Collins Street, Melbourne – A young woman from a local finance firm has started to wear a fake moustache to all of her meetings.
Jennifer Grey, 24, was sick and tired of constantly being accused of being bossy and opinionated by her manager, Diego Johnson. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
“Here’s the thing” Said Grey “I’m not opinionated”
“I turn up to meetings, and apart from Diego, nobody says a word! Instead of conforming to the group’s behaviour, I constantly make an effort to contribute my thoughts and suggestions to the group”
“Then, at my weekly catch up with Diego, I have to listen to him banging on about how I was out of line in the team meeting last Monday.”
According to Grey, the last straw was when Johnson asked the team what they’d like to do for their upcoming team building afternoon.
“He asked what we should do for the activity, and I simply suggested we could perhaps go ten pin bowling. The prick then got all shirty because I delivered my opinion in an aggressive manner”
“Well, you know what? I’d had enough of his unstable fragility. If you can’t beat em, join em! So on goes the moustache!”
Since then, Grey is pleased (and slightly exasperated) to report that Johnson has done a complete 180 and is now entirely open and receptive to Grey’s suggestions.
“Jennifer has completely changed her attitude in my meetings! I can’t believe how well she’s taken on my feedback! And I love the ‘stache. It’s like having our very own Merv Hughes… or Magnum P.I!”
When Grey was asked to corroborate this, she had this to say, “Absolute bollocks! Diego had once again asked us about the team activity, and I literally suggested the same damn thing as I did last week – ten pin bowling”
And it seems that Grey’s moustache will be making an appearance at next week’s ten pin bowling sesh as well.
“Make no mistake, I will DESTROY Diego at bowling. But if I do it without the ol’ Burt Reynolds on my lip, then who knows what levels of butt hurt will await me the next day”
