Usually employees deliver bad news via text. Well, except the guy who was in 
jail. Twice. I’m not sure if they allow texts from jail, but he didn’t.

Pro tip: If you get in a fight with your lady and then a car chase where you 
pass a cop while you’re drunk doing 90, and pull over, make sure you pull over 
into a parking lot of a hotel, not the lawn itself. Otherwise, you have to go 
with the guy who pulled you over. Also, you won’t be showing up to work Monday.
