Ways to make my head spin in circles

It should be illegal to have a department with two supervisors reporting to a manager when all three have the same first name.

Worst 'who's on first?' scenarios EVER.

Do that office-cliche of calling them by their last names. It'll be particularly fun if one of them has the office-cliche surname "Jenkins". You can abruptly yell it down a hallway. :D

I think everyone would drop dead from shock if I ever yelled in the first place :)

heh. well, I don't imagine you yelling, but the name "Jenkins!" is meant to be yelled. :)

It would be even worse if the name was also yours, no?

[twilight33]

No, because I don't have underlings :)



'I need a budget change for J's staff'

"J-manager, J-supervisor1 or J-supervisor2's staff?"

'Uh... the ones on X budget'

"That's everyone, so all 3 J's plus staff?"

'Wait, not the ones working on Y project'

"Which one would that be, I can't tell projects from budgets?"

'J's'

*internal exasperated sigh* "J-supervisor1 or J-supervisor2?"

and it goes on & on...

I hear you. We once had three Jims here. Now we're down to just one and he goes by his last name. Hee!
