Tuesday – 20 May 2008
More workdays should start like this:

Paul, one of our VPs, was talking to a few minutes ago. I had been away from my desk and returned to hear say: “…you’ll have to ask Rob about that.” Naturally, my curiosity was piqued. Paul turned to me, nodded to my desk and said:

“Jay (one of our new corporate overlords overseers protectors) was in the office a few weeks ago and saw that picture on your desktop…”

“…he didn’t see you sitting there and he got REALLY worried and started going off about how this office was out of control and needed to get diversity training in here immediately.”

I started laughing. A lot. Then I quipped, “That probably explains why he looks at me so oddly when he walks down the hall.”

, not missing a beat, retorted: “No, that’s just Jay.”

I told Paul that he made my day by relating that story to me.

I’ll have to name Paul today’s Human of the Day for this.
