Suzi, if they are doing coke a telltale giveaway would be a sudden increase in paranoia and a bad temper. However, speaking from an HR perspective, an employer has to respect an employee's personal privacy. A company can only act on an employee's job performance and not on why. If they are nodding off at their desk, we can act on that fact, but if they do their work, it wouldn't matter if a friend came in and told us they did a zillion dollars worth of heroin a day. Make sure that you or anyone who has to work with this person documents bad behavior, so you have a list of dates and events. Ask HR what they need to know and they might have suggestions for you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bah. I can't think of anything in walking distance I want to eat. But driving to downtown Evanston seems like such a bother.
I suspect increasing hunger will force a solution....

Though at that point you might check his ass for embezling...
Oh the other hand, I had a sudden increase in paranoia and a bad temper throughout my second pregnancy (while not on cocaine), so. Luckily I refrained from killing anyone, although it was touch and go with evil IT man there for a minute once.
Writing for reality shows isn't under the WGA's jurisdiction. They've been trying to change that, but haven't had much luck.
This sums it up pretty well. [link]
I have a new boiler! It is very shiny. And not leaking toxic fumes (I hope). However, what an expensive yet boring home improvement.
If life were fair, lisah, you'd get a free bathroom upgrade with that heater.
Not only am I on a spicy carb high, but it's really warm in my cubicle. I so need a nap!
Thanks Robin, that is what I figured. It just makes it hard that she doesn't have any on site management and my boss has helped me disengage enough that I'm not privy to most of her mood swings.
It is just hard cause I know others are having to put up with her.
Just remember, you'll be hugging that boiler come February.
