October's Disgruntled Employee of the Month: Corey Wintraub, Bartender
GARY NEWBRUNSWICK: Congratulations, uh... Cody... Corey! You're our Disgruntled Employee of the Month!
COREY WINTRAUB: I am?
GN: Yup, you're the one I pick.
CW: Wow. That's great. Uh... who are you? Human Resources or a V.P.?
GN: Yeah, V.P. of Public Relations.
CW: Public Relations? Did Barbara quit?
GN: I don't know who that is.
CW: Do you really work for the resort?
GN: No! I work for Amalgamated Humor, Inc.!
CW: --
GN: Cap'n Wacky?
CW: Sorry, I don't really read comic books.
GN: No, not-- We make-- Jesus, the wooden sailor guy with the pipe?
CW: Oh, yeah, sure. The wooden sailor. Right.
GN: Yes!
CW: They don't... I don't think they own the resort.
GN: I don't care. I'm supposed to be on vacation.
CW: Uh... OK.
GN: And then they track me down and say, "Hey, Gary! We still need you to do Disgruntled this month!"
CW: Would you like a drink, sir?
GN: Gin and tonic. So I says, "Hey, I'm on vacation. And besides, I thought the website was on hiatus."
CW: Coming right up, sir.
GN: And then they say, "Oh, it is. Everything except Disgruntled."
CW: Twist of lime, sir?
GN: Hell no. So I say, "Oh, so EVERYONE who works on the site is on hiatus, except me?"
CW: Mmm hmm.
GN: And they say, "Yep, we like Disgruntled so much, we don't want to miss any. And you already missed last month."
CW: Yes.
GN: And I'm all, "Oh well, I'm soooooo sorry about that! I don't suppose anyone else could've filled in one goddamn time."
CW:
GN: And they say, "oh no, we like the way you do it."
CW:
GN: So I say, "well hoo-freaking-ray for me!"
CW: Yes.
GN: I don't know if they even knew I was being sarcastic. I don't think they cared.
CW: Here's your drink, sir.
GN: Keep 'em coming.
