Co-Worker Caught Twooping

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Representatives of the IT department in the Little Rock office of Klein, Barter, & Schnook confirmed reports from several co-workers that junior account planner Ryan McBrubin was caught “Twooping” at approximately 10:15 a.m. local time.  According to company log files, McBrubin posted two Twitter updates from his Blackberry Pearl while using the company restroom on the third floor.  ”We suspected for some time that McBrubin might be texting while using the restroom,” said IT manager Richard Rhindglass.  ”But when he sent two Tweets about a song playing over our intercom radio, our worst fears were confirmed.  As a company, we don’t have an official policy against Twooping, but as a person – even an IT guy – I think it’s just plain gross.  I won’t be answering Ryan’s phone if it rings, that’s for sure.”  Ed.

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Western Regional Sales Director Steven C. Lackey posted an ad on Craig’s List early Tuesday hoping to connect with Senior Planning Director Marty Swinefelder, who had inadvertently missed his cold sales call earlier that day. The ad, posted in the “Missed Connections” section at 2:43 p.m. local time, describes Swinefelder as “a brilliant ad veteran to whom fate dealt a crushing blow by causing you to be away from your desk,” and described himself as “the super sales savior who will make you the hero of your team.” The ad insisted that Lackey only needs “20 minutes of your time to show you this relationship can deliver more than you ever dreamed of” and that he would ” really appreciate it if you could find time in your schedule later today or tomorrow.” ED NOTE: Senior Caption Editor Travis Volk broke this story while searching for a “roommate” on Craig’s List Tuesday night.
