Running Late

A friend of mine told me this story ... and this story for security reasons will have to remain anonymous.

So the story starts off in the morning as he/she is going to work and ... ok let's give him/her a name.  Hmmm after a few IMs, I have four different names, Pauline, George, Bok and Montgomery.  I guess if you put them all together you get Paugeboky (pronounced Paw-Gee-Bok-Ee).

Alright let's start the story, so my friend Paugeboky was running late to work, really late (over an hour late) and I'll try to leave out unnecessary details to keep this short and to the point.  He gets in and sees a coworker in the elevator and some chit chat goes back and forth.  As he gets out of the elevator on their floor, they make their way past the first security door.  

With the first steps through that door he notices at the end of the hall that his boss is just arriving too.  But instead of turning towards where their offices are, the boss made a quick detour into the bathroom for a morning stop.  

Paugeboky saw this as an opporturnity!  So he left his coworker and ran as fast as he could down the hall ways and past the other offices while taking off his jacket.  Got to his office, threw his coat on the hook and sat in his chair.  Turned on his computer and grabbed his coffee mug.  Then he makes his way back up the way he just came from his coffee mug in hand ... sees his boss coming down the hall and greets them good morning!  

I think this was ingenious how he ran by his boss and picked up that coffee mug as if he'd been sitting there for at least an hour already!  Hopefully his boss didn't notice or hear someone running by the bathroom door.
