Office-Leave-Blooper
Patrick, after a tiring day (night actually) from work, went to the HR office to file his leave-of-absence due to his scheduled graduation which will be on April 3. Since Patrick wanted to make his vacation long enough so that he can relax, he thought of filing his leave starting March 28. So he approached Adelfa and asked for instructions on how to file his leave.
Patrick: Hi Adelfa!
Adelfa: Hi Patrick!
Patrick: Can you help me fill out my application for a leave-of-absence (after almost a year of not filing it)?
Adelfa: Sure! You just need to fill up the bottom portion of the form under the "NO-PAY LEAVE".
Patrick: Thanks Adelfa!
*Patrick fills out the leave-of-absence form while Adelfa went out elsewhere*
Patrick: Where could have Adelfa went?
*Charmaine enters the room*
Patrick: Hi Charmaine! Can I leave this leave-of-absence form to you because Adelfa went out and I do need to go home now 'coz I am very tired.
Charmaine: Sure! Let me see it.
*Patrick hands over the form. Charmaine reviewed it*
Charmaine: I'm sorry Patrick, but you need to have Carlos sign this one out to confirm your leave.
Patrick: Carlos will be out of office up until next week.
Charmaine: Who's next with Carlos?
Patrick: Can I sign the leave myself? I am next to him.
Charmaine: That can't be. Can you file it online?
Patrick: I don't know how to file it online.
Charmaine: You're a programmer and you don't know how to file it?
Patrick: I never had browsed the site that you're talking about.
Charmaine: Grab a seat!
*Patrick sat on Adelfa's chair while Charmaine prepares the site*
Charmaine: All you need to do is just to fill this one out correctly.
*Patrick fills out the form. He scratched his head afterwards*
Patrick: Is there a problem with the system? I can't press the CONTINUE button.
Charmaine: Let me see ... *looks at the application form*
Charmaine: It's because you need to file this one out 7 days before your date of leave.
Patrick: Geez! I never knew that policy. What shall I do?
Charmaine: I think you need to go to Chris upstairs and have him sign this one out.
*Patrick goes upstairs, panting. He went inside Chris's office*
Patrick: Good morning Chris!
Chris: Hey Patrick! What can I do for you?
Patrick: Chris, Carlos is not in his office today up until next week. Jon could not also have his signature here because he's not here of course. HR told me that you will be the one to sign this one out for me.
*Chris looks at the application*
Chris: I'm sorry Patrick, but I cannot sign this one out. You should have approached me 7 days before your date of leave.
Patrick: But I have no one to have it signed. We already talked to Jon and he has approved it, but to my dismay we just discussed it on a personal chat program.
Chris: Then have Jon call me.
*Patrick calls Jon by his cellular phone. They talked blah shu*
*Patrick called Carlos and told him about the situation, now holding his application for leave-of-absence*
*Chris enters the room and grabbed the piece of paper that Patrick held and signed it and returned it to Patrick. Chris then left*
Patrick (shouting): NOOOOO ... this isn't my application! He signed Carlos' application, not mine!
SILLY!
Patrick: Hi Adelfa!
Adelfa: Hi Patrick!
