I'm on a serious integrity kick here
I also got to see what someone's scrotum looks like when it's swelled up to about the size of a grapefruit. But that's another story.
Anyway, the closest I have to a good work story is that yesterday a box showed up, the shipping guy opened it, saw that it was computer stuff and handed it to Mr. Lewis, who among his numerous other duties, is our network person. "I think these are backup tapes," he said. Mr. Lewis pulled one out, and said, "That's no moon..."
Wait, no, that's not right. What he said was, "These aren't backup tapes. They're iPod Nanos." Fifteen black ones, as it happens.
Mr. Lewis didn't order them. Nobody ordered them. It was a shipping boo boo. Unfortunately for everyone, this is a company with some integrity. They don't belong to us, so we're trying to figure out who they belong to so we can return them.
Wait, no, that's not right either. Well, that's part of it, but not the whole story. No, mostly we're just afraid that if we have the wrong package that someone else might have something we ordered.
But if we don't resolve this mystery, we're keeping them. There's about 15 people in the office, 15 iPod nanos, so I'd imagine we'll do this democratically and give them all to the company president who will keep them all. Either that or I'll end up getting one.
Although I already have an iPod that I'm very happy with, but I'm sure if I got another one, I'd find a use for it.
And there it is. The most interesting work story in a while.
