You don’t have to be mad to work here…

About 10am this morning my manager-to-be phoned me.

*ring ring* - ”Hello”

“Hi Rob. Do you wear glasses?”

(note at this point we’ve been working in a company of only 35 people for over 3 years)

“I beg your pardon?”

“Do you wear glasses?”

“Yes”

“All the time?”

“Yes”

“Ok, thanks” - *click*

So 5 minutes later I call him back, he doesn’t answer so I leave a voicemail

“Hello, Rob here, Just ringing to check if your socks are labelled left/right. Let me know”

Another 5 minutes:

*ring ring* - ”Hi Rob, which of your hands is longest from the wrist to the top of your middle finger?”

“Umm, my right”

“Ok, thanks” – *click*

5 minutes passes, I call him:

“Hiya, can you touch your elbow with your tongue?”

“I’m not sure, but I’ll hazard a guess at no”

“Ok, thanks” – *click*

yet another 5 minutes.

“Hi Rob, can you put your left big toe in your mouth?”

“Yes” – *pause* – “but not if I’ve got my shoes on”

“Haahahahahahaahah……..” – *click*

I didn’t hear from him after that. I still have no clue what was going on.
