Two For the Price of One...

I Will Not Be Besmirched...
It has been brought to my attention that a certain employee is going around and telling people that I asked him to work last Friday for the express purpose of playing a prank on him. While I believe that this would show just how hip and cool I am, I have to say that it's absolutely untrue.

Here are the facts. The aforementioned employee was asked to work on Friday because we had to set-up for a meeting we would be having on Monday. The set-up involved moving divider walls, tables and chairs. Prior to handing out this assignment, I called to speak with Michelle Lee, who coordinate with the Conference Room schedule, to make sure that there would be no meetings on Monday morning. She said, "no, there will be no classes on Monday. You can set-up for your meeting."

With that info confirmed, I called and asked said employee to come in. Shortly after said employee arrived at the office, I realized that a new opportunity to mess with him was presenting itself. We couldn't resist so we made our arrangements and you can see the result in Friday's post.

Shortly after 3PM, said employe was about to start setting up. At the same time, I was in Michelle's office asking her questions about something totally unrelated, when I looked on the master calendar and noticed a pink Post-It on Monday's block. A meeting had in fact been scheduled and Michelle had previously referred to old information.

So you see, we thought there were no sessions and so it would be safe to set-up. It wasn't until we did another check that we discovered that there was in fact a session. I had asked said employee in good faith to come in and work. I would not call him in just to mess with him. Perhaps I should start though since I think this is his subconscious longing for more attention.

In the end, I'd like all, especially said employee, to realize that our pranks are a privelege and not our purpose. I cannot tolerate when someone attempts to paint me as one who's lost his mind.

Speaking of Losing One's Mind...
Speaking of losing one's mind, I went over to Anthony's for his Wrestlemania Party on Sunday afternoon. I actually got there around 2:30PM. I asked Matt Chan if I could play with his game boy. I took a break at 4:30, got back around 6:15, continued playing, and didn't stop until about 9:00PM. All in all, I played for almost five hours! During the course of this journey, I beat the marathon game more times than I can remember and acquired sore thumb and arm syndrome. But don't worry, I should make a complete recovery.
