    Asking for my job back?

    You, my friend, have done what I call "screwed the pooch". If you want to continue to be employed I would counsel you to put your head down, close your mouth, prove yourself a reliable employee and...
  9. At least there's a provision that covers negligence. Let's hope the Kentucky BON actually does its jobs if a situation like the one the Tennessee BON so horribly bungled ever comes
