I AM THE BIGGEST JOHN FAN!
I had an English teacher in the 9th grade who always had a bottle of whiskey in her bottom desk drawer. She was unbelievabley thin and covered with festering sores which she picked. Her name was Mrs. Wall but we called her scabby. Once as a practical joke we snuck into her desk and emptied the contents of the whiskey bottle and replaced it with iced tea. During a class reading of Hamlet she bent down, as was her habit, and suddenly spewed forth the contents of said iced tea across the classroom.
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN

I have never done this one. I did have a co-worker who when assigned a duty meeting the pubic, went out for lunch and had a few drinks. He came back and told the boss that since he now smelled of liquor, he couldn't perform that duty. He wasn't around long after that.

I don't get high or drunk, but we had a young man that lost his job this past summer due to showing up high as a kite on something or other.

Kenny (who is about 20 and VERY handsome; sort of a cross between Johnny Depp and a young Tom Cruise) and his buddy Joe showed up to do the overnight shift at my security job one day and Kenny was in no shape to do the driving that was required of him. One of my co-workers spotted it right away, but Kenny was so persuasive that she put her skepticism on hold and handed him over the keys.

Not much later, he took the company car way out of the area and sped along a residential area, lost control, rolled it over and somehow miraculously managed to walk away with nary a scratch.

According to what I heard, he panicked and walked back to his house where he spent a few hours trying to come up with a plausible excuse. He finally decided to tell them that he had been carjacked and had no idea what happened to the car.

When he returned, the supervisor listened to his story and gave him the benefit of the doubt until the lady that had seen his condition to begin with stepped forward, then he was put on the spot and had to come out with the truth. Of course he lost his job...I'm not sure if they pressed charges against him or not, but the car was completely totaled.

It's a real shame too because I had spent time with Kenny and he was a very nice person...he had a proclivity for using pot on a regular basis, but that particular night he had taken something much stronger and could've lost his life or killed others.

:) Merry

That sounds more like something out of a movie - I can hardly believe it! :P

how things change as we grow up. years back i would call in sick to work if i didnt get high first. now as a nurse i give drugs for a living and they frown heavily on those who give drugs taking them concurrently.
There are many forms of getting high, some acceptable and some not.
example - recently after a saturday from hell in the icu, a patients family gave me a bottle of champagne (a nice one) as a thank you gift, that bottle never made it out of the parking lot, 6 icu nurses who had worked for 12 hours without a meal or a break commiserrated and downed that bottle in the parking lot after we got off duty....... truth be told, i would loose not only my job but my license as a rn for that if we would have been caught, at the time it seemed like a small price to pay, and technically i was getting high after the job not on the job
on the other hand, i know a doctor who has chronic pain and is constantly sucking on a lollipop, a fentanyl lollipop - 500 mcgs. now fentanyl is 80 times stronger than morphine, is he high on the job, no he is able to function and medicated on the job, without this he could not walk or perform procedures.
but the therapist who came in smelling like a bottle of booze, the anesthesiologist who was missing the drugs and tested positive and the nurse who always seemed to be missing her meds and then missing her duties----- totally unacceptable


but what i do off the job is my business

I agree, Audrey, that what I do off the job is my business. I just don't drink or do drugs on the job. Never have and most likely never will.

Not to mention, I can't handle my liquor, so I'm not about to have a drink at lunch. :P

When I was a barman in my youth, I used to 'sample the products', you know, test the drinks just to make sure they were OK for the customers. ^_^ I remember working one New Year's Eve... well, I remember it up until about 9pm - the rest is a blur! :P

Of course, the job I do now does not mix at all with drink or drugs. Anyone responsible for the safety of people who are caught under the influence should face severe consequences.

In my line of work being wasted seems to be common practice. I know of more than a few people who actually do a better job without all of their faculties.

While I don't condone drinking on the job, some people need to either remove the stick from their ass or lighten up and have a drink or two or something. Boring, mother f'ers.

Yeah... like those bloody boring brain surgeons - they should have a few drinks and liven things up a little! As for undertakers - miserable sods. Would it kill them to smile once in a while? :blink:
