An April Fool’s Shark Tank
Shark Tank: Well, it IS April 1, after all
Everybody gets along pretty well in this Army IT office. Well, almost everybody, says a pilot fish in uniform.
“We had an associate who thought he knew everything but really didn’t,” fish says. “It’s not like we didn’t make him feel at home — he just needed to grow up.”
“One day at 10 a.m., the guy’s PC pops up a message: ‘You are working too hard. You need to take a five-minute break.’ Then it displays a countdown timer.
“He decided to dismiss the timer,” says fish. “But we had the system display another message: You appear to be stressed out. You should take a 10-minute stress break.
“We could hear the guy saying a few words that small fry should not hear. He obviously did not like what the computer was telling him, because he tried to reboot the computer.
“Which then presented him with the message: ‘You are obviously in need of an early lunch break and should come back at 1:00. If you do not, I will shut down for the rest of the day.’
“The next thing we heard was his door slamming, and when we went into his office, we saw a note on his screen.
“It said he had an errand to run and would be back at 1:00.”
