I may have gotten a summer job that looks pretty interesting. Still waiting to hear back, but they're looking for math people, and as far as I know, I'm the only one who's expressed interest. (It's supervising high school kids doing research, and they get people from all the sciences, but they're trying to get more math and physics people.)
Also, one of my students informed me that he couldn't hand in his homework in class yesterday because his fraternity required that his skip class. He actually seemed surprised when I wouldn't accept the homework late.
I once had an employee who fell asleep at customer sites sitting in front of the computer, and kept resetting his network account to admin privileges, and I couldn't get him fired. Could not. It was my fault for not understanding him, plus I had a personal issue against him.
Yes, I was personally averse to him SLEEPING ON THE JOB and hacking the network. Call me weird. I hate unsupportive management who's perfectly happy to let you do the grunt work, but act on anything? Nah.
Issues.
Eeee, bitty bat bead! Love.

Oh, ffs.

I'll go with whatever the final decision is and make the best of it, but I've made my recommendation and documented the living shit out of it. No one would blame us, except maybe him.
I had an employee who used to fall asleep at his work station. Turned out he was narcoleptic. Not the best thing to be when you work in an electronics repair shop.
My hawmps. My hawmps. My lovely camel hawmps.
I was on a blood pressure drug for a while that I had to take four times a day that unfailingly put me to sleep an hour after taking it. I had to juggle driving around that damned thing and just warned my supervisor that at such and such a clock I would be asleep for 15 minutes. Fortunately, it wasn't an awareness-sensitive job.
If my boss had thought that not sending him to customer sites was a partial solution, that would have been a start. But she was a royal douchenozzle who didn't blame him for repeatedly trying to hack the network security, but blamed me for Flash pages being unindexed by search engines (it was 2001. Of course that was my fault).
God, I've had some not good bosses since then, but please never let one be that bad again.
Her niece is engaged to be married soon, and I've committed to going to the wedding, and it will be the first time I've seen her stank ass in 10 years and I'm already mad about the idea.
