What is the name?

Posted by Claudia Moser on 3:32 PM in
I have to share with you a small story which happened today in the office.

One of my office cabinets, had one of its boards broken, thus I called the facility and asked them to fix it.

So the janitor comes and takes a look and identified the problem.

Anyway I want an extra sideboard (you cannot imagine how many folders and paper I gathered in 3 years!! I hope we have some space left in the office archive), so I inquired what is the name of the sideboard, with the thought that it must have an identification which can be used in following correspondence.

So the janitor goes: 'Johansson!'

And I ask: 'Are you sure?'

He goes: 'Yes, Johansson!'

And I say: 'The sideboard's name is Johansson?'

'No, my name is Johansson!'

The PA and I are still laughing and I cannot look at my sideboard without smiling. The poor guy has the same name as the sideboard :)))))

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
