Last of three posts about work, I promise. I just got conferenced into a call with our old buddy Grumpy Man.
Grumpy Man: Right, I’m putting you in on this to talk to their systems guy. Just follow my lead.
Me: Sure.
(click as he adds them into the conversation)
Grumpy Man: Okay, I’ve got Brendan Adkins from development here. Brndan, we’re talking to Ruth and… what was your name, sir?
(cold pause)
Grumpy Woman: Deb.
We got new evacuation instructions for our building today. Before, we had to alternate in the east and west stairwells by floor, which was a pain to remember. Now, the instructions are to go to the east stairwell if you’re on the east side, and the west stairwell if you’re on the west side. You got to whichever stairwell is closest. It’s that simple!
In the last ten minutes, I’ve heard two people come up and ask the Lady in the Next Cube whether we’re on the east or west side.
