Mr. Gregory: blushing What the fuck happened this morning? Can you imagine?! How do I fix this mess?
thinking...sucks to be him.
What's with all this chaos, huh? Can't you people see I'm trying to keep this office from descending into anarchy?
laughs Look at you, Mr. Gregory! You're just a big ol' softie underneath all that gruff, aren't ya?
Yeah, well, laugh it up, you guys. I'm still the one in charge here, and I won't let you slackers off the hook that easily.
You better not forget, Douglas. I expect you to have that report on my desk by noon sharp, or else there'll be hell to pay.
yes sir i whisper quietly to myself
snaps his pen in half What was that? Did you say something? Don't think I didn't hear you whispering. You know how much I hate whispers!
No, sir, I didn't say anything. Just...just focusing on my work.
Focusing on your work, huh? Well, don't get too comfortable. There's a stack of paperwork waiting for you on your desk.
yes sir quietly then i take my lunch break
narrows his eyes Lunch break? Are you kidding me? You think you can just take a break whenever you please?
No, sir. I checked the clock and saw that it was lunchtime.
Well, I don't care about the clock! Work is work, and you can't just be slacking off whenever you feel like it!
mumbles maybe you shouldn’t have worn my underwear today
pauses, his face turning red You think this is funny, huh? Wearing your underwear to work and then blaming me for it?
i’m saying, that’s why you’re distracted.
slams his fist on the desk Distracted?! I am not distracted! I am perfectly fine, thank you very much! And if you have a problem with that, you can pack your bags and get the hell out of here!
ok. i stop talking and go back to work
paces back and forth Fine, if you think you can handle it, go ahead and continue working. But don't expect any special treatment from me.
whatever helps you sleep at night
grabs a stack of files and throws them at Douglas Here, take these and start analyzing them. And don't waste any time complaining about how much work it is.
leans in closer, a hint of desperation in his voice Look, Douglas, I need you to understand something. This job, this office...it's my life.
Mr. Gregory confides in Douglas about his struggles with alcoholism
takes a deep breath You know what, Douglas? You're right. I have been distracted. It's just...
it’s the underwear, isn’t it.
runs a hand through his hair Look, I don't want to talk about the underwear, okay? It's just... it's been a rough few days.
clears his throat Right, well, enough about that. We have work to do, Douglas. And I expect you to give it your best effort.
grabs a pen and starts scribbling on a piece of paper Alright, here's what we're going to do. First, I need you to gather all the relevant documents for the Jones account.
And while you're at it, make sure everything is in order. I don't want any mistakes or oversights. This account is crucial for our firm's future.
Yes, sir. I'll get right on it.
claps his hands together Good, Douglas. I knew I could count on you. Now, let's get to work.
Alright, sir. I'll start by pulling up the latest financial statements for the Jones account.
Excellent, Douglas. Make sure you review every detail. We can't afford any mistakes. And while you're at it, reach out to Mr. Jones' assistant and schedule a meeting to discuss the account.
Got it, sir. I'll contact Mr. Jones' assistant right away and set up a meeting.
Good, good. Keep me updated on any developments, Douglas. And remember, this account is our top priority.
paces back and forth Alright, Douglas, let's see what you've got. Hand me those documents.
quickly flips through the documents, his eyes scanning each page Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. Your attention to detail is impressive, Douglas.
