Oh I got the joke, and laughed heartily at it. I have a Makita Drill, but not the screwdriver... |

| Just when you thought the clown shoes couldn't get any bigger (from kkina's link above): quote: During the investigation, Oliveira said the employee, who had worked at the agency for 10 years, had a history of confusing drills and real-world events. At least two prior incidents had occurred, after which corrections were made and the employee was counselled.
Sure, let's put a person with a demonstrable record of not being able to tell fantasy from reality in charge of the big red button! What could possibly go wrong? |

| quote: During the investigation, Oliveira said the employee, who had worked at the agency for 10 years, had a history of confusing drills and real-world events. In fact, the worker had made similar mistakes twice before, officials said.
SMH HI-EMA’s Miyagi resigns, ‘button pusher’ fired in aftermath of false missile alert quote: According to Oliveira’s report, the employee has been a source of concern for over 10 years because of poor performance and had been counseled.
Oliveira said the fired employee had confused drills for real events at least twice before, once for a fire and once for a tsunami and had been “counseled.”
quote: The male warning officer, HI-EMA officials revealed last week, was not cooperating with either the FCC or internal investigations into the Jan. 13 event.
Lt. Col. Chuck Anthony, a HI-EMA spokesman, said “there’s really no law” to force the former employee, who was an HGEA union member, to participate in the investigations.
“We did ask for voluntary cooperation. He’s the only one that didn’t cooperate,” Anthony said, although, he said the man did provide HI-EMA with a written statement.
 he fucked up, froze, then called his foreman for advice. |
