Cardboard: not for the homeless anymore

i helped a client relocate to their new office space this week. the new workspace design is very cool and futuristic with an open feel and low cube walls. most people i spoke with loved the space, except for this guy:

me: hi there! (smile) welcome to your new office space. is there anything i can do to make your transition easier?
him: uuuuh, yea. i don't like my new cube.
me: oh, really? what don't you like about it?
him: the walls are too low.
me: yes, those are designed that way on purpose to encourage peer-to-peer collaboration and teamwork. (smile)
him: can i put cardboard on top of the walls to add another foot or two?
me: no (deadpan)

I am restructuring a company and had to interview all staff members of the HR dept. They knew that many would be terminated. One woman arrived in sweatpants and what appeared to be her husbands oversized undershirt. She was holding a tootsie-pop.

During the interview, she unwrapped the lolly and started to ...fellate it.

Seriously.

And I am a woman...
