The List

Yesterday when I came into work, I found a list on my desk. My boss had a free hour on Friday and she went from office to office with one of her underlings and jotted down what she wants changed. As they say, idle hands are the devil's workshop. The list had about 30 items on it and 28 were so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud. Here is an example:

• Can we throw out the ugly router in the secretaries office? (Sure, but if we do we will need to hire someone to stand outside our window and hold a wire hanger to catch the internet rays)
• Can we replace the large surge protector with a small 4 prong plug? (Sure, and then when the lights go off an on and burn out the computer we can buy a new one)
• Can we remove the ugly black box from the back wall? (I don't know about you, but if I see a box hard wired into a wall, I wouldn't pull it out)
• Can we bolt the keyboard onto the desk so it won't move? (No, just type less aggressively)
• Can we call Bob's Furniture and have our chair replaced? (No, it is 5 years old and nothing is wrong with it)

There were 25 more crazy requests. I must say that the  insanity of the list was like a comedy routine. Who knows what will be waiting for me this morning.
