Hyper Gumbo

Every friday at work, we have some sort of fun, random, activity.  Usually they are really cool things, like the playdough food contest, or the scotch identification contest.  This week, it was some annoying test-conference parlor game of reverse engineering the ‘algorithm’ the presenter had come up with.  I’m not clear if the people I work with with just being polite, or if they really found some sort of value out of the experience.  I personally, found it a very annoying waste of time on an already over packed day.  I know how to reverse engineer, I don’t take jobs that would require that level of tedium for a reason.

And it didn’t help that, despite making it quite clear to my team, that I really didn’t give a shit about this stupid activity, one of the guys just keeps needling me to solve it for him.  Dude, there are 2 other guys on the team, ask them a fucking question, leave me the fuck alone.  Stop poking the bear that just bit you with a stick.

Wow.  Synchronicity.  Guy who poked me with a stick just came by to apologize.  He’s a bigger man than I.
