"So how is Uno?"
"Works well when under constant supervision and when cornered like a rat in a trap."
"Yes but does he hold his own"
"Are you saying what I think you are saying?"
"I mean is his work adequate?"
"He has delusions of adequacy. He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them."
"But does he get on with the other workers?"
"He would argue with a signpost. He has a knack for making strangers with everyone immediately. He brings a lot of joy whenever he leaves the room."
"When I have talked to him he seems OK"
"If you see two people talking and one looks bored, he's the one doing the talking."
"But do you think he is teachable?"
"Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, he only gargles. All in all it's hard to believe that he beat 1,000,000 other sperm to the egg."
I always put in a good word for Uno when he is up for promotion.
