Blob: Unless someone is on fire, don’t bother me. 

In fact, unless I’m on fire, don’t bother me.

 


 

There are moments when you have to get a lot of work done and need to be left alone … yet THIS is the time that every human being on the planet seems to have some question.

That consultant who seems to be dodging your calls?? Now is the time when they decide to call you back.

Line 4 acting weird? Now all of a sudden your the “IT specialist”

Need to use restroom?  You’ll hold it so that you don’t have to walk past people who will stop you with “a quick question.” Sure, the question is quick but the answer never is.

You would think that putting on headphones would be a clue … but that doesn’t stop anybody.

Ugh. This was how my day went yesterday …

 


The “name” here has seemingly been changed to protect the person represented … but we all know who “Blob” is, right?
