The company I work for was recently acquired by another one.
This week, a lot of the "new bosses" are visiting our building
and conducting meetings, getting know the new teams, etc.
The CFO (I think) ends up in an area where three Ron Paul
supporters sit. He notices the Ron Paul wallpaper on one
guy's desktop and makes a small comment. He turns around
sees a big-ish Ron Paul for Pres sign mounted above second
guy's cube
no comments, but had to keep looking at it
to make sure he was in fact seeing what thinks he is seeing.
So I'm in the kitchen area, not met this guy yet, I'm getting
my coffee and listening to the 2nd guy with the Ron Paul
sign tell me this story. I jokingly say, "should I go introduce
myself to him making sure he sees my Ron Paul mug?" A
second later he walks in the kitchen area and we are introduced.
I kid you not he kept looking at my mug .. a few double-takes
for sure. I was having a hard time trying not to lose it!
I wonder ... if the three of us will be in the "layoff" list come
next month
Watching the disbelief on his face totally worth it!
