Because describing the rest of what's going on at work would just depress me, a Head Monkey story instead.
A guy from the electric company comes in to read the meter. It's the Head Monkey's day off, so the guy says, "Well, when he gets back in, tell him we'll be playing softball on Tuesday nights this year. He's always interested in the team I coach."
"OK," I say, jotting a note. "Tuesday night softball with -- what's your name?"
"Well, my name is Percy, but he thinks it's Felix, for some reason. So just tell him it's from Felix."
So I tell the Head Monkey about this when he comes in the next day. And he gets this hurt, baffled expression on his face and says, "I've known Felix for ten years! He never told me his name was Percy!"
