We were moving about the office today, not wanting to be obvious about not wanting to work anymore until fed, but not succeeding, at about a quarter after noon.
Milling about, I noticed people going in and out of other people’s offices, so I decided to follow the heard and step into my friend Brendan’s office. He was finishing up something so he could join the rest of us for lunch, and while he toiled away I made exquisite use of his dry-erase board.
I wrote, as simply as possible:
He turned to see what I wrote, he laughed, and then he continued on. As I was about to leave his office to try and rally the rest of the troops for lunch, Eric walked in and he, too, found my little equation funny.
So I elaborated. And by elaboration I mean graphs, more calculations, and little definition points just to make it look official. I didn’t expect to get uproarious laughter, and I didn’t get it, but I did get a decent sum of chuckles and baby, that’s what G-d put me on this Earth to do – get chuckles.
The final chart looked something like this:
It wasn’t all that significant an event in the day’s work, the creation of this you-had-to-be-there moment, but I thought it was damn funny and just in case you haven’t been paying attention, “THIS IS MY WEBSITE AND I’LL WRITE WHATEVER I WANT TO WRITE.”
