America: Where Freedom to Litigate Overrides Common Goddamn Courtesy
From CNN.com
"Soon after [Clarence] Stowers found the finger in a mouthful of chocolate soft-serve he bought Sunday at Kohl's Frozen Custard in Wilmington, he put it in his freezer at home, taking it out only occasionally to show to television cameras.
He refused to give it to the shop's owner, and refused to give it to a doctor who was treating [Brandon] Fizer, who accidentally stuck his hand in a mixing machine and had his right index finger lopped off at the first knuckle.
Medical experts say an attempt to reattach a severed finger can generally be made within six hours.
But according to the shop's management, Stowers wouldn't give it back when he was in the store 30 minutes after the accident.
'The general manager attempted to retrieve it and rush it to the hospital,' reads a statement posted Thursday on Kohl's Web site. 'Unfortunately, the customer refused to give it to her and declared that he would be calling the TV stations and an attorney as he exited the store.'
Officials at Cape Fear Hospital said their efforts to retrieve the finger also failed."
Unfuckingbelievable...
Today is El Día de Las Comidas Libres...I got a free breakfast (from Donia), free lunch (from the mosque), and I'm getting a free dinner (from my dad). I love free food.
Sleep deprivation is fun. Watching the season premiere of Family Guy on little to no sleep is more fun.
I may have a (semi-)cool annoucement to post here tomorrow, if all goes well.
I did not get wasted on Cinco de Mayo (05/05/05, no less) because I decided to catch up on sleep. All day.
Still didn't get my job back. Chris (assistant manager) told me to talk to Felicia (store manager), who told me to talk to Steve (district manager). Thankfully, Steve can't really refer me to a higher manager, since it's his call. Unfortunately, Steve is a dick, and he could very likely hire/transfer someone else rather than rehire me. C'est la vie...I left Steve a message, we'll see how it goes.
29 days...♥
Not much else going on. Should be a good weekend.
