"I NEED A SUIT"

Just as quickly as I began writing the last post, a new story came to my attention.

The guy we have come to call Kaptin Reetard (the spelling is on purpose) or KR for short, has been signed up for an awards banquet tonight. He has known about this for weeks, but has failed to figure out the details until today... the day of the event.

Here's an inside to how his day has gone (keep in mind there are three other people other than him that are going and we haven't heard a word out of them)

8 AM: I arrive a work. No KR. This is typical as he has decided that he doesn't need to come in to work until 10-11 AM and when asked where he has been, he tells us that he was at appointments all morning and he is just swamped. His calendar is empty and he has no installations going on at this time. He promptly leaves at noon, claiming to have more appointments.

11 AM: KR calls one of the other co-workers that will be at this awards banquet tonight. He is panicked because he is unsure how to get to the U of M and he doesn't know what the McNamara building is or where to park. He demands that someone give him detailed instructions on how to get there and where to park. He was given this information last week in paper form from the president of our company and then received an e-mail from the organization holding the awards.

1:00-1:30: KR is frantically calling everyone at work because he didn't have a suit and he is afraid he will wear the wrong thing. He calls everyone going to the awards banquet and the customer service person to get their opinion on what he should wear. He has been shopping at different stores since 11 to get the perfect suit and now, after buying one, is getting it altered so it fits perfectly, but he still isn't sure if he should be wearing something else.

Amazing. He can disrupt the entire office for an entire day for something that has nothing to do with most of us. And he still hasn't been in to the office.
