how much is a man worth (like a dollar)

it is 'administrative assistants day', so the old man bought us pizza.

when lunch arrived, he gave a speech that began with:

'asinine inc. is doing ok. not great. not as good as this time last year. but it will likely get better this year.'

apparently we'll be getting raises this year. small ones.

after most people had eaten, there were two boxes left on the table. the old man walked by diane's desk:

the old man: it looks like we're going to be about two pizzas over, so factor that into your equation. maybe get less salad.
diane: they aren't done yet. people are still coming back for more.
the old man: it looks we'll be about two over. factor that in.

so, two pizzas cost $25.98. divide that by twenty employees to get ~$1.30. none of us is worth that extra buck.
