A long while ago, I posted about the fact that every office has a Kevin, and that ours was called Paul. Well, Paul has moved on from my team now, but apparently he hasn’t moved on from his inate Kevin-ness. Here is a transcript from an IM conversation I had with him the other day.
Paul says (16:11): I've just outdone any accident that I've ever done before (in an office). Paul says (16:12): New contract, been here 2 weeks.. I'm the Scrum admin this week. I open the scrum draw, and there is what looks a toy gun with soft balls in it. I pick it up and as i do so, I manage to actually, non-intentionally pull the trigger. Turns out, it's a high powered professional paint ball gun. Paul says (16:13): I shot the team secretary the other side of the office!! Paul says (16:15): So, I'm new here... and second week I nail the secretary in the back with a paintball.
Honestly, I have so many questions about why there was a loaded paintball gun in an office drawer, but that’s another blog post...
The best bit was when he finished up with this comment:
Paul says (16:16): Still, at least I haven't spilt anything yet...
Fantastic. But not for the secretary.
