Ohio Official Docked Vacation Time For Stolen Tape

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-beach-for-you dept.

Lucas123 writes "The missing tape, stolen from an intern's car, contained data on all 64,467 state employees, 19,388 former employees and 47,245 Ohio taxpayers. The state believes the incident will cost them $3 million. So after four months of deliberation, the Ohio Department of Administrative Services announced today that they decided to take a week's vacation away from Jerry Miller, their payroll team leader and the guy in charge of the missing data."

    As far as I know, the person who sold 65,000 shares at 1 yen each rather than 1 share at 65,000 yen was just reprimanded, and rather new as well.

    Did I make a mistake in language?

    No, your terms were correct. He was making a pun. Think of how the term "discharge" could be applied to the male sex organ and you'll get it.
