Tony's been known to have the occasional streak where he's even early for like a week straight, so Nathan could certainly catch up. But Tony's in the zone right now. <strong>Adrian </strong>- Definitely sounds like he'd fit in here. I'll send you an application for him. <strong>Mickey </strong>- You lazy son of a bitch! <strong>Moretta </strong>- My favorite was a coworker at a previous company who was late absolutely every day. Didn't matter if he had meetings scheduled with other busy/important people. He also thought "needed to go to Starbucks" was a legit excuse. He was even late the day that the corporate office sent an HR rep in to fire him. HR guy had to sit and stew for 20 minutes waiting to shit-can him UB – Not gov’t or anything like that, but I have been told that it’s hard to get canned here unless there’s a mass lay-off.

My successor finally fired her. This is why I work for myself -- when people went so far outside of the norm I had no idea how to respond. But you might want to add in some bonus points if one of the contestants is ever confronted about his lateness -- whether it be due to circumstance or simply by someone who just can't stand it anymore. The response to this confrontation will indicate who is destined for greatness. God help me, I was a supervisor in a for-profit organization who had an employee like that.

Intent is half the battle. It's also the easy half. I should have my own contest taking bets on whether I'll actually get it in the mail before Christmas.

I am going to need more stats before I make a prediction. We have a guy here that needs to come to work for you. It's 3 o'clock and we haven't heard from him since 11am. I absolutely LOVE this game.

I think my money will be on Nathan though, I bet he's gearing up for taking next Weds and Thurs off. I see Tony is off to a good start.

Who would tolerate this sort of nonsense? More importantly, do they have a vacancy for a cracker jack graphic designer? I am inclined to vote for Nathan because I once had a cat named Nathan.
