I got 2 amusing e-mails at work today. E-mail #1 informed us that we will be issued ID badges to use to get into our building from now on. The badges must be displayed prominently on our person at all times while we are on company premises. They must be worried that some crazed employee will break in and go on some manic crime spree or something. Hell, most days I don’t have time to leave my desk and go to the bathroom let alone go on a crime spree. And some of those Eastbay workers are dangerous let me tell you.
Amusing (or not so) e-mail #2 informed us that all requests for time off between Nov 21st and Dec 24th will, and in bold print, be denied.

Period. No exceptions. Well, blankety blank blank blank! If they think I’m working on Dec 24th they are crazy. Been there! Done that! Ain’t fun! But the good part about working on Dec 24th is if you’re there til closing time, and it’s time to go home, ya get to hang up on them. Yes!
