#424 – In Which a Liberty is Taken

On one paw, Ranger Rooney’s annual inspections, being equal parts OSHA and FWS, are a necessary regulatory encroachment which Bear Lawyer must endure in order to maintain his woodland offices. Furthermore, ol’ Rooney has been known to turn a blind eye to the odd safety infraction or several. (Please Note: No instances of bribery have occurred, nor are they herein implied. Ranger Rooney is simply incompetent and easily distracted.)

On the other, pursuant to all interns’ and associates’ contracts of (largely unpaid) employment with the Law Offices of Bear Lawyer, LLC, (1) all foodstuffs must be stored in the refrigerator in the break glen and (2) any and all foodstuffs stored within the refrigerator in the break bower are the sole property of Bear Lawyer—in which case Ranger Rooney’s opportunistic snacking thereupon represents a gross breach of both general etiquette and codified standards of conduct which BL feels compelled to address, yet dares not.

  1. Definitely BL is on the horns of a dilemma. Unlike those cream horns, which will surely hit the spot with Ranger Rooney. The last 4 years, with limited inspections (and even more limited enforcement) being the rule at OSHA and FWS, pick’ins have no doubt been a little slim. Ranger Rooney’s just making up for some lost time. Although a deep dive in BL’s personal bag does seem a bit beyond the pale.
