    Oooh, shiny firetruck

    No, don't get excited, there's no fire. But the firetruck did pull up outside. We don't know why. 3 firemen got out (none of them cute ) and wandered off somewhere, brandishing a very official-looking clipboard.

    Needless to say, the firetruck is of great interest here, and CEO hears about it.

    CW: coworker
    CEO: the big boss

    CW: Oh hey, CEO, there's a firetruck outside.
    CEO: WHAT? (ceo speaks in full volume at all times)
    CW: Yeah, just outside the door
    CEO: WHERE?? (the front of our office is ALL GLASS )
    CW: Out there.
    CEO: OH! *powerwalks out of the front door, and begins circling the firetruck*

    I can just see the thought running through her head: "oooh! Big shiny metalmachine! If I run around it three times clockwise, it will give me a SURPRISE!"

    Send her over to my store and she can go ooh and ahh at a nice shiny cop car, whenever the alarm system goes off for no apparent reason.

      When I first saw this post I assumed from the title that your CEO had finally burned the office down or wiped it out in a wave of destruction like that in the library scene from "The Mummy."

      I'm glad to hear your office is still standing.

        Chrono Trigger reference? That's the only thing I can think of.

        That silly CEO of yours, Joi...whatever shall we do with her? ^_^

          My dad is a retired firefighter and still loves to regale me with stories about people like your CEO, who actually got in the way of them doing their jobs properly.

          'Course, this was back when public workers could tell someone off without worrying about the 'PC police' coming for them, so his stories are sometimes rather colorful.

          Your CEO always amuses, Joi. Im sure it's not so amusing for you, though.

            At our fire station, we have a pic of a BMW or some spendy car, parked right in front of a fire hydrant, both front windows broken, hose right though. Love it!

              They did that to a Mercedes (I think) in "Backdraft."

                Maybe they can give her a drink from the firehose...

                  DH had a coworker that drank out of a firehose once. Not full blast, of course. They warned him not to. He got awfully sick, lol.
