Job Security

Today at Seattle’s Best Coffee I witnessed my supervisor casually throw their expired cigarette butt on the ground (which I noticed lay many other butts, all of the same brands of other co-workers) when I challenged this person they just shrugged. Later on when my supervisor told me to go on break, she said, "Before you go on break, clean-up outside and pick up all of those cigarette butts." I chuckled and looked at her realizing she was completely serious. Then I laughed loudly shaking my head and said, "I don’t smoke and I won’t clean-up your cigarette butts." She became annoyed but was wise enough to back off. Seattle’s Best is a second job for me and she knows it so she was unwilling to push too much. Later that day at my main job at the Fabulous Stardust Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, I witnessed one of our wonderfully considerate guests toss a piece of crumpled up paper onto the casino floor. I politely challenged them by pointing out that a trash can sat merely six feet away. The guest shrugged and said, "Job security." and walked away. Hmm, what an interesting coincidence. I told my good buddies Karl Bakla and Chris Blumpkin about this and we immediately fell into the whimsical fantasy discussion that co-workers often do. It went a little something like this... "Hey, job security, pal!" stated the guest with a stiff smirk worn on his face. Adam grabbed the guest and slammed him to the ground then proceeded to kick the guest. "There you go you son-uva-bitch! How’s that for job security!" Adam continued to kick, "Now the Security and the police have job security in arresting me!" The kicks continued, breaking the guests ribs "And the Paramedics have job security driving here and transporting your sorry ass to the hospital!" Adam did not lessen the assault, "And the Doctors and Nurses that treat you." Adam then began working the face shattering the guests teeth, "And the Oral Surgeon that has to repair your teeth! Ha-ha-ha-ha" A mad glint shown in Adam’s face as security tackled him. Yeah, good times. Good times.
