    The new guy's fortune cookie...

    We have someone transferring from a different position in the store into the tech room. Most of us are apprehensive about it because he is immature, has no backbone, and isn't the brightest guy in the world. Even a good friend of his, who works in the tech room, was against him coming in, but against the unanimous wishes of the tech crew, our supervisor desiced to give him a try.

    The new guy (well, he starts soon) and his tech friend decided to get Chinese food from a very good resturant a few stores down from us. They eat their lunch and crack open the fortune cookie. The tech's said something about 'pain today pays off tomorrow' or something like that, but the 'new guy's' fortune cookie was priceless.

    It said, and I quote:

    “It’s over your head now,
    Time to get some
    professional help.”

    Oh the irony.

    Luckily, his friend said that he does listen and tries to learn well, let's hope it works out.

    If you believe the fortune cookies, then it sounds like he'll turn out alright if he listens to your advice and learns from his Sage Elders.

        Sounds like a fortune cookie that I'd get.

            I have a few fortunes on my desk and in my wallet right now, but none that interesting.

            Slightly OT, but my bestest friend E and I like to leave fortunes, or other trinkets from our wallets (stickers, small toys, etc) with tips at restaurants, particularly if our waiter/waitress seemed good-spirited and the type to enjoy them. This happened most often at Denny's.

                  I like to add "In bed" to the end of all my fortunes.

                  My all time favorite fortune was (no lie! I saved this one!),

                  "Constant grinding can turn a steel rod into a needle."

                  Best one ever.

                    I once got a cookie what said "You Are The Center Of Every Group's Attention."

                    I also once got a cookie what said "Don't take I-5."
