A failure to communicate
"Hugo, did you and Lefty archive and summarize MR for me as I asked?"
"Yes, of course. Well, I delegated to Lefty. I had to attend, umm, a convention." "Right. I won't ask. Lefty?" "Yeah, You wanted all new threads, right, each day, in digest form. I left them on your pillow." "Umm, there was a pile of lint on my pillow... oh. Threads. Digest. Well... Thank you." |

Jeez. I had to read every thread myself. Took most of a day between patients and meetings. The lint actualy sounds like it made more sense...

Plus the lint can be stored in your belly button if anyone catches you catching up on MobileRead when you are thought to be working on something else.

I'd give lefty for a pair of smart socks like them. I'd settle for some half-wit lint or some intelligent F.I.N. (thus making navel-gazing more worthwhile).
Cheers, Marc |
