The other day at work we were talking about the different
types of people at work and how they are compared to animals. We came up with slugs, toads, leeches,
monkeys and pigs.
Slugs: These are the
individuals who never take the initiative to do anything. They tend to appear busy at all times but
never get anything accomplished and love to pass work off onto others. They also complain nonstop about everything.
Leeches: These are the individuals who take the credit for a
project when they contributed little to nothing. They also tend to hang around those that work
hard thus giving the appearance of being a hard worker themselves. They also love to brag about how important
they are to the company.
Toads: I’m not sure how we came up with toads because all I
could think about was how when a dog puts a toad in their mouth they tend to
foam at the mouth which causes them to spit the toad out. Then again there are people who would fit in
the toad category. I can think a few
people that have caused me to get so angry that if I was prone to foam at the
mouth I probably would.
Monkeys: These are the hard working individuals. They are the ones that are called upon when
something really needs to get done. They
are smart, dependable, and loyal. Of
course monkeys pick bugs off each other, make rude sounds at the zoo and have
been known to spit. Not sure if that
makes them smart or not. I’ve never
picked a bug off of someone, nor have I spit at anyone and I know I tend to try
and not make rude sounds at work; coworkers don’t appreciate that at all.
Pigs: These are the smart people. Of course one coworker asked how smart a pig
is, since we eat pigs so if they were really that smart wouldn’t they come up
with a way to not be eaten. When she
said this I was reminded of the book “Charlotte’s Web”, Wilbur was a very smart
pig, he got Charlotte to spin her web into words so everyone thought that he
was a brilliant pig. I guess in reality
Wilbur should have been a leech instead of a pig, but then again maybe leeches
are really as smart as a pig after all they do get others to do their work
while taking the credit for it just like Wilbur.
While I’m still not sure what kind of animal I am I know for
sure I’m not a toad, leech or a slug but I’m not too sure if I’m a monkey or
pig. Neither one sounds like something
I would want to put on my resume but then again maybe I would?
