I amuse me

I have a pretty excellent job.

In one meeting today I threatened to feed a coworker to the pigs, and he correctly identified it as a Deadwood reference. There would have been much hilarity and cursing, Mr. Wu stylee, except for the presence of one humourless fellow.

In another meeting I responded to a particularly dumb statement with “Have you the brain worms?” (I didn’t do the voice.) The target of this question thought I was joking.

The moral of the story: there is a reason why I am sticking to the technical track and very definitely staying off the management track. (And it’s not just that I hate doing review paperwork.)
