Phishr Chronicles

I’m sitting at my desk yesterday lost in the afternoon fastlane. Completely in my own world with a set of headphones in slapping away at a keyboard as if it had been a bad girl.  I am lost into the screens in front of me when right above my screen in the distance is 2 people walking around. I focus in to notice that it is obviously a new employee getting a tour of her new stomping grounds. The tour heads my way as I cannot help but to pay attention.

They are soon standing to my side at the cabinets by my desk explaining what each person does in the company. This is pretty typical as it seems I have met several new faces recently but it’s still interesting to watch the tour as it makes for a small break away from the screens. The individual is explaining to the new hire what the person next to me does within their group when the new hire, interupts with the greatest (and by greatest I mean, probably not the best time to make such an observation) A.D.D. moment in years.

Employee, “And if you look over this way, this is our…”

New Hire, “Oh this is an echo room! Echhooooooooo!”.

This was not a child. This was not a teenager. This was a grown ass adult.  Dressed professional.  You really just interupted your future supervisor on your company orientation to announce that not only do you feel that you are in an echo room, but you test the boundaries of said room with a loud long outburst to see if your own voice echos.

 And on top of it all, you selected the word “echo” as the test word.

The employee just gave a look to the new hire and lead them out of the room.

Fail.
