5 Year Old Sings Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues

Sleepwalk With Me

In his theatrical debut, comedian Mike Birbiglia takes the audience on a hysterically funny and intensely personal journey through his struggles with sleepwalking and his reluctance to confront his fears of love, honesty and growing up. Sleepwalk With Me is the rare collision of comedy and theatre that touches your funny bone and tickles your heart.

And when an employee violates this policy the company has to follow through with the defined discipline or the policy loses it's effectiveness.

Well, in this case they fired the employee (as the policy states) and then get all kinds of negative publicity for taking a job away from a good Samaritan. No matter what they do now they are in a no-win situation.
