So I’m teaching a class this week, and I’ve got one guy that I can tell enjoys bitching and complaining. And I’ve been enjoying saying things to get him started, because it’s funny to see him get himself into a hissy.

Tuesday, in an attempt to do just that, I say to him “you mean the company hasn’t invited you guys out to a hockey game yet?”, something we of course never do for people who are here to take a course. Well, mission accomplished, he bitches and moans, I have a good laugh.

But he’s not over it the day after, nor the day after that.

Today, my boss’ boss hands me six tickets to the company box for Monday’s game against Pittsburgh. For me and the guys in my course. Hee!

Sometimes evil is its own reward… sometimes the reward is hockey tickets.
