Co-Worker’s New Years Optimism Already Annoying
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Several employees at the Chicago office of Sedentary.com confirmed late Tuesday that after only two days back in the office, the exuberant New Year’s optimism of Midwest Sales Manager Rodney Postlethwaite has already turned from inspiring to “annoyingly unbearable.” According to his co-workers, Postlethwaite, widely considered an extrovert, has continually expressed his unbridled hopefulness in and extolled the boundless possibilities of the New Year. ”I get it. It’s a new year,” said traffic manager Janice Richenbacher. ”We’re supposed to make resolutions and big changes. But if I have to hear one more time how he’s ready to tackle the New Year, or turn this sinking ship around, or post the biggest Q1 numbers in the history of the company, I’m gonna puke. I mean, nothing has actually changed since last month aside from a new calendar. We’re still in a pretty difficult sales climate, and his breath still smells a helluva lot like coffee and Rolaids.”
