Overheard at the office #29

$BOSS asks Sven a technical questions, Sven looks over at me.
$BOSS: Don't ask him, I want to know if you know.
Sven: I don't need to know everything, I've got Alan.
$BOSS: What are you going to do if Alan leaves?
Sven: I'm going with him.
Me: I can probably get you a desk, but I don't know about getting you on the payroll.

The cast of characters

I don't think I've ever posted this.

When I started at $COMPANY, it was manned primarily by Mitch and Glen. Miguel was part time and focused primarily on special projects. Armando is the owner, Daniel was the Operations Manager. Donald, who is Armando's father, mans the front desk. Finally, Max is in Daniel's office doing telemarketing and other sales functions. There was one other employee, Alex, who was still ours but permanently placed with a large client.

Overheard at the office #28

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, lunch was always an event at the office. So one day we're all sitting around the round table enjoying a nice looking sandwhich spread. There's this pair of old, dirty rusted out scissors sitting on someone's desk, I'm sure they came with the building. Suddenly I notice Sven frantically trying to get my attention. I look over and he's pointing at Donald cutting open a sub bun with those scissors.

It's probably one of those you just had to be there moments, but to this day someone brings this up at least once a month and we enjoy a good laugh. In fact, it was a recent conversation with Sven and his instance that led to this post.
