All In A Day’s Work
IllustrationStory★★★★A frustrating part of any job is having to deal with complications that aren’t really germane to the performance of the job. For example, a policeman in Dallas was working undercover at a high school, trying to bust a drug-ring. In the process of doing his job, he showed up late for class. The teacher sent him to the principal’s office, who gave him a choice: licks or detention. Since the detention hall would interfere with a scheduled drug buy, the policeman had no choice but to take the whipping. Some aspects of a job simply can’t be written into the job description.
The point
An undercover cop must choose between detention that would blow his drug-bust cover or taking corporal punishment instead, illustrating that some job requirements cannot be written into the job description.
