So Long, Farewell

Yes, it is a glorious Monday. We got to say goodbye to our very least favorite co-worker (light on the worker part) this morning, even though he drove into Bloomington from Blaine (not a real short trip) with the expectation that, not only would he be putting in his eight hours today, but also for the rest of the week and for 3 days next week. He put in his 2-week notice last week and our boss really wanted to walk him straight out the door but his hands were tied a bit...until the rest of us helped to untie them on Friday afternoon when we decided we really couldn't handle one more shred of his bullshit. So, after one of my coworkers volunteered to fill our boss in on what the twerp had been spending his time on since giving his notice, and offering some suitable alternatives for training that would not need to involve him, we were all quite pleased to see him leave this morning. If you so choose, you could revisit this previous post of mine and see that it is, in fact, 'Thorn #2" that is no longer with our company.

If, in fact he really does have this new job lined up (and based on what has been said, we're not convinced he does), let me just say...if you live in the North metro and order from Schwan's...look out, he could be your new Schwan's delivery guy and he's a trip and a half!

F.Y.I. -- Thorns 1 & 3 are both still there and just as thorny as ever, but I guess two thorns are better than 3?
