Caught in the Act..Not

My fellow coworkers and I have a nickname for our new BM that fit's him like speedos on an obese man. We started out with "Mr. Wonderful" and we tried a few other nicknames that would make you blush and be too impolite for me to list. I do have standards you know.

However, "Mr. Useless" seems to be the all time winner. It just seems to encompass all that is our BM. Due to the fact that he has no real purpose. He is..useless. He does not manage the branch at all (that's Raiko's job after all) He just kind of hangs around, and gets in the way of library business, making our life more difficult and frustrating.

Which brings us to the other day when a couple of staff members were just getting into the branch and settling in to work the evening shift. Mr. Useless walks into the break room and arms outstretched in a sound of music moment and says..."I'm useless!" The two staff member freeze in horror.

Had they been loose lipped?

Had he overheard them speaking about him?

Did he actually have the brains to figure it out?

It was definitely one of those deer in the headlights moments.

One of the startled staff members has the wherewithal to ask "WHY?"

His reply..." Well doesn't everyone feel useless when they don't have a car? "

Ahhh...yessss..... ignorance is truely bliss...
