This is all about when a job goes wrong, when corporate America is left to run things with no responsibility whatsoever. Please feel free to comment and commiserate. I'm sure I'll be in need of a co-author to the book this just _has_ to become.

Got everything / In my mama name / But I’m Hood Rich / La-da-da -- Big Tymers

Remember when we didn't pay the phone bill?

Apparently some other bills have gone unpaid lately. There's a TV in one of the meeting rooms that's always tuned to QVC so Rod can watch it while he works and make sure no new produc have slipped by him. The TV channels come from a satelite dish, and for weeks there was a message running across the middle of the screen that said something about a late bill and that to get rid of the message they needed to call the provider. Now the message is gone because the TV is off because there is no satelite feed. I thought it was frivolous to start, but come on. If your company can't afford a $50 per month TV connection, it might be time to rethink getting satelite radio in your car. (The pres. just had his "administrative assistant" spend a half day doing that)

Then, I found out that there is apparently trash piling up by the dumpster out back because they haven't paid to have it taken away. TRASH! Come on, man! That's practically a utility. You shouldn't be allowed to stay open if you can't afford to dump the trash.

Should I be worried that last onth's bonus (due today) didn't get direct-deposited yet?

Sometimes it is all about those darn priorities!

Who knows, maybe your bonus is going towards paying the bills. :(

Nah. They'd sooner sink it into their own pockets and leave the bills unpaid. When you run your business like you expect the feds to come in and shut the place down next week, you don't worry about such things.
