Back in the daze of being a shop rat
I used to work in a Union shop while I was putting myself through college.
Wednesday nights was dart league night. On the good nights were we were closing the bars down and feeling pretty well lit up, I would call from the bar and leave a message that I would not be in.
My foreman once came up to me and told me there was caller ID and a time stamp for when we call in, and my response was "and?". Contract says I have to call in, not that I have to have a valid reason or be calling from home. Some people were sick on mondays, I was sick on Thursdays.
Another time I couldn't/wouldn't make it in, but the receptionist was there to answer the phone. Told her I wouldn't be in and she asked me WHY I wouldn't be in. Told her my balls itched. That was the LAST time she EVER asked ME why I wouldn't be in! Too friggen funny! :^O
