Overheard in the Paramagnus office

We’re still here in the Paramagnus office, at around 4:30 AM, which has been normal for us lately. And you know what? Not only are the late night hours our most productive, they can also be the funniest. And on that note, I present to you, overheard in the office:

The last few days we’ve had problems with the circuit breakers in our office. A little while ago Dickson wanted to boil some water, but we didn’t want to risk plugging our crazy kettle into an outlet here, so he took it out into the hallway. A little while later he went to get the boiled water, and when he returned:

“I feel like an African, having to go elsewhere to get my water!”

Not the most politically correct statement, but that’s the way it goes at 4 AM. And according to any documentary I’ve ever seen, he’s right, they always carry their water from elsewhere.

Tomorrow morning we’ve got a breakfast presentation to give on mentorship and our mentoring experiences in VenturePrize. I wrote a small speech the other day, and was going over it tonight:

Mack: Alright this looks good. Where is the event tomorrow?
Dickson: Hang on, I’ll check.

A few minutes pass as Dickson scours his email…

Dickson: I can’t seem to find it.
Mack: Hmm, that’s odd. I wonder if it’s on the TEC Edmonton site or anything.

More time passes as we both look at various websites for event info.

Mack: I can’t believe we don’t know where the event is!

So if you’re reading this, and you happen to know where the event is tomorrow, give me a call ok? Thanks.
