lwoodWhile Monday made an initial strong showing with the promise of lunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
purplevenus and dpaxson, those hopes were dashed when, after parking in a convenient space with a broken meter, lwood noticed that her car, the Trusty Taurus, was copiously leaking a nurglish green fluid that was not in fact Mountain Dew, but rather engine coolant.
Erring on the side of reasonable blood sugar, a fine lunch proceeded to be had by all, but the day was placed On Notice and a written reprimand was issued. An immediate upturn in effort was displayed by Monday, as time spend waiting for the tow truck could be pleasantly spent at a nearby bead store and, while public transit was made a sad necessity, the fact that this happened near a busy transit hub revealed that Monday's position in this week might yet be salvageable.
However, Monday had to be put on written notice a second time around 1830 PM, whencountgeiger had to be admitted to the hospital, netik got hit by a car while himself operating a bicycle, and one of purplevenus's charges was, in an unrelated incident, admitted to an entirely different hospital.
The decision to terminate came some time before the action could be carried out. As a result, Monday's strong, if futile, efforts to retain its position in this week are duly and gratefully noted:lwood, dpaxson, et al wrapped up the day by bottling approximately 20% of one batch of mead. This mead shows promise in its field, and with the right guidance, should prove a credit to its kind.
Monday was reluctantly terminated from its position shortly before midnight PDT.
Due to Monday's erratic performance, Tuesday, which was promoted to the position based on Monday's strong recommendation, will have to undergo stringent review, especially in the areas of medical performance, postal performance, and bureaucratic detanglements of several and various sorts.

Date: 2009-10-14 07:50 am (UTC)I didn't get much sleep last night, but the major worries I had were neck-and-neck "MIKE IS SICK ZOMG!" and "HOW ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS ZOMG!".
Well, the billing minions had it a'splained to them, and said, "Oh! Okay! We'll make a note, don't worry about a thing!" and scurried off. This'll be a COBRA job, but the moment COBRA is paid, it's effective retroactively to 1 October.
So whatever it is, I no longer care. It cannot be more than one COBRA payment, and as I pointed out on my You Should Let Them Admit You, You Blockhead arguments, we'd do that much for the cat.
