actually a girl) said "RM, don't you have any 80's porn at your house". I thought the GM was going to fall out of his chair he was laughing so hard at us.

Oh yeah, the GM bought and he was expensing the drinks, too.

I love my company.

Sorry Jester, you aren't unique.

It's been proven at my work that you can come into work legally drunk (well, not by proof of breath alyhzer, more like just witnesses to a person stumbling around, slurring words, and smelling like a frat house and a brewery), people can go to the boss about it or fill out a "nark" form (if you don't want to go to the boss you fill out a form on what you think the person is "on" or if they are drunk and why and security sets up a drug/alcohol test asap), and NOTHING will come of it. Because the boss doesn't care!

yes Jester, but have you ever been allowed to drink on the clock?

I got to drink champagne on New Years Eve with a few guests... that was fun

Our department is having a end-of-year banquet tomorrow. All of the grad students are meeting up before hand to...sip some refreshing beverages before sitting through 3 hours of awards and goodbyes and all of that crap (the banquet is really for the undergrads, we're just supposed to be there). We discussed this in front of the Director of Grad Studies. All he did was shake his head and smile. Apparently one of the other grad students is trying to break his record last year of how many mini bottles he can sneak into the banquet itself.

I am so asking for permission to post that on the board at work.

And if I don't get it, then I'll post it on my personal board.

In a similar vein, I found out recently that one of the three managers at my store (I won't say which one, but I think you guys can guess who it ISN'T) doesn't care if you show up for work stoned, so long as you aren't getting that way while at work.

And NO, it's not because I showed up for work stoned.

I WISH I could say more, because there's an awesome story behind my discovery of that fact, but I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Someday, maybe......

A CW once met one of the Managers at a sporting event waiting in line to by some adult beverages. M actually bought CW a beer.
