#26. Why Our Boss is Dwight Schrute

Emily: RD is going to Argentina on Thursday

Cristobal: That's what heaven will be like.

Emily: What?

Cristobal: All I know about heaven is we'll be in the presence of God, we won't have worries, and other things I don't know how to interpret...

Emily: like what?

Cristobal: I don't know. Speaking of strange things... the duck-billed platypus. 

Emily: (blank stare)

Cristobal: Did you know a duck-billed platypus is poisonous???? 


Emily: I did not.


Cristobal: yah! A sting from a duck-billed platypus can kill you!!

Emily: wow.. just wow. 

Death by Customer Calls

25 minute conversation with 80 year old lady!

"I have green eyes."
"Banking crisis is bad."
"The housing loan dept screwed Washington Mutual."
"I hope the right person gives you guidance."
"I hope you have a sharp attorney."
"I'm just using you as a sounding board."


I DON'T CARE LADY!!!

New Employee - PK

Well Marni isn't here to haze the new employee, or to give him a nickname.

We'll call him PK. Not because those are his initials or anything.

PK is a surgeon who wanted a career change. He's surprisingly normal for a techie and I think the other techies don't really know how to react to a normal techie. No Star Trek Wars paraphernalia. We'll see how he fares. Cristobal in the meantime is developing what I definitely predicted. A man-crush on the new normal techie. I overheard Cristobal telling PK that "if this deal goes well, we'll all be getting valet parking." Really Dwight Schrute? Valet parking? I think I remember you saying that in 2008. And I didn't believe you then.

Nevertheless, today is family lunch with PK the new guy. Not to be confused with NG, the recent addition to the Office who is also a self-promoting YouTuber. Should be interesting.
