still employed?

Randy hates to read. He just does. I don't get it. I mean there are "Sports Illustrated" magazines in his bathroom that he "reads" (or looks at all the pictures,) but that is about as far as we get with reading.


He is also one of the most head strong people I know. If he says he's going to do something, it'll be done. Well it works both ways as well because when he doesn't want to do something, man look out....complain city!!!!


Exhibit A





Doesn't this book look like a page turner?

Okay, okay I'll give him some credit. This book looks horrible! It has been sitting on our kitchen counter for about 2 weeks now. The president of the company Randy works for has started this initiative to better employee relations. I know what you're thinking, so I'll just say it. "Engineers talk to each other enough to have relations?"

Apparently so because the president has required all employees to read the book.

Well, when you tell Randy he has to do something he doesn't want to do, he ummm...throws a fit. He has done more complaining about the book than anything else. He'd be on Chapter 3 by now if he would just read it. He even offered me his lovely book, so I could read it and give him a synopsis. I don't think so! This book is anti-drama, and I only enjoy reading drama.

Instead he and other resistant co-workers googled a summary because "reading books aren't in their job descriptions" and "they can't charge their reading time to any projects."

So they had their little book discussion earlier this week. He came home and reported that it wasn't a discussion but more of a book club. I have no idea what this means? I didn't even know Randy knew the words "book" and "club" could be combined. Randy even got called on to answer a question. hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Boss: "Randy can you tell the group what you got out of Chapter 1?"

lol

lol

lol


oh how I wish I could have been there for this....

Are you ready for his brilliant, "I'll try hard to convince you that I did read this book" response?

He said "Umm something about smiling at people."


crickets, crickets, crickets


bahahahahahahahahaha

Way to do your homework Stubborn!
