Overheard

I heard this last night in the hotel lobby.

Man 1: “… her out.”
Man 2: “Really?”
Woman: “I can’t believe it!”
Man 1: “Yeah, I don’t know who’s going to replace her, but I guess someone finally realized she couldn’t handle the work.”
Woman: “Or maybe she just pissed someone off…”
Man 2: “Was there anyone she didn’t piss off?”
[laughter]
Man 3: “What’s so funny?”
Woman: “Did you hear about Linda?”
Man 3: “Linda? My boss, Linda?”
Man 1: “Yeah, they fired her today back at the office. Escorted her from the building and everything.”
Man 3: “Really?!”
Man 2: “Really.”
Man 3: “Is this a joke?”
Woman: “No. She’s really gone. According to what we know she wasn’t even allowed to download anything from her computer.”
Man 3: “Holy crap.”
Man 1: “Who are you calling?”
Man 3: “Linda.”
Woman: “Why?”
Man 3: “Hold on a sec. Hey, Linda it’s James. Did you just get fired? Really? Wow. No, no. I just wish someone had told me earlier so I could throw a “Ding-Dong the Bitch is Gone” party. Have a nice life. Buh-bye.”
[GeekMan spits his ice water out of his nose]

I guess Linda really wasn’t a very nice person.

    Getting to tell off your ex-boss in front of other people and repeated on the Internet…PRICELESS!
