Alright, coffee made, sun rising higher, time to write.
I think it's about time things were made clear regarding drugs and peter.
When i first met peter i was under the impression that he was a really chill guy who didn't do any drugs. he was down, but kind of been there done that kind of dude.
Only after two months of increasingly erratic and just plain bizzare behavior did the other employees and I begin to suspect that maybe drugs were at play. Besides personality alone, he had begun living with a prostitute with a known drug addiction. We were a little worried. Especially since he would bring her to the office whenever he would come to work.
Then one day i come in and i see a glass tube on peter's desk lying half exposed under some schematics. Keep in mind, i never saw him smoke anything, i just saw this tube on his desk. I didn't even know what it was. I knew peter didn't smoke things besides cigarrettes so i was bit curious and picked it up. immediately i noticed a strange unfamiliar odor. the tube had a bulbous end and was covered in what looked like black tar. Now being naive i didn't even know what this was for and thought, "perhap's it's some kind of strange component for a new module, like a vacuum tube or something?". Only about a minute or two later did reality click and i realized it was something a little different. I then asked the other employee to come over and take a look at it. He did. we both weren't very happy.
upon peter arriving to work later that day with jennifer, i asked him "hey, so ah, whats the deal with that crack pipe?" Keep in mind, i don't really know if it was a crack pipe, that's just what i assumed it was. Peter got angry, jennifer looked down, and then peter mumbled some half coherent stuff about something probably not related to the topic at hand. i let it slide for then. later that day jennifer stepped out and with the other employee next to me, i said, "so peter, you made me feel really innocent today, i saw that thing on your table and i didn't even know what it was." Peter then got more upset than before and barked that it was jennifers and that it was none of my buisness.
fast forward about a month. peter in one of his good moods told me that that tube in question wasn't actually jennifers, but rather belonged to customer. i asked if it was a famous customer and peter said no. he said it was a guy who just bought a lot of modules. so i asked, "he just came into the office and was like, mind if i smoke some crack?". to that peter responded something about how it was meth, or something along those lines, not crack. I didn't really believe anything he was saying and just kind of let it slide, as usual.
so there you have it. that's one of the things i found lying next to the half completed m32's and various half scavenged repairs. keep in mind, i never saw him smoke anything, and i'm not trying to imply that peter was using drugs; i'll let his behavior be the judge of that. i'm simply stating what i saw as an employee at plan b. I'm not the only one, the other employee saw and heard everything i did (except that last bit about peter saying it was a customers).
peter i know posting this isn't going to make you happy. but hopefully it will lead to a positive intervention.
all things aside, you have a serious problem. maybe not drugs, but something definitely is not right with you. I'm no doctor and i don't know exactly what is wrong, but please, as a former friend, seek professional help.
now, to the beach!
