It's Not For Us To Understand It's For Us To Accept The Responsibility

I was sent to a foreign branch office as interim manager to take over from the manager that was fired. The office staff was loyal to him and I got the cold shoulder. A day later the girl who did personnel came in and asked to see me. She closed the door and lifted her skirt to a totally naked snatch. This is for you, she said.

I asked her why she would do that. She said she drew the low card so she had the job of keeping the manager happy. Did she agree this was a good thing for her to do? No, she was married, but she drew the low card.

It wasn't really possible to talk her out it. Failure and she was immediate ostracized. She came to my hotel, and would not leave. I agreed to let her spend the night, what she told the union was up to her.

That would not do, she had to be able to show her coworkers that she had sex and was my favorite. She was totally given and proved to be a reliable and an affectionate go between with the union. In time she was my favorite, I had never experienced that form of affection. Wrong? Policy wise, yes.

When I returned I had her transferred to the home office, along with her husband. He's displaced, her obligation is now to me. She drew the low card.
