Reason #21902 Why I Love Corporate America

So someone asks me to fix up a powerpoint. I say, "sure, should take me about an hour." The look I got was priceless, like "wait wait wait, you mean something can get done in LESS than a day? INCONCIEVABLE!" It was actually a gross overestimate on my part, but it gives me an hour to fill. So I finish it in 30 minutes, look at some amusing movie quotes (note to self: watch Swingers), then send it out.
I get the response back "great job" along with the suggestion that "you might wanna keep that a secret."
Yes, I'm good at something...better not let that get out! Back to pursuing mediocrity!
