It’s kinda slow at work these days so I find dumb little things to keep myself entertained. Here’s the story of one of them.
Every Tuesday at work, they have it set up where one of my coworkers goes to pick up Chipotle for whoever wants it in the office. For a while, one guy was running it. It ran pretty smoothly while he was doing it. But he got shipped off to Iraq to kill insurgents (seriously).
Shortly after he left, a different coworker decided to take over. He’s a big nerd so he created a computer program where he inputs how many times everyone has ordered and whoever has ordered the most and hasn’t picked up lately has to go pick up. Every week after whoever goes to pick up comes back, he snatches up the list, runs back to his computer, and inputs who ordered.
Last week, I decided to throw a monkey wrench into his wonderful plans and steal the list. But he beat me to it. DAGGER!
This week, the Chipotle run was moved to Monday. As soon as I heard that, I was ready to steal that list. After the runner got back, I saw two copies of the list on the table where they place the food. That’s also where a few coworkers, the nerd, and I usually eat. I sat by the lists and waited until the nerd walked away. As soon as he did, I took both copies and hid them. It took me 5 seconds to make them disappear. I was pretty pleased with myself.
About 10 minutes later, I heard him talking to someone. I walked by to see what was going on and I saw he had a copy of the list in his hand. I went to my stash to see if maybe he found them. They were still there! I guess he had another copy somehow. I failed my mission again.
I’m definitely trying again next week.
I wonder if he reads this…

I was wondering the same thing…the computer program gives it all away!
I think “he” knows of your website. Dork. You should offer to pick it up….then fax in the list, but scratch out the numbers. Too bad “he” is most likely reading this. Foiled again.
Well… I think “he” does know because I told him about it back in February. I don’t think he even uses the lists anymore. Now keep quiet before I lodge my foot in your man-pleaser.
