So I’m pretty tried today. Last night around midnight I received a desperate page (that’s right the Shitshow still uses pagers) from T-Rod. From the sound of things on the phone, it sounded like things were in serious trouble, threatening years of hard work and tons of money. Being a team player, I came into work to put out the fire.
When I got into work, I again asked T-Rod to explain the situation. Even in person with him pointing at things and talking slower, his explanation still made no sense. Being a little confused about the situation, I decided the best thing to do was to walk over to my own computer terminal and look at the data.
After waiting 10 minutes for the terminal to boot up, I looked at the data T-Rod was so worried about. I pulled up the simple window calculator, typed in two numbers and hit return and figured out that there was no issue and that T-Rod was even a bigger Bob figure than I had previously accounted for.
Without getting into the actual details of how T-Rod was so wrong with a elementary math concept, I’ll give you an easy to follow analogy referring to time. We all know that a quarter ‘til 11pm and 10:45pm is two ways of stating the same time. Well, T-Rod didn’t. Seeing how simple his error was, I explained it to him even drawing a picture. His response was “Cool. Thanks for coming in man, right on.”
