The story wasn't even finished there.

Best part about it that the guy who called me initially wasn't even an actual employee of temporary employment agency that got in touch with me. In fact, he was just an intern. The woman who was responsible for him was sick on the day he called me. He must have thought something along the lines of "I show them that I can work hard and smart and make something happen without anyone telling me how to do it."

Needless to say, that attempt did misfire. I have never seen or heard from that intern ever again.

Found another job in another company shortly afterwards, so all is good still.
