Victory

My Boss has forgotten the Real Name of the New Employee.

He also fails to pick up his phone when people call, and tends to rely on "speaker".

As a result, the following gem was heard by the entire office this afternoon:

"Well, yeah. We need to get 14,000 cubes of whatzits, 9 gallons of tagers, 14K linear feet of joist screws..."

[pause]

"I can't make it over to pick those up for a while..."

"...If I write this up on a purchase order, can I send one of the field techs to get it?"

[muffled response]

"Great. I'll send...the new guy. You haven't met him yet, but...[gives physical description]"

[muffled question]

"His name? Oh. It's....CRAP. What is his name?! Rennie?! What is the name of the new guy?"

[I pass his door, shrugging]

"Oh, [expletive]. We just call him Cupcake."

Do you think he'll bother to learn the name of the next new guy?

That, my friend, is awesome.

And this: "Well, yeah. We need to get 14,000 cubes of whatzits, 9 gallons of tagers, 14K linear feet of joist screws..." is incomprehensible. I'm not sure you were really paying attention.
