The Mouse That Roared?

After receiving my email, Susan called me Monday morning and said she was very appreciative of the information. She was planning on notifying June and asking her to call her when on-shift if Katherine fell asleep so that Susan could do a "surprise" visit, catching her in the act.

But I told Susan that that might not work out so well since I believed June was complicit if not engaging in the same behavior as Katherine. This didn't seem to surprise Susan, I guess she suspected it. She said she'd make an unannounced visit that night and I suggested around 2:00 am.

But the next day (yesterday) when I arrived on campus for a scheduled in-service, Susan caught up with me and mentioned how she didn't do a spot check and would wait 'till I was on-shift so I could call her when Katherine pulls her sleepy-time mode again.

So no fireworks or drama, this week. No one knows about this Pearl Harbor email except Susan (and Helen, I would guess) and me. As I see it, though, it works out sweetly because now I have the best of both worlds...

I can elect whether or not to call Susan in whenever I feel it is needed. Kinda like having the "football" and the power of deciding when to launch the nuclear missiles. Until then, I can continue to enjoy the subtle corruption of a shift filled with 90% leisure time while enjoying the security of a boss who now thinks I'm totally loyal to her.

And if Susan or Helen ever do pop in to inspect, and they find folks doin' what they're not supposed to be doin', at least I can't be assumed culpable. I gave them warning.
