Congratulations www.twobarkingdogs.com
I really despise brown-nosers. We had this one called Fred who would always be the one to throw away the manager's garbage or grab him a beer at the family picnic. Anything to make you laugh at his self-esteem.
At work, the manager sent out an e-mail to announce that there will be a department meeting in the afternoon. Attendance is required. At first people thought it was a meeting on benefits or some new development job we got or whatever. Until one person, also no fan of Fred, decided that the meeting was to announce Fred's promotion.
So he went around and told people that Fred is getting promoted while winking his eye. "Ah, now I understand. Fred is getting promoted". People then throughout the day went to Fred's office to say things like
Through out the day you can see this guy's head kept getting bigger and bigger. When the meeting rolled around, he had to have his head pried out of his office.
When Fred got to the meeting he was sitting there straight and tall. Even had a fresh tie on. He was tense and excited through the whole meeting which was on the new changes to the 401K plan. Then the manager shut the projector off and turned on the lights, "Are there any questions ?". At that moment Fred was ready to accept his promotion and read his congratulatory statement on a slip of paper he wrote down.
Then the manager says, "That's it, back to work." Then Fred's dreams were shattered. Like giving the manager the wrong brand of beer at the picnic. He was devastated. Then as a last ditch effort he says, "Oh, did you forget something." The managers says, "Nope" and at that point we shrugged our shoulders and told Fred, "Oh well, you know how rumors go."
