Johns New Job

So the other day a co-worker and I were discussing a few things and somehow emotions came up and I told him that I had a whole blog dedicated to how we feel.  I told him that it was mostly serious stuff.  He then proceeded to tell me that laughter is an emotion as well.  “I suppose you are right”, I said.  “Maybe I should add a little humor to my repertoire.”  We talked a while longer and being the good Project Manager that I am, I felt that I should get a little movement going and get out of there.  So I dropped a little hint and said, “Hey man, I have to go talk to John about a job.”

He said, “really, what is it?”

I said, well, Its kind of a crappy job, but you know how it is.  Sometimes you just have to push through it and get it done no matter how bad it hurts.  This one probably won’t be a big deal so everything  should come out ok.  The sticky part will probably be when we get to the paperwork.  I’m really going to have to be careful what I put my fingers on.  He can be a real dingleberry sometimes, but it usually always gets washed out in the end.  I’ll probably have to flush the whole project at some point, but that ok because it seems to come back around pretty often.  Sometimes he even calls twice a day.  Who knows, today he might be in a hurry, but  sometimes he really wants to push through the details.  Anyway, I have to get going.  I have a gut feeling the he is starting to get impatient,  you have a good day.”

As I walked back to my office I thought about maybe adding a little humor in every now and again.  I’m not sure though.  I’m pretty dry in the humor department.  One of these days I guess I’ll just have to write something and see how it goes over.
