Dear Co-Worker

I am completely in awe of your skills on the job. How you can disappear from your work area for an entire day is simply amazing. Even more astounding is how you can do so day after day (after day...ad infinitum) without getting fired. On the rare occasion you do remain in your work area, how you manage to look busy while doing absolutely nothing is beyond my comprehension. I bow to your superior talent.

In answer to your query in the bathroom, no your supervisor was not pitching a fit that you weren't in your work area. On the contrary, he was so happy that he had someone over there who would actually get some work out, that he didn't even miss you. Your co-workers in tubing weren't pitching fits either. They were thrilled that they had real work to do for a change instead of having to spend half the day sweeping and wiping down machines. The sub-assembly brazers were so happy to have headers to braze that pitching a fit was the farthest thing from their minds. Same with the assembly lines. They were ecstatic that they could build their units because for once they had the parts necessary to build them with. So they weren't pitching a fit either.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the only one pitching a fit was the one who had to take up your slack yet again.

Oh, yeah....That would be me.
