What's even less use than a flunky? I'll tell you what... a half-pissed, half-hungover flunky who couldn't remember getting home last night! The football team he plays for won the league they play in for the first time in 12 years last night... following on from the championship that they won a week or so ago. So they've finally got something to keep in their trophy cabinet other than their teabags and spare bog roll!
Anyway, he arrived at work in a state that was eloquently described by my boss as "Wi' eyes like pish-holes in the snow" - flunky even admitting himself he was still half-pissed... and that set the pattern for the rest of the day - somehow he managed a convincing facade for the customers - but, as soon as they went out, he crawled back to the office and kind of degenerated into this hungover, groaning, genetic throwback... that at least 3 times had to run and have a conversation with God on the big white porcelain phone!
Still, it was funny to take the piss out of him.
Aside from that, work was fairly uneventful, as was the rest of the day.
And, with that, I'll bugger off...
Still, at least Flunky gave you some laughs eh, Ally! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, there is that!
ReplyDeleteToday he's been stressed out coz a (female) customer got stroppy with him, and poor wee flunky got the brunt of it... and the problem wasn't even his fault.
I gave him a shot of my stress ball - and he burst it!
