We here at NBI LLC send out a big thanks to all of you whose faithful patronage has made us grow by leaps and bounds. If you like what we’re serving, please make sure to tell your friends about us and spread the word! Keep coming back, and we’ll keep shoveling out the funny. And don’t forget to stay tuned for what Doogleheimer & Schmit is going to do with all that money, what becomes of the turbulent romance between Bob and the International Girl, and the start of some big changes around the office!

Tickety-Boo

When Doogleheimer & Schmitt Corporate sent me down here a few months ago to straighten our Branch 7′s office policies, I treated it like nearly every other assignment I’ve had from them. You see, I’m an expert in organization, rules, and order. I like everything in its place. After all, the rules are there for a reason. They give our lives structure, and they define for us the boundaries of our working limitations, so that we can operate harmoniously. They give me such reassurance that by following the rules, I and all my co-workers will be able to achieve so much more than if we all were to run around chaotically.

So when I got here and saw what kind of a mess I had to straighten up, I knew that this was just another challenge I was going to overcome, like all the others in my life. And soon enough, everything would fall into line and be all tickety boo. That’s just an old phrase my grandmother taught me when I would visit her. She would have me help her clean her house until everything was all tickety boo. And then she’d pour us each a refreshment. I’d get sweet tea with lemon, and she’d have a glass of vermouth with a twist.

Anyway, you cannot imagine the resistance I’ve encountered here to making even the smallest office realignments. Whenever I find something that is out-of-alignment with our office rules and principles, I make a small note in my BlackBookBerry about it and then engage the responsible party to bring it back into alignment, or to eliminate the cause of the mis-alignment if necessary.

I’ve been having a tough time of it. I’ve taken to my grandmother’s old remedy most evenings when I get home.

But I refuse to give up, because my grandmother never quit. She never let the dust win in the Great Battle of Tickety Boo! So if you see me scribbling in my book and walking toward you for a brief chat, get ready to be realigned. Because from now on, I’m all business!
