Management asked if I could evaluate one of the employees, and as that happens to be within my noted abilities and well within the scope of the hotel's agenda, I concurred with the specific understanding that arrangements for the immediate assessment will be determined by me congruous to management specifications. Derek's a year older and by the way, all union workers but me, including Jane, are older than me, including Jane by two years. I advised Derek to play the gender card by taking control of the copy machine and be consciously aware of that nasty ink bottle's habit of coloring unwary hands, thus allowing the woman at the front desk to maintain their prim-n-proper selves. At the end of that exchange that day, I concluded by asking him if his hockey team won. He said he didn't watch the game. Derek, for the past few minutes, while I dealt with this dew-hickey, I told you of the game's highlights in blow-by-blow sorts. That would have garnered a choice, even if your team was neither certainly one would have a Canuck like you. I didn't watch the game either, I just read an article that highlighted the game, and fresh in my mind reasoned my call to you to go to the back office and wait for me by the copier.
