So, the Head Being Over All held a conference today.

No, not the higher technology, higher maintenance video conference that I usually deal with.

This was just a regular phone conference.

But he is not a regular guy. He’s the Head Being Over All, let’s not forget.

The boss asked me to make sure that the conference went well.

“You mean check the phone to make sure it works?”

“Yes, and do whatever it takes.”

I would make sure that phone dialed. It was in a video conference room, which means they would call me anyway. Fine, I went up there. I pressed the button.

BUZZZ

yep, the phone works. But hey, I’ll go the extra mile. I’ll even dial the number for the Head Being. Why not?

I punched in the phone number. All good. Everything’s fine.

The Head Being and all the sub-beings entered. Naturally, the Head Being did not acknowledge me. Some of the lesser beings did.

It was funny to hear them make fun of each other’s ties.

Well, the Head Being was apparently appeased. The phone worked. Good for me.

And he has another call tomorrow. In a different city.

The boss wants me to go help with this other conference.

“You realize that I am not a phone expert. All I can do is punch in the number.”

“That’s fine. You should go.”

After our boss left, my cube neighbor said, “Now your’re stuck with it, Murphy. They’ll never be able to use a phone without you.

This could work out for you. If they have a telephone conference in London, you could get a trip out of it.”

I smiled maniacally and air-dialed a phone.

“I am the Corporate Finger.”

I’m putting it on my resume.
