It’s raining. If you live near any big metropolitan area, you know that rain is sure death to the daily commute. So I trucked over to my ‘other’ worksite and visited ‘the boyz’.
Nothing like talking tech for 4 or 5 hours. Listening to peeps argue the merits of one technology vs another. Showing me their new cool code and toys. It’s fun, but I do begin to wonder about myself sometimes.
A major discussion broke out about how they could make it better, faster, and more sexy. So I dared them to. Now I have to write up a bunch of specs. I always seem to be creating work for myself.
While sitting in someone’s cube, the boss dropped by and this conversation ensued:
Boss: “I’m off to earn honey points.”
Someone: “Oh those things. How do you redeem them and when do they expire?”
Boss: “Check your plan for rules and regulations. What’s in your wallet?”. (snicker snicker)
Boss: “If you need me, don’t hesitate to call. I’ll be playing barbies and building lego houses.”
Someone: “Barbies?”
Boss: “Yeah. I have 79 naked women in my house. It’s kinda disgusting.”
ciao
