Productivity Killer

Posted July 3rd @ 3:28 pm by Jeff Riles

At work I have a sign above my computer that says:

“Please Disturb: Extroverts at Work.”

Extrovert Sign

Both myself and my friend Kelton are huge extroverts and often need human interaction. However, sometimes our extroverted-ness kills productivity. I was talking with my buddy (and co-worker) Zach when his boss Terry Storch came in and called me a productivity killer. In my defense I said, “He’s taking a break and eating.” To which Terry replied … “I don’t pay him to eat.” HA

Back to work I go … trying to be productive.

However, in the process of trying to get back to work, Randy Coleman (Central Group Leader of Programming) came in and hit the wall in my office incredibly loudly trying to scare people. Then he just laughed at everyone. He too, is an extrovert.

Then, Josh Trumel (Digerati Team Web Designer) and Alison Dowdy (Digerati Team Web Administrator) - they are introverts by the way, there signs above there desks say, “Do Not Distrub: Introverts at work - came in here with two cherries on one stem. They were so proud of the fact that they had found “siamese” cherries.

Siamese Cherries

To which Terry Storch replied, “This is why stem cell research is a bad idea.”

I love my job.

    It’s hard to be an extrovert at work. I have an easy solution for you… put your desk by the bathrooms where everyone comes in and out. You will live out extroversion to it’s fullest (and even get tired of it). Long live the E’s!
