I just really like it that I thought I need to share it. Enjoy! 😀
◊ One day the manager calls the consultant to talk about the time sheet report…
Manager: You charged us on Wednesday for 19 hours, but you were here for only about 9 hours on Wednesday.
Consultant: Well, of course. Look, it is very detailed. I was here from 9:00 to 18:00, right?
Manager: Right.
Consultant: And because we left without a good solution, I kept thinking about it in the car, and when I walked the dog. You see, it is the entries for 18:00 – 19:30 and 20:00 – 20:45. From 19:30 – 20:00 I had dinner, I didn’t charge you for that.
Manager: Nice of you. And the other 8 hours? 22:00 – 06:00 ?
Consultant: Well,when I walked the dog, I finally had a vision, everything came together in a moment of brilliance, and I could see the solution in my head. All I had to do is connect some little pieces and it would work.
Manager: Oh, so you did an all nighter?
Consultant: Ha? Of course not. I went home thinking about the idea, and then I went to bed and slept on it for 8 hours. ◊
