And saying anyone's mom sounds like a stereotypical anything is a little beyond the pale.
I dunno. I have heard comments like that about people being stereotypically a farm dad (in our Midwestern office) or saying someone had a stereotypic Catholic background. Maybe it's because I work in post-production, but people talk about EVERYTHING and ask questions about the same. I hear incredible conversations coming out of the breakroom all the time.
Once again, I think this guy is awkward and highly inappropriate and needs to be told how to behave, but he doesn't sound malicious. Also, women especially often have trouble laying down firm limits for friends or coworkers, so it's good practice for all of us (Hil included). So she can use this dork as a practice for this skill she will need for her future life.
I am interested in how old he is. I was assuming he was in his early 20s, where he doesn't have much work experience--if he's 35, it's a MUCH higher level of cluelessness.
The world is annoying today. I want to take a break from it. Preferably until the 21st, because then we'll be past all the killing anniversaries. I think I have work I need to do this weekend, though.
Sorry, Hil, for being all bossy and telling you what to s do. I know this guy must be incredibly hard to put up with.
Preferably until the 21st, because then we'll be past all the killing anniversaries.
Armenian genocide on the 24th.
Well, that's when Zankou will be closed for it.
Huh. I just realized that, if I wanted to, I could become a German citizen just by filling out a form. And going through a bunch of German bureaucracy. I don't think I want to.
I think I'm going to try to get some work done in my office this weekend. I've got stuff I need to do, and there will probably be no annoying questions or drunk people on weekends.
I think the Armenian Genocide wasn't really a one-day thing, the way that Columbine and Oklahoma City and Virginia Tech and Waco were.
Monday is the 10th anniversary of the Columbine shootings. CJ doesn't have school that day, it is a teacher in service day.
Further Avon rec: Their nail polishes are as good as many more spendy ones. I am especially pleased with the Speed Dry line.
ugg. So. That 10 minutes till dinner break. Ya. NSM. Asshat ass't didn't set up the equipment last week, he merely set it out. Nothing labeled, Nothing connected. Nothing. So dinner break was up there doing that. When I confronted him, he was like "I figured we would do that today" or some bullshit. So then I finally get away 2 hours later, and while I go pick up food, all hell breaks loose downstairs. My dept is in ruins. Equipment sucks. Personel Suck. It's a big fucking musical and nothing works. I was given specific instructions to not go over budget, so I'm trying to get everything to work for nothing, and of course failing. Designer is flipping out. And I feel like a fucking useless failure. So boss comes over, and is like "oh, just buy new DI's and 3 new mic elements. It's only $1500." Ya, but I only have $600. "so". SO? SO!!! You fuckin' told me if we go over budget people will get laid off. I sure as hell don't want to get furloughed for a few weeks. so. ugg.
