Professional Zen

What profession do you admire most and why?

Micromanager [irate]: Where’s Employee XYZ?!

Office Warhorse [tired]: No idea.

Manager [indignant]: But the Office Thing!

Warhorse [calmly]: Did they meet the deadline to Project 123?

Manager [grudgingly]: Yes.

Warhorse [interested]: Can you fire them?

Manager [annoyed]: No.

Warhorse [impressed]: They won’t show up.

Manager [exasperated]: Why?

Warhorse [wistful]: Because they have achieved perfection.
