A day in the office :meetings with Dr Evil

My uncle called for a "kick-start" meeting this morning. Yes both he & me, worked for my dad, but since he is technically older, he's like my manager. Also I only there on partime as I'm still in school. Anyway every time he said kickstart, he did an inverted quotes mime with his fingers , as if the meeting wasn't really called this at all. The action drives me nuts - reminds me of Dr Evil from Austin Powers .....lol... It's basically a pep talk  about how we should all work harder and make more money for my dad & him (my dad gives him generous bonus )

Kim the office bootlicker whooped at the end of every sentence (it's so odd, who does that ?).  I seriously wanted to start kicking her. Maybe that's where the name comes from. Also it's obvious she has a crush on my uncle. He announced that we might have a brand new order from a brand new client. I immediately started thinking of excuses why I couldn't work on it. Then he thank Kim for agreeing to do the leg work. Then I remember my dad saying something about my bonus, so I too became very interested in this new account.

My uncle was overjoyed when I volunteered to work on this & said he was glad that his "kickstart " meetings were already having an effect .
And yes, he did the finger thing again ...omg...
