We had an employee once who essentially narrated himself. For instance, if he was installing the latest build of our software to test the installer, he might say something like this:

    I'm putting the floppy in the drive. I see it on the
    desktop. I'm double clicking it. I see the new
    installer. Now I'm opening RegEdit. I'm finding the
    keys for $OurProduct, and deleting them to test a fresh
    install. Now I'm double clicking the installer. I see
    a dialog box. I'm typing in my product key, and hitting
    the install button...
If you had to do anything with him, he'd include you in the narration:

    OK, now I'm watching Bob make a new release for me to test.
    His compile finished, and he's copying to a floppy. He's
    giving me the floppy. I'm going to go test it...
This got real annoying real fast.

Wow, that's hilarious. Any chance he was taking voice notes to a device?
