if I never hear "pro-active," "multitask" or "evaluate" again...

Here's another priceless gem:

BOSS:
Let's look at the budget for the Buchi tour.

ME:
Okay.

BOSS:
You need to start thinking about tour support.

ME:
What do you need me to do?

BOSS:
You'll really be managing the whole project.

ME:
So we're trying to book venues.

BOSS:
Before we do that you should really get your checklist together.

ME:
What checklist?

BOSS:
For Peter's booking.

ME:
What should I put on this checklist?

BOSS:
I'll show you one of mine.

ME:
Great.

(Some silence.)

ME:
Can I take a look at one of your checklists?

BOSS:
(Laughing, tapping my shoulder)
Don't worry, I'll take care of you. It'll be fine. You just get started on the thing.

ME:
What thing?

BOSS:
What are you working on?

ME:
I was evaluating the file cabinet, but we should start making calls on Buchi's tour.

BOSS:
Just get your checklist started and we'll meet on that tomorrow.




(FYI, the buzz is that boss has smoked a lot of weed in his day. So maybe it's not just me. *g*)
