Who knew a drawer could cause so much stress

There is a drawer in Tartarus that our Board suddenly (like overnight suddenly) decided needs to be locked every night. The problem? We don't all have keys to this drawer.

Apparently we can't be trusted?
The Hutt and Shoes each have a key on their person at all times. Pterry is given access to a key but must turn it in when she leaves each day. Mr. Ed was informed where a copy of the key is kept but must not carry it around. He must only get it out when the drawer needs locking. That's it. No other keys exist.

Yesterday, the closing staff scheduled was Mr. Ed, Plague, and Speck. The problem? Mr. Ed was out sick. Since the Hutt didn't want to come back in at closing, someone else needed to be made responsible for the key. 

Now, Speck has worked for Tartarus for 5 years. Plague has not even completed a year as a full time employee and hasn't even been trusted with the alarm code yet. Additionally, simply by virtue of job title, Speck was officially "in charge". It seems obvious who should have been trusted with the key. Speck, yes? Of course not. Plague was entrusted with the key. Speck was not even allowed to knew where the key is kept. We don't think Speck could be any more insulted.

We never asked to be invited

Ever find something out and wish you could have remained ignorant? 

We've recently been made aware that there is a Tartarus employee group chat ongoing on Facebook. Apparently our coworkers have formed a sort of supper club. They go out to some local restaurant, drink too much, and talk about work. We have never been invited.

Honestly, we don't care that much. We made the mistake of going out with some coworkers a couple of years ago and it was an embarrassing disaster.

The only reason we know about the new supper club is because of recent staff addition Pterry. When Pterry was invited to join the chat she asked why we were not included. Turtle, who had started the group, replied "they never go to anything extra anyway. I suppose someone else can invite them if they want. I won't."


Several conversations later, someone did add us. No one seemed to realize that we would be able to see the entire conversation, including the suggestions that we remain excluded.

We don't want to be a part of their stupid supper club. We don't want to spend any more time with those idiots than we have to. What angers us is the blatant exclusion.

And after all of that, we've been asked repeatedly if we will be attending the next event. "It will be so much fun," they say.
