when i was stuck being the “office safety manager” i had to give quarterly safety presentations. i started adding lines to the presentation material to see if people were paying attention – “The first person to bark like a dog gets a cookie”. “Yell ‘Bingo!’ and get a treat”. attendence went through the roof by the 3rd quarter…
Do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit that was ghastly.
He said I’m never gonna give you up or let you down.
Well I’m here to tell ya that Dick’s a clown
Though he was just a boy when he made that vow.
I’d bet it all that he knows by now.
Is this the same person who does the “Did I forget to give you that very important piece of information which is critical to the things I asked you to do because I’m too busy gossiping about the office to do my own work?”
The very same. Important pieces of information such as the meeting being rescheduled an hour earlier so you look like a totally incompetent fuckwit when you show up late.

If it had been deliberate, maybe. However, he called in sick at the last minute, so it doesn’t count.

What a man is our Rick. I used to have a Rick Astley haircut. He’s got a new single out. But it’s not the same, though.

I’ll bet the photos of your haircut make you glow with pride.
