My Hero

SO I show up to work today, and Amanda (My Firend/Co-Worker) is busily trying to write a letter and do her shift changing paperwork.

She was the person who would be working the rest of my shift with me, so i figured I would wait until Adrian had left before enquiring as to the contents of the letter.

Turns out there was an ordeal.

You see we have dumpsters on our site. Dumpsters that we pay to have emptied out every so often.

Now there is also an ordinance in Surrey that determines how much garbage any one address is allowed to produce, and that amount is covered by property taxes. If you produce more than that, you have to pay for it from your pocket.

People often seek to avoid this added garbage fee by dumping illegally. Such was the case today.

Turns out that someone had ditched a sizeable amount of filled garbage bags outside of our store, near the dumpster which we pay for. Since Amanda did not see the person, she figured there was little to be done. And since there was no point to be made by leaving the garbage sitting there she started putting the trash in its proper receptical.

In the process some tearage occured on the part of one of the plastic bags, and along with some ooziness came a letter/envelope, comeplete with address and name.

A short phone call to the operator and she had the phone number for the person who had recieved the letter.

So she proceeds to phone up the person, and, since they didnt answer, she leaves a long message on their answering machine comprised of some very colourful four letter words and some blatant attacks upon the moral fibres of the individual involved in the littering.

So, figuring that she could probibly get in quite a bit of trouble for that, and since she had other things as well to complain about (namely a slacker employee that everyone bitches about but our boss refuses to do anyhting about {asides from politely refusing her requests for raises}) Amanda writes a very long letter to our boss.

Amanda is now my hero. Few people have the unabashed courage to stand up to the assholes in this world. Fewer still have the balls to tell their boss they suck at choosing employees.
