A Conversation With My Boss

Boss: I'd like you to take out that trash.

Me: Okay, where does it go?

Boss: The University has been moving into an exciting area, called Tactical Urban Learning. Now the idea is that when students begin to move in for the semester, teams, or "squads," of educators will try to pick off the leaders with high-powered learning tools and Rocket Propelled Distance Education from elevated vantage points, which we'll already control. This will cause the rest to "scatter," or disperse quickly, while "dumbing" randomly in the air. That's where our Mobile Education Fattening Pens will come into play, and trash will be placed into dumpsters behind the building.

Me [perking up]: Hey, what was that?

Boss [cutting me off]: Listen to what I'm saying, please. We have to work together to lower our coefficient and reduce lagtime, not to mention thermal breakdown. Once GBAST and JNUMNCT settle the students down, whatever guerrilla actions take place should be able to be controlled with the systematic use of catchy mnemonic devices piped across the quad and stunning Power Point presentations. Then we release the Edu-bots. And I'd like you to take care of the trash, please.

Me: Okay. Whatever.

Boss: Thanks, it was a great talk.
