Take a Number

Pat and I spent a good deal of the afternoon yesterday buried in spreadsheets and data, so we got a little punchy. Because our offices are on both sides of Paul's we constantly get questions from our fellow team members, 'have you seen Paul?' - 'is Paul in today?' - 'which way did he go?' - etc.

So, we came up with a solution. Bob went to Publix this morning and borrowed their deli ticketing system, which he rigged up outside of Paul's office. We created a mock waiting area and as soon as Paul was spotted in the parking lot we all took our numbers and seats to wait.

Bob made an announcement over the PA, "Now seeing number 15" and then even more people showed up. Paul was definitely surprised and all involved got a good laugh.

So if you need to see Paul in the future, take a number!
