Job Haterism #1
Job Haterism #1:


When I work from 7:00am to 3:30pm,
do NOT tell me that my after work hours doctors appointment is unacceptable

At 3:30 I prepared to pack up so I could make my appointment. My boss comes up, drops a project on my desk, and tells me to take care of it now.

Me: "I'm really sorry but I have a doctor appointment at 3:45. I have to go."

Boss: "I had my appointment at 7:00am this morning. That is before work hours so that I could be available here all day today. I don't see why you can't do the same thing."

The doctors I know don't work at 7:00am. Where do you find this variety??

Me: "But I am off at 3:30pm. A 3:45pm appointment IS out of work hours for me."

Boss: "Do you work only 40 hours a week? No. You are on salary, which means you shouldn't schedule anything during regular business hours when you might be needed."


WAIT,

...what??



It irks me that I didn't even make it out of there until nearly 6:00pm.

Super Troopers Come to Oceanside
As we were exiting the Mission Movie Theater post-Kung-Fu-Panda in downtown Oceanside, our eyes were greeted with a perplexing sight.

At first glance it looked normal enough. There was a motorhome pulled over with two police cars behind it and two scruffy looking guys standing in front of the motorhome getting a ticket written up by two police officers.

-This is where it gets weird-

We're in downtown Oceanside, and parked behind the motorhome is a Highway Patrol car. There is a guy sitting behind the wheel of the H.P. car, but we're pretty sure it was a dummy, because he wasn't moving at all. Parked behind the Highway Patrol car is an Oceanside Police Department car with its lights on. The next thing we notice is that the highway patrol car's front axle is lifted off the ground.

Is that motorhome towing the Highway Patrol car??

As it turns out, the motorhome owners thought it would be funny to tow a fake Highway Patrol car behind their rig.

Too bad the Oceanside P.D. didn't find it a laughing matter. Apparently the car was a little too real.

The only thing that would have fully completed the scene would have been a giant Johnny Chimpo logo on the side of the motorhome and a rabid pet pig....
