Hey There, Have we met before?

You know it was bound to happen. If not for arranging plans to attend the Bryon Nelson for himself and, that special lady friend (wink), it was finagling a deal for a software purchase without consulting the purchasing group.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive, Big Time is at it again.


Oh, there have been other notable instances, like getting caught at the border of another country, by immigration officials. Here is the actual transcript from that fateful day.

Agent: "Namen!"

BigTime: "Excuse me?"

Agent: "Who. Are. You?"

BigTime: "Mr. Awesome, Senior CIO, Level III" (Flashes smile)

Agent: "Do you have paperz?"

BigTime produces passport and surrenders it.

Agent: Looking at the passport, "Vhat iz you're purpose for your vizit?"

BigTime: Stands tall and adjusts trousers, "Yeah, I got to install some computers and reconfigure all the printers. The wireless is my specialty, I'm the only one who can do it correctly. When Mr. Awesome fixes it, it stays fixed. How are your golf courses here?"

Agent: "Zo, you are here to vork?"

BigTime: Smirking, "You got it, Pal" then winks with double six shooters.

Agent: "Arbeiten papieren? Your Vork paperz?"

BigTime: Face drops, "Ummm, I don't have any."

Agent: Summoning other agents, "Pleaze ztep over here. Wiss deese uhzer peeble, Zank you"

Other agents lead BigTime away for further detention and interrogation.

All he had to do was tell them he was visiting one of his companies branch offices for a meeting. He would have gotten a "Zank you, enjoy your schtay." And that would have been it. When you big time government officials, you are "the man" or a complete idiot, I haven't decided.

Another incident revolves around telling upper management his ideals and volunteering information on how things should be run, in his opinion.

My favorite is giving parents advise on how they should raise their children, although he is childless. (Haven't found that perfect woman, yet)

What's the moral to this story? None. You probably know someone like this in your daily life. Some people find them irritating. Me? They give me great material.
