I hit the door, trying to go for the window. explain to the boss that it must've been that shellfish I had last night, apologize and offer to take the car to get it detailed after the meeting. I do mention that technically, it would be a write-off since we were on company business. :)

Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT

I make another drink and sit at a different window. I'm 100% positive that if the shoe were on the other foot, they'd do the same thing for me. Absolutely nothing.

Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT

Opinion Response: I make sure to spill on the envelope too, and explain that I had to make a sudden stop in the car, upsetting my drink onto the envelope. I then decided to open it just to glance to see if the papers were also ruined, which of course they were. Sorry about that, boss.

Week 7 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Rowan
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT

Opinion Response: Yes, of course I join him. That's a quarter of a million dollars. I would have a few stipulations: I assist only under condition of absolute anonymity. I also warn this new guy that if anything goes wrong, I will sing like a canary about his plan, because felonies don't look good on me!

Week 6 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Zeeee
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT

Opinion Response: As I slowly come out of my daze, I sit up, I mention feeling like a boxer after a fight and ask for ice. I take a couple of innings on the bench, then I belt the next one out of the park.
We'll talk injuries at a later time, if I need to see a doctor.


Week 5 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Nobody (off this week)
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT

Opinion Response: I go in to work as usual, and strike up! a conversation within the snitch's earshot about how the potential clients were dazzled with our product line. I would also make sure snitch heard that the clients had to bail early, so I called my hubby and some friends to the restaurant to celebrate. Of course, I closed the expence account tab and entertained my friends on my own dime, because it wouldn't be right to misappropriate company funds for personal gain. Then turn and ask snitch why s/he was there all alone last night? Mock pity for the solitiude and loneliness I saw in thier eyes.

Week 4 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Gem
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE

Opinion Response: You call in, explaining how the tire on your car is flat as a pancake, and triple A is going to be another 1/2 hr before they show up to fix it. I have no spare, so I cannot change it myself. Show up with donuts, bagels and OJ for everyone so there's no hard feelings.

Week 3 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Had Monday off last week, no vote
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullx.gif (871 bytes) INCORRECT

Opinion Response: I show the boss the plane tickets, explaining that I've been working so hard recently that I felt a bit burnt out, so I did the healthy thing and planned this 4-day weekend. I then go on to explain the statistics showing that mini-vacations have been proven to rejuvinate a person. Letting someone have 2 days off is certainly costing the company less time and money in the long run than doctor and psychiatric expenses.

Week 2 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Sam
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE

Opinion Response: You suggest an "offsite meeting" with that manager on Friday night. After 4 margaritas, you suggest to the manager that your job may be in danger. Quickly change the subject to a shot of tequila... we need one. NOW. After you buy that shot, start shooting names of the MDE's (Most Dispensible Employees) in your department and just ! watch the body language do all the talking. If you hear no body language talking, it's probably you.

Week 1 Assignment Status:

Voted To Fire: Had Monday off last week, no vote
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE
Question: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETE

Opinion Response: My response would be "You know, boss... My husband drove a delivery truck for 8 years. Generally, those drivers have no respect for the customer's property. I'd have the warehouse guys keep a closer eye on those truck drivers if I were you." Meanwhile, warn your buddy to pocket the butts from now on.
(Moral of the story: Blame someone you don't know. Because I probably contributed a few of those butts too!)


Registration Question:
"Your best friend (and co-worker) has been seen idling at the mall on company time by the company snitch. What do you do to help your friend out of this untimely jam?"
Gem's Response:
"Corner the snitch and bring up how the friend was sent to the mall by the boss to pick out a birthday present for boss' spouse."
