roger, are you busy? would you mind coming in here a minute?
sure. what's up? that was really crazy at my uncle's barbeque this weekend when you--
roger, didn't we agree not to talk about outside the office inside the office?
oh, yeah. sorry. i had it backwards in my head.
i'd like to give you a special project to do. i need you to go through this stack of resumes and set up appointments with each of these candidates for our summer internship program. can you do that?
sure. i guess.
now, i need this done quickly, and there's a lot of work here and not a lot of time, so i'd really like you to focus on this and remain in your office until it's done. i'm afraid it's distracting for you to walk around the cubicles talking to all the, the, cubicle people. so if you could get right to work on this--
sure.
and the main thing is--
not to guess on who's a mister and who's a miss! the foreign names, i found out before. they can be really hard to guess and people get all mad if you're like, can i talk to miss fingfoofong and they're like no, but this is mister fingfoofong. so i figured out, the best thing if you aren't sure is to just ask for the first name.
um, yes, that's important also. but the main thing is that you should really concentrate on completing this assignment, roger, and stay in your own office until i tell you. i mean, until the work is done.
