Ra The Sun God

We have not one but two Gods at my place of employment, I know I know it must be a trully blessed place. Oh and while I'm mentioning new nicknames I think I'm just going to start calling where I work Sprockets Inc (Sprockets for short). Back to this sun god thing. Ra was named Ra because he must feel that the sun rises and sets just for him. Ra is one of those people who if you tell Ra something Ra always has a story to top what you just told Ra. Tito works in the cubicle right next to Ra and let me tell you he is honored to get to hear the many great and wonderous deeds of Ra. He's so humbled that I decided that he needed a ticket created on our bug tracking system that will allow Tito to compile an ongoing list of the deeds of his holiness. Below is just the beginning of Ra's many great deeds:

Ra:
  1. Started his own computer company at the age of 8.
  2. Was offered a spot on some professional soccer clubs team.
  3. Was speeding down a highway one day and was pulled over by a policeman, when the policeman asked him why he was in a hurry, Ra looked at him and told him that "Ra had a test and could not possibly be late." After Ra proclaimed this the officer then told him that he would escort Ra to class so that Ra would not be late.
  4. Ra is such a great fisherman that when Ra goes to the ocean he can catch enough fish to feed 3 families for a month.
  5. Ra knows more about databases than ANY other developer.
  6. At Ra's last place of employement Ra did everyone's job, people used to wait in line to ask him to do things.
  7. In school Ra did all the work in group projects despite the fact that Ra was working full time.
  8. In Egyptian highschool Ra did much harder work than Ra ever was made to do in college.
  9. At Ra's last job they offered to relocate Ra to Chicago however Ra deemed that it was much better to stay in Columbus.
  10. Ra used to smoke three packs of cigarettes day. (Please keep in mind that while
    Ra is a God but if Ra was a person Ra would be about 25).

After seeing this short list of the great deeds of Ra you can only imagine how great working in Ra's pressence must be. As time goes on I hope to add more of the deeds of Ra so that we all can read about it and be humbled.

That's nothing! I once knew a guy so self-centred that he... ;)

Scott Adams calls this kind of guy a "Topper". c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_characters_in_Dilbert (search for "topper").

If you sit next to a god at work, are you supposed to sacrafice animals when you go to your cubicle every morning.
