Too late to call April Fools! The phone call was real David. I assume the lady's story was too. I enjoy taking stories or other material and fleshing them out for clarity, readability, or entertainment purposes (like making you the west coast travel paper distributor). As for coming up with the stuff from scratch, I have no talent for that. BTW, the reason I "experienced" this situation before was from the school district. As told to me, a temporary shop assistant was coming up for evaluation to determine whether he would become a full-time employee. He came up with his own form of "job security" -- completely dissecting a couple of grands (same idea as the other story). The difference being, he didn't sort or label anything, instead put various parts into different containers around the shop. The idea was novel -- he'd be the only person who knew what components went with which piano, and the locations on/in the piano(s). He failed to consider that there were six other full-time technicians who could figure out the puzzle. The man was fired -- no evaluation, and before I became employed there. I arrived in time to see the results of his efforts, so that qualified as prior experience.
