kewl.bantee,SC1,21/07/08,Pg No.85


It has come to my attention that some employees are bending paper clips everyday. A few copy clerks have even bended an entire box. Because of my duty as your supervisor, I would remind you that paper clips are expensive. In my ten years of superior wisdom as your boss, I have always given you a fair deal. I will give you a fair deal in the future also, but only if you show some responsibility. Therefore, I will begin inspecting the desks in this office this morning. By quitting time, I would have checked every single one. If your desk contains a bent paper clip, you will find yourself out of a job.

My take on this:

It has come to my notice that some employees are bending paper clips whole day.A few paper clerks have even bent an entire box.Because of my duty as a supervisor,i am reminding you that paper clips are expensive.In my 10 years of superior wisdom as your boss,i have always given you a fair deal.I will give you a fair deal in the future too,but only if you show some responsibility.Therefore,i will inspect your tables in the office,beginning this morning.By quitting time i will have checked every single desk.If your desk contains even a single bent paper clip,you will find yourself out of your job.
