Stupidest Writer Ever of the Week.
'Tis pitiable that all these hilarious moments really pretty much come from just one girl... one massively stupid girl to be sure, but considering the kind of equally moronic company she has among the writers in that particular office, you'd think the quotable quips would be a little more spread out. At any rate, the Stupidest Writer Ever yesterday was writing a story about money being allocated to the school board or some such vaguely economic topic, and needed a consult from the Accounting Department to help her fine-tune it.
SWE: (under breath) Ohmigod... ugh... (loudly, from the other side of the office) Laura! [our accounting supervisor] Laura! Can you come help me with something for a sec!? Laura!
Laura: Sure, what's up?
SWE: I need some help. Can you do me a favor? Can you write something out for me on this piece of paper?
Laura: Uhm... ok. What?
SWE: Can you write out one million, five hundred twenty-four thousand, fourteen for me??
Laura: You mean, like, the words?
SWE: No, in numbers. I'm not used to seeing numbers that big and I don't know how to write it. Can you show me??
Laura: Uhhh.... ok? It's 1,524,014.
SWE: Oh! THAT'S what it looks like! Wow, it has like two commas. I never would have guessed. Thanks!!
Laura: Uhhmm.... sure.
THE END
Here's the part where I remind you, dear readers, that this girl WENT TO A REALLY GOOD COLLEGE AND GRADUATED AND EVERYTHING. AND YET. THIS. GAAAHHHHHH!
