Yahoos Are Surprisingly Polite!

As I mentioned earlier this month, our group just moved into a new building. One of my coworkers, who we'll call "Dave",[1] had a meeting right after the move-in. It struck him that all the whiteboards in the new conference room were completely pristine... and this situation could not stand!

So Dave drew a diagram on the whiteboard. It consisted of:

Lo and behold, the diagram is still there weeks later. Isn't it is amazing how respectful people are of the "DO NOT ERASE"? It really restores one's faith in humanity, doesn't it? Unless... well, the alternative theory is that nobody has had time to erase the diagram because they're too busy polishing up their resumes, pronto. ("My God, honey... did I tell you what I saw on a whiteboard today? I'm surrounded by total idiots!")

1. Because his name is "Dave".

  1. This thread is useless without pics.

  2. Heh! I’ll try and get a picture of it on Tuesday, if it’s still there.

  3. You guys actually call yourselves “Yahoos”!? Does that make the people at Google “Googles”?

    1. Yes. 2. Probably not.

  4. I believe they prefer “Googlers”, actually.

  5. Yeah, “Googlers” is what I’ve heard Googlers call themselves. And their HQ is the GooglePlex.

  6. So now that you are moved in, what happened to the indoor fish pond? Enquiring minds want to know.

    P.S. If it is still there, I recommend the practical over the decorative: Forget the koi; stock it with trout.
