roger, can you come in here a minute? and, oh, would you be a sweetheart and grab me a cup of coffee? thank you.
ok.
ah, perfect. you're a lamb. now, how many candidates did you idtentify for the diversity augmentation and retention program?
identify?
choose, roger. how many interview request letters did you send out to potential darps?
well, all of them.
all of them? all fifty! don't joke with me! tell me you're joking!
um...
how am i supposed to interview fifty college students? why didn't you have me sign off on this?
it was when that delivery guy came, and your door was closed. and it was last call for mail. so i thought i better just send them out.
well, this is a very sought after internship, as you know, and i imagine, if they know what's good for them, every single student will call this week for an interview. we can only set up interviews for the first five who call - i don't have the time or the patience. ok? so everyone else, i need you to turn them away. no matter how they plead.
ok.
don't be swayed when they whine about their transcripts and their grades and their extracurriculars and blah blah blah. the first five. then we'll choose two of those and they'll be happy and the office will be more diverse and i'll have someone to get me my coffee everyday. we'll be done with it and everyone will be happy. do you understand?
sure, i guess.
