This one is short and to the point. Our lunch hours are staggered so that someone is always present at work while others are at lunch (as I'm sure it is with most businesses). Kim happened to be filling in at the reception desk while the receptionist was at lunch. The reception desk faces out into the elevator lobby, so that the receptionist can see when someone is getting off the elevator.
So I returned from my lunch and proceeded into the office, and after I had been in there for five minutes or so, the phone rang. So I answered it, and it was her.
"Did Jim come back from lunch yet?"
My mouth said, "No, he's not back yet."
My head said, "Don't you think that since you're sitting at the desk, and you see everyone who gets off the elevator, and you haven't seen him get off the elevator since he's been at lunch, that you could come to the logical conclusion that he isn't back yet?"
I mean, is it really that difficult? Apparently some people have trouble with that sort of logic. And it makes me want to stab myself.
