If you failed miserably at work and then told your boss

[BOSSHOG]

"I've only been working here for 233 days" what would your boss do? As a former Chief Petty Officer in the world's greatest Navy, I can tell you I'd get my ass kicked from CINCPAC to CINCLANT and the same would happen to any of my Sailors (by me).

Note to bush: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IS A GOOD THING.


CINCPAC - (Commander in Chief Pacific) (Atlantic)

[VLC98]

1. Good one!! n/t

[laruemtt]

2. amen. note to sleeza:

"you're fired!"

[nedlogg]

3. I've been saying this all along .

When was the last time you were given 233 days to come up to speed on a new job?

[Nay]

4. Funny ! I got about 233 minutes to get up to speed in my job. . .

and I was learning new software.

5. and if YOUR miserable failure resulted in 3,000 deaths....

you'd get a hell of a lot more than just an ass kicking. The very least you would do is apologize. The very least.

[Skittles]

6. I would have been fired

I started on-call less than two months after starting this job.
