Adventures in Employment

Hi, this is Craig. Hard to believe, but my hair and I are now old enough to allegedly be contributing members of society.

I'm working for a large company here in Grumpyville, and after a few weeks someone noticed that I hadn't filled out a certain form and needed to go to HR for it.

So I went downstairs to HR and went in:

Lady at Desk: "Uh, what?"

Craig: "Hi, I'm Craig Grumpy, I was told I need to..."

Lady at Desk: "What? Are you blind?"

Craig: "No. I'm just here..."

Lady at Desk: "SERIOUSLY? You're going to interrupt a fat girl while I'm eating a donut? What is wrong with you?!!!"

Craig: "Um..."

Lady at Desk: "Go away, try again later."

  3. P.S. When you achieve the right level of management, bring HR lady a dozen donuts and fire her.
