Office Hobo - Multitasking

It's called multitasking. I wish I could do it as well as him. But I'm not so good. I tried to manage people like him but I can't do it nearly as long. He's so good at being busy I'll bet he has a nacho cheese and salsa factory somewhere. A big one.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">I finally got my typewriter connected to the network again. It's about time, I've got unmentionables to print! Everything here is so cool. It's like my job came back in time to get me and now I'm busy doing stuff and keeping busy. It's a good job. We got a free lunch again today but I didn't get one. Just more work. It's so good to have job security and a nice boss who gives us free lunches. I still don't like his shifty eye but I stored some files on my typewriter about that. My typewriter has a shifty eye too.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">There's not a whole lot going on right now. Just a bunch of printing and multitasking. I have two TPS reports but they are short and one is green. But it's not Jello.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">My boss had another problem for me the other day. All my multitasking produced a shortage of blue on the internet and some text on our website needed more blue. This one was a really tough problem since the text was already blue. What would you do? I did calculations on my typewriter, it was good. Then I sniffed some smells in my pocket. I had saved them for a while so they weren't quite right, but still good. Man, I need my sniffing straw! I'll bet my boss has one just because he's cool like that.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">What a good boss!</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><a href="http://www.philstewart.org/2006/11/office-hobo-monkey-on-crack/"><<  NEXT Office Hobo - Monkey on Crack</a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><a href="http://www.philstewart.org/2006/11/office-hobo-broken-stuff/">>>  PREVIOUS Office Hobo - Broken Stuff</a></p> </div> <p align="right"> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/&title=Office Hobo - Multitasking"><img src="/images/linkicons/stumbleit.gif" border='0' alt='Stumble This Post'></a> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=3&url=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/" target="_blank" title="Add Story to DiggIt!"><img alt='DiggIt!' border='0' src='http://www.philstewart.org/images/linkicons/digg.png'/></a> <a href='http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/&title=Office Hobo - Multitasking' target='_blank' title='Add Story to Del.icio.us'><img alt='Del.icio.us' border='0' src='http://www.philstewart.org/images/linkicons/delicious.png'/></a> <a href='http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?u=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/&=Office Hobo - Multitasking' target='_blank' title='Add Story to Yahoo web'><img alt='Yahoo' border='0' src='http://www.philstewart.org/images/linkicons/yahoo.png'/></a> <a href='http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/&title=Office Hobo - Multitasking' target='_blank' title='Add Story to Reddit'><img alt='Reddit' border='0' src='http://www.philstewart.org/images/linkicons/reddit.gif'/></a> <a href='http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed&save?u=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/&h=Office Hobo - Multitasking' target='_blank' title='Add Story to Newsvine'><img alt='Newsvine' border='0' src='http://www.philstewart.org/images/linkicons/newsvine.png'/></a> <a href='http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?url=http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/' target='_blank' title='Add Story to Technorati'><img alt='Technorati' border='0' src='http://www.philstewart.org/images/linkicons/technorati.png'/></a> </p> <p class="info">Posted in <a href="http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/category/office-hobo-funny-stories/" title="View all posts in Office Hobo - Funny Stories" rel="category tag">Office Hobo - Funny Stories</a>, <a href="http://www.philstewart.org/blog.php/category/phils-blog/" title="View all posts in Phil's Blog" rel="category tag">Phil's Blog</a> <strong>|</strong> <img src="http://www.philstewart.org/wp-content/themes/phil-theme/img/comments.gif" alt="" /> </p> </div> <!-- You can start editing here. --> <!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. --> <a name="respond"></a><h3>Leave a Comment</h3> <form action="http://www.philstewart.org/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" class="styled" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="40" /> <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="/blog.php/2006/11/office-hobo-multitasking/" /> <label for="author"><small>Name</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" /> <label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url"><small>Website</small></label></p> <!--<p><small><strong>XHTML:</strong> You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> </small></p>--> <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p> <p><small><strong>Please note:</strong> Comment moderation is enabled and may delay your comment.
