Tonight while talking with my supervisor at his desk, I was startled, when of all things, I saw written in big letters on his laptop..."EVO". My first thoughts were, what is he doing with Evo's laptop? How does he know Evo to steal her laptop? Why hasn't Evo mentioned the loss of her laptop? :confused:

Still not sure what is going on, so I am going to keep an eye on him, you can never tell about these mangament types.

So, Evo, do you know where your laptop is?

Was that created by one of those geeks who made a shrine for you? :-p
 
We are a "Compaq shop" around here so I hear Evo's name mentioned frequently. Sometimes it can be kind of amusing.
 
Am I reading these replies correctly? Does this mean that just maybe the company DID buy that labtop for him... (now why would my company but that brand of laptop anyway? :rolleyes: )

Does this mean that my boss is not a klepto? Perhaps I do not need to keep a hand on my wallet while he is arround... Whew... That is good news! o:)
