Cubicle Conundrum - Day 8

Q: What are you doing?

N: Inventing.

Q: Huh?

N: My boss thinks I don't add enough value so I'm inventing.

Q: Wow. That's a good thing.

N: Yeah I'm hoping to really give him something that will strengthen my weakening position as an invaluable member of my team.

Q: That's a great way to take criticism.

N: Yeah, plus I think I'm onto something.

Q: Awesome, let me hear your idea.

N: Okay how's this - "I'm afraid if I add more value the customer won't be able to afford us."

Q: Wait, WHAT are you inventing?

N: An excuse.
