I am old again
Jun. 1st, 2015 02:02 pmThere's a daily huddle at work where they make announcements and take questions.
Today's Baby Manager in Charge: (announces changes to parameters for care dispatching network tickets)
Me: So, care no longer has to eliminate the handset.
Today's Baby Manager in Charge: (looks so betrayed)
My Baby Manager: (bites lip really hard to avoid cracking up)
Everyone Else: OMG THEY DON'T HAVE TO....
(chaos, disorder, confusion)
Me: (spends the rest of the huddle imagining what would have become of me in the 90s if I'd tried even half the sh!t care does today to get out of troubleshooting, because my work is done here.)
Me, later: Does it count if I had really really good intentions of keeping my mouth shut?
My Baby Manager: Nah, you're good. (still not cracking up, bless'im.)
