| 0:00.0 | A power hungry employee doesn't know that I am the owner. I once owned a computer store with |
| 0:06.1 | one of my friends. As we started to grow we found it was becoming more and more difficult to handle |
| 0:10.8 | all the in-store repairs as well as the out-of-store work that we had coming in. We decided that we |
| 0:15.7 | needed somebody for the front counter. Unfortunately, I went on vacation when my partner had hired her, |
| 0:20.9 | not that this was a problem as we knew what we needed, and I knew he could find someone. |
| 0:25.0 | When I returned from vacation I had some out-of-town work that needed to be done with a high-dollar |
| 0:30.3 | client. This work took another two weeks, so I had not had the chance to meet the new employee. |
| 0:35.5 | The first day back just happened to be the same day my partner started his vacation. I walk in. |
| 0:40.8 | Hi, you must be the new employee. I'm the power madbie cuts me off and says, |
| 0:45.5 | I don't care who you are. What can I help you with? I don't see with the computer. What are you |

| 1:10.2 | She tells me, oh yeah, whatever. I personally know the owner. He hired me personally. I doubt |
| 1:16.3 | he would fire me. Get out of the store before I call the cops. I say, I doubt he would want you to |
| 1:21.3 | treat people like trash. But yeah, that's a good idea. Let's call the cops. Okay, here we go. I'm |
| 1:27.2 | calling them. Great, I say. I pull out my cell phone and I call my partner. Hey, I know your |
| 1:32.1 | vacation, dude, but I think we have an employee problem. PMB, the power madbie, was very rude when |
| 1:38.5 | I walked in this morning. I attempted to tell her who I was, but she wouldn't let me get that far. |
| 1:42.9 | Now she's calling the cops to have me removed. Yeah, I can hand you over one sec. |
| 1:48.0 | Oh, who is this? Someone who's playing the part of the owner now. I know what he sounds like. |
| 1:52.9 | I hand her the phone. She now has two phones to her head. My cell phone and the office phone, |
