With a recent outbreak in DUI's within the workplace, management thought it would be a good idea to gather everyone up for some "Straight Talk" about it. I was thinking it might be good idea since a lot of folks don't know the big picture of the repercussions surrounding a DUI. What would have really made sense is to outline the court costs, the job costs, the damages to all involved parties, not to mention the time that the company has to waste telling everyone else not to be a complete dip shit like the people who DO choose to get behind the wheel intoxicated.
HA!
Let's recap what ACTUALLY happened. 5 people got up and talked about losing someone in a DUI accident, or being the one who drank and drove and now their whole life is a mess. All in all, 45 minutes of sob stories. No statistics, no money breakdown, nothing tangible. NOTHING!
I bet you're thinking, "Wow, you are a huge insensitive bitch." Nope. I'm not. I'm a person who absolutely hates having her time wasted. So being forced to sit through 45 minutes of sob stories thanks to some folks who made shitty choices irks the shit out of me.
The definition of crazy is repeating a single action and expecting different results. Every week, we're told not to drink and drive and every week, someone still does. So what good did gathering up everyone for 45 minutes of "this could be you" stories? NONE. It just annoyed people, and wasted time.
Seriously, though- what is so hard to understand about the message from the law? Take a cab! Walk! Call someone! Argh!!!!!!!
DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!!
