I answered the phone, as you sometimes should do.
“Yes?” I asked in as timid a voice as possible, just in case this was a scammer.
“Is this Stephen Johnson?”
“Yes?” in that still timid voice.
“Hey there! This is Cornelius Sproot with [redacted]! Got your email about that thing you designed and we’re very intrigued!”
“Oh?”
“YES! This will be the biggest thing since……well…..that really last big thing!”
“Crayons?”
“Bigger than crayons! BIGGER!”
“Wow.”
“Exactly! What we here at [redacted] need to do next is meet with you face to face. Is tomorrow good?”
“Well, I’m in HR at the moment…..”
“You in trouble? We’ve all been to HR, if you know what I mean.”
“I don’t think so. For either of those.”
The HR lady grabbed the phone.
“Look, I don’t have time for this! We’re in the middle of an HR issue and…….you’re who? THE Cornelius Sproot with [redacted]?”
She dropped the phone and then fainted.
Of course I picked up the phone.
“Stephen? Still Cornelius here from [redacted]. We’ll be over there within 30 minutes OR EVEN LESS!”
He hung up.
Say what?
