Was just handed the new "Progressive DIsipline Policy" for my employer. I find not that I have been violating Rule 14 for several years. It says:

"14 Reporting to work with an alcohol concentration of less than .04. Random or post-accident alcohol concentratioj of less than .04."

Just to be safe I might slip out and get a beer for lunch!:tong

Thats funny. "Well your Honor, I was only drinking because my companies safety policies require it." Thanks for the laugh.

Well like we often say, "You don't have to be crazy to work here, But it sure makes the day go better!"

And to be very un-politically correct, "We are glad the company hires the mentally handicapped, But why do they all get upper management positions?"

One place I worked, an operator got fired for using drugs. The owner said he had proof, turned out they were doing lines of cocaine together in the owner's truck at the jobsite. Proof.......
