What's the Point?

I have a few issues today - one in particular which is centered around my all too inclusive office environment.

We have a new member of the team. His name, for my intents and purposes, is Pointless Equipment Man. Let me paint a picture: He's gay, he's chirpy, he seems to have a relatively important job which involves walking around the office talking on a headset which is attached to some kind of portable telecommunications device.

Does he have a desk? Yes. Then what, pray tell, is his excuse for being so mobile? Why does he need to walk around the office talking on his phone? Does he have a phone on his desk? Yes. Is it in good working order? Yes. Does he have a comfortable chair? Yes, I checked it myself. So, I can only conclude that Pointless Equipment Man and his portable communications devices are completely FUCKING POINTLESS in our office space, given the bounty of office equipment and furniture that our employer provides all employees.

Now, this kind of person isn't completely unique to my office. They exist elsewhere, and it's my duty to inform you all of the existence of this species. Here, for your reference, is a link to an image of the Pointless Equipment Man Breed.

I have seen him too with my own eyes. He is indeed gay / chirpy and irritating and I could not agree more with this post...
