The speed of light

In a vacuum, light always travels at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second

Ok. I have to share this. Have! have! have! To!

I update the company Rolodex. A boring and mundane job I know, but filled with interesting facts and fun people to call. No wait, I don’t work for a PR firm. I work for an engineering company.

The Rolodex is stuffed brim full with engineers. Civil engineers (they build bridges and buildings), environmental engineers (they tell the civil engineers why they cannot build things) and local, state and federal engineers (they tell the environmental engineers to tell the civil engineers that they cannot build things and to make up a reason, pronto).

But that’s not what I am writing about. A coworker sends me an update for the Rolodex to enter. Simple, right. Not so fast. This is my office remember. The request is emailed to her from her boss. She prints it out. Complete with email header & timestamp. Writes across the top. “Pleasz enter unto rolardux” (she should have been a doctor ) …. Puts it into an inter office envelope and routes it to me by walking it to reception ( actually on the way to my desk)

Another office administrator then picks up the said interoffice envelope. It is then carried up to my floor ( up one short flight of steps) and dumped into the interoffice mail bin. Coincidentally walking past my desk. The next week (well she routed it to me at 4 on a Friday and Monday is technically the next week), I deliver the interoffice mail back to reception (it had been placed in the wrong bin). Only then I see the mail for me and redeliver it back to my desk. From Friday 4pm to Monday @ 11:30.

Who says email isn’t slow? I think even the speed of light is affected by my office.

 

update..the boss is out of town



Please note this is a stereotype and not meant to offend Doctors.
Um…if you are not a Doctor, please feel free to laugh.
