Leadership …


Augrey: [talking to Blichael] I am about to order the carpet [finger hovering over ‘submit’ button]
Wall-to-wall just like you wanted.

Blichael: Wait … what?! We have wall-to-wall carpet? I don’t want that.

Augrey: You said you wanted it … don’t you remember me asking and you said “I want the carpet wall-to-wall.”
[turning to Blob]

You remember me asking that right?

Blob: Yes, I was there, that’s what he said, “carpet … wall-to-wall.”

Blichael: [looking at Augrey, then at Blob … then back to Augrey]

[blank stares all around]

Blichael: Are you sure I was listening?

 


The names of the “Augrey”, “Blob”, and “Blichael” have been changed because it’s funnier that way … and I almost gave them cajun accents. Maybe next time.
