Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for April 19, 2024

That works on a number of levels.

Looks like the guy’s opinion of the other guy is…, going up.

I still don’t get it! Let’s go down another floor.

Had a really good boss but he kept saying “I hear you.” Frustrated since he wasn’t indicating any readiness to do anything. Finally suggested he switch to understanding. After that, it got better. We became a good team.

Could this be classified as “elevated discourse”?

Is the guy on the left Leonard Nimoy?

I have a feeling I just got the shaft.

He’s just pushing this guys buttons. He wants to see where he goes off.

“… but one of us is still going to have to press a button.”

I once got fired as an elevator operator; I could not remember the route.
