For all those who watch "The Office (NBC)" you'll know what I mean when I say that the director of my project is a Michael Scott.
I love eavsedropping into conversations between the director and my manager (who i know secretly thinks the director is an idiot) After a reaction to the bank's stocks jumping up $1.50, my manager exclaimed, "Holy Sh!t!" to which my director chimed in, "Oh my shit!" I think he was searching for "Oh my god!" but tried too hard to fit in and it came out funny. LOL. i guess you had to have been here to hear it. I'm going to have to start documenting what I overhear. It could honestly be material for The Office.
Team meetings are even worse. Every week we get a 'moral boost' where our director commends us on our hard efforts and tells us how great we are and how were the best team in the bank. Last week when one of our team members was leaving, our director busted out a solo standing ovation... he tried to get the rest of us to join in, but it was a really awkward effort. My co-worker and I are both avid Office watchers, so every weekly team meeting gets harder and harder to hide the smirks.
He even has the Michael Scott casual-friday happy jeans. Jeans that make him magically transform into a comedian and into "one of the gang". Man i wish i could set up a hidden camera into the meeting room!!
