Week 3 - Working with idiots
"Work is progressing well;
already the atmosphere at our station is very good. The only problem is the
guys on the table near us are increasingly annoying me. Whenever I look
over, Stan (who joined as after finishing his A-Levels, and already I am a
more senior member of staff) is on the Internet. He usually has eBay up as
apparently he buys and sells imported electrical equipment. If he
concentrated on his work more than his hobbies,
I’m sure he’d be able to progress quicker. What a fool.
On Wednesday some of the lads in the office were doing funny things for
charity. I’m not sure what the charity is, probably wasn’t one. It’s
probably all made up so they have an excuse not to work. Anyway, Eric and
Stan from the next table brought in a load of sherbet, which Eric ate while
Stan span him round in his chair. After about three minutes
Eric was sick all over his desk, I mean all
over it. He was just lucky none of it went on the computer. Although he had
to explain it to William, he got away with it. I can’t believe how slack
William is, its no wonder the London office had a lower like-for-like growth
rate in our Global Funds than our other three main competitors. Sharon
seemed to find the whole ordeal hilarious as well – I thought she was
cleverer than that."
