Office Space: UK

My cubicle will soon be on British television! A recording crew was in the office today interviewing our division chief, the boss of my boss, and filming little segments of him strolling down the office hallway (it took just three takes. This man has been on CNN, 60 Minutes, World News Tonight, the Daily Show, etc., etc. ...ITV doesn't faze him.) I didn't make it into any shots, but a tiny segment of my cubicle wall should.

After the shoot, as I was covering the phones for our secretary, I got a call from one of the ITV people. She was waiting downstairs for an interview with another doctor, who was apparently in a meeting with our chief. She gave me his name and told me to tell him that they were waiting. "He's the one with a cap," she said, "at least he was wearing a cap earlier today."

What sane professional wears a cap during a meeting? Turns out, no sane professional wears a cap during a meeting. Which was why, when I barged in on the very important meeting, I wasn't sure who of the two strangers in the room I should address. I looked to the dead air between the two as best as I could and asked weakly for a Dr. Brozan.

"I'm a doctor now?" he said with a chuckle.

I didn't really know what to do with that. Because I was told that he was. And I think google said that he was. (Though google image totally got him wrong.) So I sheepishly gave him his message (I think I annoyed our chief), and got dashed out of the room. And this is why I'll never make it big in the UK.
