Last night in Far Cry 5, I did a mission to blow up a giant statue of Joseph Seed - aka "The Father" - that you can see from all over the game's world. And he came on the radio to tell me he wasn't angry - he was disappointed.

You're not my real dad.

But tonight I have a real-world job, and once again my Livejournal/Dreamwidth has come in super handy, because my boss has asked me if I remember when the big red heater broke at work, and I'm pretty sure I whinged about that exact thing, with a date and everything. Then someone else I work with told me it's because one of the morning women has said that one of the lamps in it blew seven weeks ago and spat hot glass at her, and now she has a hole in her tooth, and she's making a claim against the company. But she never said anything at the time, or made a note in the accident book, or told the rest of us that the heater was dangerous, or we don't remember seeing or cleaning up broken glass. Or anything. Which is super weird. It happened seven weeks ago, according to her, she only told two members of our team about it two weeks ago, and she's just put the claim in to my boss and the company CEO yesterday, which was the first they heard about it. So now I'm checking the dates.

Lol, that is such a dad thing to say though!

~Good luck with the date checking for your job. Sometimes blogging really does help out! It does seem a little odd that there would be so many different pieces of evidence missing from her story. I wonder if she has the dates wrong. O_o

Dad nooo!

Apparently she's being super vague with the dates. Having checked the dates now, some parts of her story sort of add up - but the part that still really doesn't is that if she had this heater blow and injure her 7 weeks ago (apparently roughly what she's saying), why wouldn't she tell us, to try to prevent anyone else from getting injured by it? Or just mention it at all? It's fucking weird, and frankly doesn't look good from whichever way you look at it.

So the glass went into her tooth? Hmm. It is always useful when there is a record in LJ.

My actual boss has spoken to me about it today, and apparently there is some vagueness. I heard a piece of hot glass hit her tooth, and I presumed burned a hole in it - although I'm pretty sure bones don't burn that well. My boss it's a piece of brillo pad (?), or a piece of glass, and they pulled it out of her gum, but that somehow caused her tooth to disintegrate, the problem's definitely with her tooth. Apparently my boss has seen the tooth and there's definitely a problem with it, but...I don't want to not believe her, but the story just doesn't seem to make much sense.
