Ummmm, if the job started either the 13th or 20th, why did TEB, et al, show up to the job on the 6th? If they simply wanted to clarify the starting date a phone call would have sufficed. Sounds like TEB used this as an excuse to hit the local bar early.
I wonder whether TEB has a DUI record or has been disciplined/canned for being drunk on the job. As often as TEB drunk-posts at DU I suspect both.
