Cubicle Conundrum - Day 60

N: I've got this REALLY important presentation tomorrow.

Q: Preparing hard, huh?

N: Yeah I spent the last seven hours learning 3D effects on this image editing software so I could come up with a background so impressive, that the content won't even matter.

Q: And how much content do you have?



N: I just put the topic on 74 different slides in varying shades of 16 colours. If I'm right, they should be asleep by the time I hit slide number two and they should wake up briefly at slides 16, 41 and 67 to amalgamate their false sense of intellect by asking me irrelevant and pseudo-intellectual questions which I plan on answering by employing clever acts of distraction and some sleight of hand which is not unlike those you would see performed by a very bad magician.



Q: ….

N: ….



Q: That will never work.

N: Really?



Q: Yes. You can’t get away with a lack of content by trying cheap distractions.

N: I guess you’re right. These tricks aren’t going to work.

Q: Exactly.



N: Know where I can get a rabbit, a cape and a hat?
