It could only happen in a Dilbert cartoo

Don't you believe it.

In the multinational company I work for, a supplier put us on hold and would not deliver anything until we paid a late invoice.

I got all the files together and took them down to finance. I put on my best begging voice and asked her to make an immediate payment.

She said "no problem, I'll get it on Wednesday".

I said "But it's urgent, I need an immediate payment'

And she said "Yeah, we do all our immediate payments on a Wednesday" !!!

it's the same with the paramedic core in Brazil, someone ran into there station and shouted "THERE IS A MAN WHO HAS BEEN SHOT IN THE STREET AND HE IS BLEEDING A LOT" the receptionist said "o.k. i can fit him in on wednesday, can he make that?" "i don't know he might be A LITTLE BIT DEAD",, that gives me a idea, i have to get a best begging voice.

Uuhh, right. Anyway.

No hints as to this hitherto unmentioned multinational's identity, Rosco?
