on work ethic…


Work Ethic
Originally uploaded by 😉.

Now here’s something that doesn’t happen every day.

The vice-president of a company I am contracting for just came into my “office” (I’m working out of a conference room) and told me and the other contractor about this thing he’d seen on the news yesterday. Apparently some woman was arrested because she gave her kida marijuana as a reward for doing his homework.

The veep was kind of outraged as clearly the woman was in her own way trying to encourage good study habits. He went on to suggest that perhaps we would implement a policy here wherein if we got our project in ahead of deadline we would be given an incentive program of pot and hookers.

I think he was joking….

    that is fantastic. Any chance of a link to the article on her arrest?

      I was trying to find it to link to, but I didn’t see it with a quick google search.

      While I do suffer badly from MWSS, it just so happens I just saw this on BoingBoing (heh, I kept trying to type BoingBong, read into that what you like) so here you go.

        thank you… it has been added to the entry.

        …and it requires registration. That’s what I get for copying a link without checking it first.

        The BoingBoing write-up has an (uncharacteristically) short excerpt.

          it worked for me… if it’s broken for someone else though, I’ll change the link.

    You should hold out for coke.

      I actually did suggest that if he bought us coke we’d get the project done faster… He said he’d take it under advisement.
