Homo Corporatus

Most probably, we all have colleagues whose faces we put in the middle of the darts boards...for all the good reasons. I mean what would the working place be without them? Probably a booooooring, nice place, morons-free...Hold it, paradise is far away!
My favorite type however is the Corporate Village Idiot. He's that colleague who has a very wide variety of little annoying habits, engineered to cause mental diseases among the sane co-workers.The CVI would always be a complete disaster in being fashionable (the choice of colors is quite close to the variety of a psy trance banner, but very, very tasteless), would wear the same shoes for at least 4 years and for customer presentations would wear his lucky socks, with little bananas and apples on them (because somebody forgot to explain him the difference between a customer meeting and the village harvesting festival). The same guy would never miss any free party in the company and would usually have 3 to 7 little brats, in order to make sure that his genius genes will spread equally on all continents. The CVI would almost always have some food in the office, that he would not hesitate to enjoy (this means of course, a range of nervous noises that go beyond any limits of human imagination), while you have a conference call with an important customer or the board members of your company. Nevertheless, the CVI enjoys mostly spending his afternoon in very loud conversations over the phone, laughing almost hysterically at all the silly jokes and making sure that by the end you’re immune to plane crash noises.
And…this is how you spot aliens at work!!!!

Have a nice working week! :-)

CVIs rule!!!

I never match my socks' colors, but that's just because I cannot see colors :)

Other than that, long live the CVIs!

Yeah, long live the CVIs!
Matellite, you know who I'm talking about ;) Good to "see" you!

As for matching colors, that's no rocket science, but for the CVIs it's mandatory to have at least 5 different colors on each sock :)) So, feel lucky that you don't see the colors :))

Once upon a time, there was a woman who said something about the influence of colors in our world. And I quote literally - since I believe spanish to be one of the funniest languages ever created -: "el mundo seria aburrido sin colores"
