Yesterday , our boss was complaining that - apparently - no one was answering their
phones .
Which was a bit of a sweeping statement , as what he really meant to say , was –
one person who we aptly call Slackpants, who is infamous for just sitting playing computer games and just letting it ring - wasn’t answering his !!!.
So today we now learn that Slackpants has now disappeared to an empty office to ….
……………….and yes you guessed it …………
……………avoid answering the phone…………………
So of course our resident maniac - Fat Al , went around putting all the office phones on to divert to this particular empty office , including Slackpant’s own phone , and of course …….………our bosses ……….too ………………….!!!
Doing it ………What !!!!!
It was ………….Do it Different Day …. …….yesterday…………………………
Now - for those not aware of what that is - it simply means going to work using a different form of transport , and my own previous history includes - a chauffer driven limousine and a “Blues Brothers Police Car - complete with megaphone :)
Which - as long term readers will know - purposely - takes the p*ss out of the
“one day a years greens” , who normally all drive the one mile to work , one person in one car – style , the other 364 days .
So with all this in mind and the fact I always try to go one better every time , what on earth did I have planned for this time , I hear you asking ……………………..
….how about a Bell Huey - helicopter gunship – maybe………………….
…The Batmobile driven by Superman …in a two for one , superhero deal. …….
…..a Sherman tank …….
……possibly an X Wing Fighter piloted by Indiana Jones ….in a bizarre Raiders’ / Star Wars , cross over movie, lovingly crafted in cardboard , especially for
youtube …………………
……or even a dog sled pulled by Lassie , Rin Tin Tin and Scooby Doo :)…
Well - no it was none of those ………………………..
……….errrrr……………..well ………….I must admit ……………………
……..I actually forgot that this event was on , or more likely knowing my colourful history - there was probably a total and utter , press blackout in my general area , by the powers that be……… :)
Which is probably just as well :) ………… although it does gives me a whole year to come up with next years “ brilliant “ ideas ………………………………..
