This is a question Karma

Sue Denham writes, "I once slipped out of work two hours early without the boss noticing. In my hurry to make the most of this petty victory, I knocked myself out on the car door and spent the rest of the day semi-conscious, bowking rich brown vomit over my one and only suit."

Have you been visited by the forces of Karma, or watched it happen to other people?

Thanks to Pooflake for the suggestion

Military Karma
So my best friend from High School, College AND Marine Corps OCS, we shall call him Carl, for that is his name. Anyway, after four years in Uncle Sam's Misguided Children (the US Marine Corps) as an infantry officer, he left the Marines and after 5 years, decided to ENLIST in the Army Reserves. For those of you not familiar with the military, he basically was an officer and threw it away to become a Sergeant.

So he goes to Iraq, spends 14 months as a Platoon Sergeant and just this VERY evening, his Commanding Officer came to him and said "After your meritorious service to this regiment, we are FORCING you to become an Officer....again."

He is NOT happy! Poor bastard. He is BESIDE himself! Absolutely HILARIOUS! Now, all that 'responsibility' that he was trying to duck by 'just being a Sergeant' is going to FLOOD onto his shoulders! :)

Ouch!
Though honestly I don't blame him. Some people take orders better than they give them. If only more people were willing to admit to that, rather than selfishly climb the ranks and be a horrible, unbalanced figure of authority, things in general would run a lot smoother.

He should leave and join the Navy! Then when they forcibly promote him, there's always the coast guard! :-P
