LOL
Nice story, Andrew. A few key morals to that story:
1) Don't even pretend that your documentation situation should take
precedence over a global corporate high priority issue.
2) If you ignore #1, don't get your panties in a bunch when people look at
you like you have three heads after addressing your issue.
3) Watch what you say and to whom, as it always does catch up with you.
4) Stay truthful on your resume, because just as #3 is true, people know
people in this world.
Thanks again for the story. It really set the mood this Monday morning. :)
