78 Unkempt Days

I had received an updated list of names for those that needed to attend my call and saw that Cobra was on that list - I wasn't even aware that he had worked for our company - I immediately msg'd Pat and asked if he knew.   The scene flashed to the parking lot just outside of the west entrance doors - as the narration of Pat's reply played.  Said something along the lines of yes - his wife held some get together that allowed him to hook up with some girl (figures) - the wife was a tall blonde and she was carrying a tray of baked goods she had sprinkled some gold flake dust on to as she walked towards the building.  Cobra had long hair, thinning on the top pulled back into a pony tail.

When I walked back into the building towards my desk I had to pass various booths that were set up to demonstrate or sell something.  Turn the corner and I'm asked if I want to try a new energy drink - I politely decline and then Reed passes with a sugar free one in hand - I either said to him, or said in my head - "figures you'd be involved in this"

We got word that they were going to fire cobra for his appearance - which I contested - although I had only just met him today - he wasn't any more unkempt than 50% or more of the people that come in and out of these doors on a regular basis.  So then they said it was for attendance, Pat and I looked at each other and I asked - how much has he missed? - They shouldn't have told us - but the guy at the desk with the personnel folders - fiddled through the file and said "78" days.
