Yeah. I worked for an Episcopal Presbyterian Hospital, came in of a
Wednesday morning and told my boss, the VP of Finance (and a devout
Catholic), "Dude, you've got something on your forehead".

This is not the reason I am no longer employed by this organization.

In point of fact, said CFO used to routinely steal bubble gum out of my
desk, and at one point, spit a large wad of sour apple onto my post-it
pad when he had to return an urgent page from admin via my desk phone
(he couldn't speak coherently with a huge tangy quid lodged in his cheek).

I didn't hold it against him, he didn't hold it against me.
