David Bookstaver, a longtime spokesman for New York’s Office of Court Administration, has been fired after reportedly inadvertently dialing a New York Post reporter and leaving a voicemail in which he could be heard laughing about how he “barely” showed up to work.

According to the Post, Bookstaver accidentally called back a reporter who was working on a story about his truancy and was heard on a voicemail telling others that he lied to the reporter and that sources’ reports that he often works as few as two days a week were correct.
