where's the new guy????

Now I work in an office of 6 that is designed for 7. Now one of the workers left about 2 weeks ago. In his place we were promised another worker. But where's the new guy? Every day we hear the same story he is on the way. No one at his old place of employment knows anything about him. Mind you he is coming from a couple hundred miles away to Abilene and his hometown is only 40 something miles away. But where's the new guy? We have work lined up for him and great potential for this individual. This is a nice office with A/C in the summer (where it goes over 100 degrees) and a heater in the winter where we seldom get snow. He has a spacious cubicle with a new computer and a new phone with a window to his back he can turn and see all the elements that people who work outside have to deal with. Admist all the turmoil and confusion we still sit and wait, each time the phone rings it could be him, and each time the door opens it could be him. But we still we are waiting and asking ourselves, where's the new guy????
