After the series of mirror antics (here, here, here and here), I couldn’t help but continue with the idea of work inventions.
Perhaps Frank’s boss could team up with the inventors at Japanese company Thanko. they have developed the USB powered neck tie fan. And it has the special geniuss touch that Frank’s boss specialises in – being USB powered, means that you need to connect yourself into your computer to get the benefits of the equipment.
I would consider the tie fan… I wouldn’t mind a headband one as well.
The beauty of those work scales is that the work might never get done… so the boss gets what he wants!
Ah, you’re nearly one step ahead of me there. I’ve given thought to the density of paper vs blood, sweat and tears
Some days it feels like my KPI scales will never balance out! 🙂
I hear you ad to top things off, there’s always change, but then they don’t change the KPI, so you end up in a no win situation
Lucky for me, I don’t have to wear a tie at work. And, my boss hasn’t seen this cartoon yet!
No one tends to wear neck ties at our work either. One of my work colleagues has a collection of ties for emergencies (when meeting clients/auditors etc). He keeps a ‘special’ one for silent ‘protest’ meetings when he’s not happy with the meeting partners – it’s his dung brown neck tie.
A “dung brown” neck tie? Sounds like something Doug would wear.
It does, doesn’t it? I can see my next book now, ‘Doug and his dung brown neck tie gets an office job’. Actually, when I said ‘dung brown’ I was trying to be mildly polite, he actually refers to it as his ‘poo brown’ neck tie.
