Biggles Wrote:"Vacation"? I've heard the word before. What exactly is this "vacation" you speak of? A God? An MSL soccer team? A treatment for jock itch, hemorrhoids, or that "not so fresh" feeling that I'm told women sometimes get? :confused:
At B&N, Biggles, they insist--=insist=, I tell yez!--the little lambs take what they style "vacation days." Two years ago, about, one guy on my floor said he'd rather work and get the coin for that "vacation" time. New baby, y'see. Well. That kite didn't fly too high. The Store Manager cornered him, whiffleball bat in her hands. Beat his head in like a rotten Halloween pumpkin while the assistant managers cheered her on.
If he'd been one of my Performing Arts staff, I would have intervened. Would have =had= to. But he was a History guy, so I just bit my knuckles 'til tooth met bone. Told the Valued Customers, "Let's move along. Nothing to see here."
You've got to =choose= your fights. Ain't that correct, Biggles?
