He’s the only one
Who carries a briefcase,
A mismatch with his sports jacket
And school spirit shirt.
Considering his back problems,
The contents must weigh a ton—
With the school plan,
The teacher reviews,
The district meeting agenda,
A book on the latest pedagogy,
And other confidential files—
Or so we thought.
Behind his office door,
We miss the big reveal:
An unused legal pad,
A book of Sudoku puzzles,
Yesterday’s sports page,
And lunch.

How hilarious. I hope this is a true story. It is true though, how we assume that someone is so important based on their title and the way they carry themselves. I read a Stephen King story about that recently. This guy has a front as a big office Wall Streety type, but then he changes his clothes and acts like a blind, homeless guy. It reminded me of that story.
I wish I could tell you that it's not true. Truth is stranger than fiction. That Stephen King story sounds very familiar to a scene from Palahniuk's Haunted. One might be ripping off the other.
