So, the Head Being Over All held a conference today.<\/p>\n
No, not the higher technology, higher maintenance video conference that I usually deal with.<\/p>\n
This was just a regular phone conference.<\/p>\n
But he is not a regular guy. He’s the Head Being Over All, let’s not forget.<\/p>\n
The boss asked me to make sure that the conference went well.<\/p>\n
“You mean check the phone to make sure it works?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, and do whatever it takes.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
BUZZZ<\/p>\n
yep, the phone works. But hey, I’ll go the extra mile. I’ll even dial the number for the Head Being. Why not?<\/p>\n
I punched in the phone number. All good. Everything’s fine.<\/p>\n
The Head Being and all the sub-beings entered. Naturally, the Head Being did not acknowledge me. Some of the lesser beings did.<\/p>\n
It was funny to hear them make fun of each other’s ties.<\/p>\n
Well, the Head Being was apparently appeased. The phone worked. Good for me.<\/p>\n
And he has another call tomorrow. In a different city.<\/p>\n
The boss wants me to go help with this other conference.<\/p>\n
“You realize that I am not a phone expert. All I can do is punch in the number.”<\/p>\n
“That’s fine. You should go.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This could work out for you. If they have a telephone conference in London, you could get a trip out of it.”<\/p>\n
I smiled maniacally and air-dialed a phone.<\/p>\n
“I am the Corporate Finger.”<\/p>\n
I’m putting it on my resume.<\/p>\n
