My boss and I were in the conference room today going over a presentation we're putting together for the district staff and about the time we started wrapping up my former boss walked in and stepped over to the flipchart. He wrote my name and stood there for a second as we looked on. It looked a little something like this.

Fearing what I expected would happen next, I was pleasantly surprised when he stepped away from the flipchart and revealed what he added:

Starting to like where this was going, and being the humble person that I am, I chimed in with the next one - to which he added the "over":

The game continues ...

... keep in mind, engineers are not always known for the creativity (or their humility, I came up with this one too) ...

... yeah, and this one too ...

And then out of nowhere my former boss - with the perfect comedic timing that he's exhibited many times in the past - ends with the most classic of impromptu office evaluations ...

It was truly one of those moments when no one knew (including the man with the marker) where the whole thing was going and then it ended up at the only place it possibly could. Definitely a classic. It's great to know that I'm appreciated.
