As the lead carpenter at our Facilities warehouse, I had to supervise a lot of temporary employees from Manpower, Victor, etc. Many of them asked me to write them a reference, in the hopes of getting a more permanent job after they left our employ.
Well, there was this one temp who was a so-so worker, but he was always pestering me for a reference. After about a month, it was lunch hour in the big break room we all shared, and I was working on inventory during my lunch period. Mr. So-so came in the room, saw me working, and asked "hey is that my reference you are working on...?" And I told him yes, he said "well, it's about time..."
As he turned to leave, I called over to another temp who had been there a while, and called out "HEY TERRY, do you spell j--k off with one word or two...?"
The so-so guy stopped dead and turned around, staring at me, as Terry, keeping a straight face, told me, "I'm pretty sure it's two words..." and I went back to writing, as the guy began shaking his head and mumbling under his breath, until I finally burst out laughing, as did all the other guys in the room.
Well, he finally got his reference, a so-so one that he deserved, but from that day on he never, ever pestered me for one again. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
