Working in the Construction Zone
Last Thursday morning I arrived at work to find an orange cone in front of my desk.
“What’s with the cone?” I asked my boss.
“I’m fixing your desk.”
I had recently complained that my desk was falling apart.
“If my desk is in a construction zone that means I don’t have to work, right?”
“No, you still have to work.”
“You wouldn’t want a Worker’s Comp injury on your hands would you?”
“Its just glue.” My boss informed me.
“Glue? You’re fixing my desk with glue?”
“Gorilla Glue! It fixes everything.”
Glue! Maybe my hands will get stuck together and I won’t have to work. I thought.
I worked in the construction zone all day Thursday and Friday as my boss gorilla-glued the corners of my desk. I wonder if I should bring a hard hat to work with me on Monday?

i say wear the hard hat... then pack some duct tape. y'know that if that gorilla glue doesn't do the job, duct tape fixes everything. :)
