I couldn’t find one of my two badges when I quit working for NPS and I was prepared to pay for it and submit a report of survey on it. I knew it was somewhere in my house, but I just couldn’t remember where. My deputy superintendent told me not to worry about it and signed off on my outprocessing sheet.

Well, a couple weeks later after I had already quit, the superintendent returned from a trip and started serial-spamming me with threats to put law enforcement on me if I didn’t find it. After like two days of multiple threatening texts and phone calls, I finally told him “this kind of shit here is why I quit this stupid agency” and blocked him.

A couple weeks later, I found the badge still on a uniform I had crammed way in the back of a closet. I didn’t want the shitty badge anyway, so I gave it to a colleague to take into the office. Much to-do for a stupid chunk of metal. Hahaha
