    I heard he was even trying to take control. In the end though, he was just able to get home.

    Nice, this joke works in Swedish too! First time I’ve seen a joke work perfectly like this in both languages.

      I mean… The words are the same, but how would you work in the fact that he’s both putting in shifts, and working them? How would you phrase it? I’m having trouble making it a smooth joke in Swedish.

    Previously, the poor guy worked at a fab for mobile processors. The task was simple, catch wafers falling from machines fast. Guy has RISC’d his ARMs for the job.

    He said he had it under control, but when management zeroed in on keeping tabs on this guy, they noticed he was still missing shifts. When confronted, the guy escaped before they could Caps Lock him inside for further questioning.

      I would fire him if he kept insisting on having his shifts under control. What absolute madman puts their shift under control?
