My Boss Is Thinking of Moving His Desk

[Dips]

My boss sits right behind me. As well as doing ownerly-type stuff he also does quite a bit of programming and volunteer work for various industry committees he's on. He wants to move because hearing my half of various phone calls is "distracting." Today's, for instance:


"You need to click on the link in the email I sent."

"No. You don't need to type it in. Just click on it."

"Yes. That's my name and email address. I'm the one who sent you the email. Look in the body for the link."

"The part where the message got typed."

"Yes that's the one."

"What happened when you clicked on it?"

"Oh. Can you open the email on your computer?"

"Basically what I'm asking you is if the email with the link is on your screen or on a piece of paper."

"I'm not sure what Yahoo has to do with this. Let's get back to the email. Are you looking at a screen or a piece of paper?"

"It's not Yahoo, I'm afraid. Is it on a piece of paper?"

"Ah. OK. Can you open it on your screen?"

"Let me send it again. Is your email address XXXXXXX@XXXXXX.k12.XX.us ?"

"You should have it by now. Do you see it?"

"On the computer screen?"

"Good. Let's click on that link."

"Is the installer running?"

"Great. The next thing is..."

My poor boss can't get any work done.

See, now I'd want to be there so I could spend my entire day laughing. Free entertainment is hard to come by these days.

I feel your pain though.
