conversations at work

[deird1]

The Boss: "You should work on the boiled lollies documents."
Mez: "There's actually not enough information for me to finish those. Is there anything else I can work on instead?"
The Boss: "No, you should really finish the boiled lollies stuff first. Why don't you just complete as much as you can?"
Mez: "Uh... I've done so. The whole nothing that can be completed has in fact been completed."
The Boss: "Well, why don't you make blank templates for all the boiled lollies documents, so we can fill in all the information once it arrives."
Mez: "...sure."


Document Guy: "What lovely new documents have you finished for me today?"
Mez: "Here are six entirely blank documents, with headings all filled in. And no info."
Document Guy: "Why?"
Mez: "Because the boss asked me to?"
Document Guy: "...do you see these as being useful, in any way?"
Mez: "Nope."
Document Guy: "Okay then."


Internet: *tempts*
Mez: *ignores*


Mez: "Anything else I can work on, Oh Boss?"
The Boss: "Finish the main boiled lollies document - the one on lemon drops. There'll definitely be enough info for that."


Mez: "Any info around on lemon drops?"
Info-Getting Guy: "Nope. Nada."
Mez: "Thought so."


Internet: *tempts*
Mez: *ignores*


Mez: "GIVE ME WORK, OH BOSS."
Boss: "Huh? You've got work." *swans off on holiday*


Internet: *tempts*
Mez: *ignores*


Mez: "Any work you could get me to do?"
Assistant Boss: "No... maybe you could wait until the boss gets back from holiday and gives you more?"
Mez: *sighs*


Internet: *tempts*
Mez: *succumbs to temptation*

Gotta love that kind of day. And by 'love' I might mean 'hate'.

[smurasaki]

Oh, those kind of work days are always fun.

You get paid to do pointless stuff- I wish I had a job like yours. :-(
