    I was born with glass bones and paper skin yet somehow I can still withstand more damage than a middle manager’s ego.

      Used to work with an awesome chick named Velma. Boss pronounced it Thelma for three years. She finally started calling him Craig instead of Greg. Dude quit a year later after everyone else picked it up.

        He should have started calling her Lauren I didn’t see as fragile ego as his.

          He spelled it that way too. Unless being an asshole causes a speech impediment I don’t think that was the case .
