Manager K recently came on as the manager for 2nd shift (my shift) and he's proven himself to be fairly cool and understanding about things.
He also can crack wise about things. As just happened today.
We've got multiple issues going on with profile servers and mail servers, etc. In the midst of a rush of calls, I get stuck on a couple of unrelated calls that nonetheless take a little bit longer for me to troubleshoot and send on. After I'm done with these, K wanders up.
K: "Jay, I'm gonna need you to, when we're in the middle of a rush of calls like this, need you to take more calls than you're taking."
J2K: "Yeah, I would, I just got stuck on a couple of these--"
K: "Yeah, if you could take about three calls a minute, that'd be great."
I see he's just busting my chops now, so I have a little fun, too.
J2K: "I would if I could, but I'm still waiting to get my super speed and psychic power upgrades approved."
K: (smirk)
J2K: "I dunno if insurance will cover it, see, 'cuz it's elective."
K:
I think K and I are going to get along fine.
