[quote=Anonymous]I work as a contractor for a three letter agency.  I was on vacation, and got an urgent message from one of my project managers that they needed me back for something...there was an emergency at work and they needed me.  Since I am a technical expert, it is possible for that to happen; I searched the news, and saw a couple of things but nothing that would be so urgent to call me back.  But, I left my family behind, paid the change fee for the plane, and flew home.  I get into the office this morning to deal with the emergency -- and found out that the issue was an empty soda bottle under my cubicle which caused us to fail a safety inspection.

Most of what I do can not be discussed on an open line, so it never occurred to me to ask what the issue was.   I picked up the bottle, threw it in the recycle bin, and left.  I left a message with the PM, and am waiting to talk to my line management (I called him...he will be in at 9:00).  My plan is to quit the project (I am only supporting it one day a week anyway).  But, why the F*** could someone else have taken care of the bottle?  I am not excusing the incident, but, I left my family on the oregon coast, and took a red eye home last night.  I am tired and cranky now.[/quote]
