Now THAT is an idea..........................

Here is another news story I thought I would share:

BRYANT, Ark. (AP) — Police said a woman has been arrested for allegedly slipping some tranquilizers into her boss's coffee because she felt "he needed to chill out." Police said the 24-year-old woman admitted to detectives that she slipped the drugs into veteranarian John Duckett's drink. Officers said Duckett knew something was wrong shortly after drinking some of the coffee Tuesday morning.

Officers said the woman cleaned the cages at the the Reynolds Road Animal Clinic.
A judge set bond at $25,000 Friday and a jailer said the woman was still being held Friday. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 21.

My TOP TEN thoughts??:

1. Oh, I wish I had read this before I retired, I would have HAD to share this with my co-workers for a good laugh. (If anyone from my old workplace is reading this: does it remind you of anyone?!) Our hospital CEO is/was a hyper man, a tad crazy and a Type A on steroids! He still comes to work before 6 p.m. and rarely leaves before 6 or 7 pm. He would call you to meet him about something at Starbucks before 7 a.m. or on weekends.

2. Haven't we ALL had a boss that needed "to chill out"? My last boss? All I can say is: WOW.

Besides all the things listed above, he had (and probably still has) an office wall full of sticky note "ideas" that were color-coded. Need I say more?

3. Her boss was a Vet? I mean, I can't imagine a Vet that needed to "chill out". The animals he cared for must have felt it, because they can sense these kinds of things. I had an Irish Setter once who, the minute we got to the Vet's office parking lot...would stiffen her legs and not walk and we had to drag her in. She'd literally "put on the brakes" and not want to go a step farther. Don't tell ME they can't tell when something at the Vets is not gong to be pleasant when they get there! So, you can imagine how a hard-ass, hyper Vet wouldn't send signals to any animal he treated to try to get the heck out of Dodge.

4. The lady that did this cleaned the cages, for God's sake. I mean....you think YOUR job stinks?! How'd you like to do hers...day after day...???? With a hyper boss? Do you blame her?

5. I'm going to get arrested. Again. For copying this article and blogging about it. I mean allegedly copying it.....

6. Tranquilizers aren't such a bad thing, right? Maybe it was Boss's Day and she just wanted to give him a present? A little trinket for Duckett. Geesh! What's the big deal?

7. Viagra would have been my drug of choice for him. A little F--kit for Duckett.

8. I thought morning coffee at work was supposed to perk you up? (Evidently her brand was a little smoother of a blend). Good, to the last drop.

9. I wonder if her boss has "chilled out" (just from her attempt)? Did he "get it"??? Or, is he even worse now?

10. Wonder how this woman will explain this incident when she goes job hunting for another job? I can hear it now:

Job interviewer: "Have you ever had a misdemeanor, a felony or been arrested for anything?"
Her: "Ummm...well, kind of".
Job Interviewer: "????"
Her: "Well, I had this boss....." "I cleaned cages at a Vet's office, and you see my boss was this maniac...." "I kind of....umm....put a little (just a little) tranquilizers into his coffee one day.."
Job Interviewer: "You did WHAT?"
Her: "I didn't hurt him. I just wanted a few moments of peace and quiet." "If he would have just chilled out a little, I wouldn't have had to resort to..."
Job Interviewer: "SECURITY!!!!".......
