I don't like to blog

I don't like to blog about work because I love my job and I would like to keep it, but just a little incident today that I found extremely amusing at a meeting with (names have been changed to protect the innocent):

Co-worker 1: Ya know, instead of submitting a paper form we could create an Access form to have them enter the information they need. What do you think, Jody?
Jody: Sounds good, do you know Access? All my work is done on Excel because I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Excel.
Co-worker 1: Yes, I know a little about the program.
Co -worker 2: That does sound like a good idea.
Everyone nods in agreement because they like the idea of trying Access.
Boss: Hmm...let's try that. How else could we simplify our processes?
Clueless 1: Well we could create something on the computer. We could do it with a form, like a database. We could... HEY I GOT A GREAT IDEA! WE COULD USE ACCESS! Have you lowly peons, who I have been ignoring for the entire meeting and obviously did not notice that you just talked about using Access, used Access?

Yeah well maybe it didn't happen quite like that but you get the idea. Do you know how hard it is in a small conference room with 3 out of the 5 people trying to not die laughing? This guy literally is in a world of his own. Okay, maybe not as funny to you as to me. But it made me laugh.
