Keep It Simple , Sweetheart

Keep It Simple , Sweetheart !


I remember an incident from my trainee days . I was discussing with the personnel manager about an assignment that was about to conclude . He suggested , " Why don't you just invite my secretary inside sothat she can take dictation while we discuss . We then will correct on the soft copy itself and submit our report . " So I went outside . It was time for a break and I saw her sipping tea . I told her to come inside after she finished tea.I came inside and sat down . We began to discuss. Ten minutes passed , fifteen passed , there was no sign of the secretary . The personnel manager looked at me and I looked at him . He suddenly asked ( knowing me as he did ) " What did you tell her ? "

" When you have completed consuming the nourishment from the container , please make it convenient to present yourself at the manager's desk . "


Keep It Simple , Sweetheart !
