   When the direct approach fails, use subterfuge.

   So why does she have the mega-screen while Jay has the micro-screen?

   You left off the “d” on “could” for Jay.

   Subterfuge, isn’t that the thing they use to seperate things of different densities? I don’t know, my head is spinning.

   Some of the big wigs in the global telecom company I retired from are like that. It wasn’t like that when I joined in 1971. When I was new, old timers would say to the new people “go downstairs and get a bucket of dial tone.” Now the new people could say to management “we need a gallon of dial tone” except the new people are being worked to death and being micromanaged by clueless control freaks.
   BTW, the original radios back in the 1920’s had drip pans for the grid leak detectors.

   We asked new hires to go get a dotted-line pencil.

   I didn’t work for that one, however, the one I worked for (after being bought and sold several times) is now the #3 telcom. They are headquartered in the same location as Duck Dynasty, which explains their management style.

   Because life isn’t fair and the workplace only intensifies that fact.

    Interesting photo on both monitors. What kind of animal is in the picture on the wall? It seems to have long ears like some kind of rabbit. That wallpaper is something else, too.

    I borrowed that image from my brother Jim. He created it in his computer. It’s a kitchen for one of his characters. I believe the portrait is of a mouse headed fellow.

    Could is missing the “d.” Best way to get Rita out of their hair.

    In the military those were called “sleveless errands”. “Get a bucket of propwash” – “bring me the cannon report” -. The old timers were aware of the gag and when a new guy asked them a “gallon of unobtainium” they would senf him to somebody else who would send him to somebody else and so forth. My brother was in the Navy and got sent on several of these when he received his first assignment. When somebody told him to bring them a “bucket of monkey shit” he was convinced it was another of these gags. So rather than waste his time running all over the place, he headed over to the galley and figured he would enjoy a cup of coffee. Nobody would be expecting him anytime soon. He got in trouble because this was a real assignment. “Monkey shit” was military slang for the cosmoline grease they pack rifles in.

    Working in a similar sales office I think I would have just told her to leave.
