Sharon and Gilbert, unbridled enthusiasm for 'Summer Survivor' is apparent!

We have an office mascot that lives in the lunchroom, his name is Gilbert. We originally bought him 15 years ago to help market native crafts from the Island of Palawan in the South China sea. The only reason I can remember his age is it corresponds to that of my first born son. Gilbert (not my son) was, at that time, a 'Tax Write Off' (as was his food, and my Kayak trips staged out of Port Barton, Philippines, to obtain these crafts). Then we got audited. Yes, the nice, beleaguered audit man that sat in our office going over all our accounts allowed Gilbert the 'Tax Write Off' for a couple of years. But when we dropped the baskets of the Tasaday Tribe, Gilbert the 'Tax Write Off' no longer earned his keep. Mercenary bent of mind that I am, I was all in favor of having Gilbert for dinner, but my compassionate family & 'stakeholders' prevailed. So Gilbert, who BTW, is still a huge 'pain in the ass' 10 years later, still intimidates with his habit of drawing an amount of blood from my finger that would keep any horde of West Nile mosquitoes happy for a decade. This bold behaviour continues apace, in spite of the fact he lives without the protection afforded by the Canadian Income Tax Act withal. (If my wife and kids ever leave me, Gilbert the erstwhile 'Tax Write Off', will be released into the Canadian Rockies in contravention of the National Parks Act, Wildlife regulations, Section I, Subsection 3(a).) So, if you care about Gilbert, read on...

Gilbert is in the habit of repeating things he hears me say on the phone over and over. Sharon usually looks after technical aspects such as maintaining the MSDS databases, but also looks after Gilbert. She mentioned to me that Gilbert is now repeating phrases such as, "squawk! HOMS 'Kids formulation', squawk" (he is not bilingual by the way so we cannot quote him on our labels). This tells me that I am doing something wrong. I must be repeating the same things over and over without being aware of it. Gilbert, who possesses what scientists tell me is the psycholinguistic mind of an average 3 year old human child, is actually trying to let me know that my time is better served elsewhere!
