47. He’s Gone
A friend of mine worked for a kitchen supply company that sold large equipment for restaurants. He basically just checked out and didn’t feel like doing much of anything after a certain point. He was in sales, and part of his job required him to fill out reports when he made a sale. He realized pretty quickly that no one would ever check them, so he ended up filling them out exclusively with Grateful Dead lyrics.
No one caught on for quite a while—until he went up for a promotion. During the promotion process, management checked all of his reports and noticed what was going on. They fired him on the spot.
