Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for November 04, 2023

Get some garlic and a cross.

I had a windowed office with a door. I put on a headset and pretended to talk as I worked.

Blah blah blah

Needs a button under his desk to make his phone ring. “Oh shoot! I forgot the meeting with the boss! Later Bob!!”

We had a manager on our floor that was a time and mind sink, so we developed an agreement that if you saw him in someone’s cube you would call them from your cube and ask if they needed rescue.

The victim could then say “Yes, yes, I understand, sorry about being late to your meeting, I’ll be right there…” and take a quick exit!

Could be worse. Could be like Colin, an energy vampire.
