Food n Pagers

Now that I’m at my new job, it’s an eye opener to see the
differences in my eating habits. First, I think in the last 5 days,
I’ve been to two luncheon meetings, two holiday Christmas party
lunches, and one out-of-town greasy spoon lunch. My sweet wife is
starting to run out of Tupperware for the leftovers I never take to
work. But, tomorrow is different. No lunches scheduled. And, we had
a good dinner tonight so I’m actually looking forward to one of my
leftover lunches.

It’s also funny to see the different type of people that go to
meetings I now go to. During one of the meetings late last week,
there were about 120 tech guys talking to each other, mostly about
how a Chinese company just bought IBM’s PC business, and how just 2
months ago my company opted to drop Dell, and go with IBM. Now
they’re not sure what to do.

But the funniest thing was about 30 minutes into the presentation,
about 70% of the people got paged on their pagers. All within about
3 minutes of each other. I never did find out what was going on,
but most of them just slapped their pagers back on their belts and
went on watching the meeting. I wonder what would happen if the
paging system went down...

Enjoy today’s Jokes!
