The time the pool table was moved

While I was on my hiatus, B2 hired her golf friend's nephew J to help put things onto shelves.

On my second day back, J came upstairs to the area I work in and was mystified as to why the pool table was on an angle - it didn't fit into the room properly, it didn't make sense - he pushed it so that it was straight in the room. I said "They are going to notice that"

When B2 woke up, she called me into her office, the conversation went something like this:

B2: Did you move the pool table?

Me: No

B2: Well it's been moved.

Me: J moved it.

B2: Why would J move the pool table?

Me: I don't know, you'll have to ask him.

B2: (over the office intercom) Would B1 and J please come to my office?

Me: B1 went out.

B2: Where, he didn't tell me he was going out?

Me: I don't know, you'll have to ask him.

J enters the office

B2: Did you move the pool table?

J: Yea.

B2: Why did you move the pool table?

J: It fits better in the room if it's straight.

B2: But why did you move the pool table?

J: Cause it didn't make sense before, there's more room to get to the desks now.

B2: But why did you move the pool table?

J: I don't know

B2: Did Lindsay ask you move to the pool table?

J: No.

B2: Then I just don't understand why someone would come into an area of the office that they don't even work in and move the pool table.

J: You hired me to help clean up the office so I was cleaning up.

B2: That was for downstairs, there is still lots to do there. Why would you come upstairs and move the pool table?

J: Well there's no room on the shelves downstairs to clean up. We have to move some things to the other building.

Me: It's true. I was talking to him and K yesterday and K said B1 won't let them move anything there.

B2: Have you been over there lately? That has been everyone's solutions for years.

J: Have YOU been over there lately - I spent the last few weeks cleaning it up and there's room now.

B2: But this still doesn't explain, why you would move the pool table.

Me: (laughs) Sorry this conversation is ridiculous

B2: You're Assistant General Manager, act like it. You know that pool table is very expensive and every time it moves we have to have someone come in for $1500 to rebalance it. I know that it get moves a lot but you just can't go around moving it.

J: If it's so expensive, why do you keep so much crap all over it?

B2: Excuse me, is that the way you talk to people?

J: Excuse me, that the way you talk to people - why'd you move the pool table, why'd you move the pool table? You talk about keeping this place pristine clean.

B2: I have never said pristine clean.

J: What are you talking about - you came downstairs last week, picked up a file, wiped your finger on the shelf and said 'we need to make this place pristine clean'. Your office is disgusting, you can barely get to your desk cause of all the shit all over the floors, it's disgusting, you're disgusting - whatever, I'm over this, I'm gone

J leaves

Me: Well, I guess I'll call those manufacturers you wanted me to call.

B2: I don't think this is the time for that - I think J just quit and I don't think we need you anymore.

Me: Ok


...this stuff writes itself people! I could not add any more comedy to it if I tried!
