jhd Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, reifsnyderb said: It's more rage due to the newfound understanding that I am responsible for something that is completely out of my control I once had a job where I was (unofficially but practically) the "person in charge" on Saturdays. One particular Saturday, I was away from work taking a vacation day. I was in another city, some 150 miles away from my office. This was before cell phones were ubiquitous. A colleague was filling-in for me. Something happened that day (I do not remember the details). Upon returning to work, I was called in to meet the Director who demanded why I did not resolve the problem on Saturday. I explained that I had been physically out of the city, unreachable, and therefore completely unaware of what was going on at work. I was informed that I was still responsible for what occurred on Saturdays, my absence from the workplace notwithstanding. I begun looking for a new position that day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How dare he quit on me?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it was doing was covering your porch in excreta. Now it's leading a productive existence as pet food and glue! Incidentally, any marks on a steak resembling a jockey's whip are purely coincidental. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevymad Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Hate to even dredge this back up, but I was just ordering something online and noticed a shipping insurance. It even covers porch pirates. I have no experience with this, but here it is. https://route.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primary goal of any insurance company is to avoid paying out anything. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
