[diabolical_Tanya]

This is a true story so mi a change up the names

the Coordinator I support - Mark

the project mgr who does work for my dept working with Mark - John

The VP mark reports to - David

Yesterday after work Me Mark and smaddy else irrelevant to the story went to the gym.

Mark went an did weights and me and the other one went to play racquet ball.

after his work out Mark went to the hot-tub where he ran into John. Mark said John's behavior in the hot tub was extremely out of character for the John he knew to the point where he thought John might have been drunk, except he could not smell any booze.

Re: Madness

Mark said John was very arrogant and was talking a whole bunch of fawt about how he was offered a position he had applied for on Saturday (they have not even scheduled interviews yet) and how he was now Mark's boss (position reporting structure noh goh soh) and how he has developed a golf app that is going to make the company billions (we not in that line of business) etc etc

So Mark just kinda went along with the convo even though he was quite bewildered.

Then John seh, hey man, lets go get a beer so Mark said okay sure. Dem goh locker room goh shower and change an ting and Mark finish before John soh him goh outside to wait for him.

5 mins later John exit the locker room dressed in gym clothes carrying him raquet and walk past Mark like him noh know him.

Re: Madness

this afternoon Mark spoke with David to find out if John had really gotten the position, (David is on the selection panel)

David said John showed up to work late this morning and started acting like an Orangutan so the cops were called to take him away and the cops decided he needed to go to hospital for a psych evaluation........

the end...for today

Re: Madness

How old is John?

This sounds like early-onset Alzheimer's

Re: Madness

I dont know John personally so I will find out his age tomorrow.

I would assume though from the work place demographic he is in his 40 - 50's

Re: Madness

yes all joking aside with the drugs thing, then again mi nuh know how drugs mek yuh act

it could be neurological. him nuh have any family unnu can voice concerns to ? would hate to think him just get up one day and wander off or just vanish \0/

the other co-worker seh him did seem loopy/drunk in the hot tub, but maybe that could have been a minor stroke (slurred speech etc ) or tumor like rich seh
