Much Ado About Nobody

"Last night I met upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today
I wish like hell he'd go away!"

There's just a hell of alot of that going on lately. It seems like nobody wants to show up for work.

Me, I need the job and the paycheck and I don't want to spend all of my extra time up in the captains office explaining why I don't show up.

I'm not singling anybody out. No single person, anyway. We had eight or ten call outs tonight and it left things tight all over the camp. And this has been going on lately for awhile.

Most of us don't come to work to cause problems.

Most of us, I say. There are always exceptions.

But when the regular people aren't in the regular places, it causes problems. Things don't get done right. Paperwork gets fouled up. Stuff doesn't happen when it's supposed to.

If you need time off, fill out a slip in advance.

Don't leave all of us hanging.
