It Happened Already . . .

Wow, that was quick. Here I was thinking that I'd post again after lunch, when, BAM! up walks a certain manager of mine.

Think of him like "blog manna."

He proceeds to have an entire conversation with me that was just had on Friday. The EXACT SAME CONVERSATION! I even remarked, that, "didn't we just talk about this Friday?" to which he replied yes, we had. But I had to recant everything exactly as I did Friday.

Keep in mind, the Killer Robot is a professional technician, meaning that after hours work is elective, occassional, and rare. Yet, he must have believed that suddenly, the Killer Robot had decided to come in and perform menial tasks over the weekend. And then, after ascertaining that this wasn't the case, he proceeded to wade through the same questions as Friday.

Side Note: These were not questions that could be asked every day, they were things like "What has to be done on this?", "How does this work?", and "When do you think it will be complete (answered the same both days - May 25th)?" - and they were asked, chronologically, 4 hours apart from a work day perspective!

I'm almost to the point where I could perform my job in about 3 hours a week, this is how much time I spend holding this character's hand.

But if you talked to the mgr on Friday...doesn't that let "them" know you weren't on vacation last week...or...by Friday you mean a week ago on the 11th...or..you're actually time shifting all posts exactly 28 days to throw everyone off your trail.

Except those weeks you post things that won't happen for seven days.

I think the Killer RObor has been trained in this:

SO3102 PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS AND DECEPTION ( 4 - 0 ).

Dear anonymous,

I thought about the day discrpancy. However, one must believe, in that case, that a certain manager of mine would never call someone's cell phone on a day off - this is a falsehood, and should be dismissed immediately. (all) managers of mine do not hesitate to disturb any time I may have out of the office.

It's just a perk of working here, I guess.
