One of my managers at work told me that there's been an open discussion amongst co-workers (for the past couple of months) on whether or not I was Autistic.
Three or four years ago, I had a co-worker that had no sense of boundaries. One day he found out he had Asperger's, though he was in his 40s. He straight up asked me one day if I had Asperger's, and then had a bunch of questions for me about it. I rarely advertise that fact, so I'm wondering how exactly he figured it out - or if it was a lucky guess.
That's very strange , Lowerdeck.
I'm not even sure how at my work why they thought I was Autistic.
How disturbing. Workplace grievances like that make me nervous. Hopefully they're just blowing off steam in a completely inappropriate way.
I freaking jinxed myself. I forgot that one of the bonuses of working on a wide open college campus involves dealing with disgruntled students/ex-employees directly. A student who used to work here stormed into and then out of one of our labs upstairs and was yelling at people and slamming doors because they didn't want him to come back to work this semester. I didn't hear it, but we saw the kid come and leave, and the folks who witnessed it were pretty shaken when they came downstairs.
Trying to convince them to file a report with campus police.
They didn't file a report and the student came back this morning trying to get upstairs again. My co-worker/friend said way too much to the student about why he isn't allowed upstairs. I'm hopeful he stays away... especially because her and I are the only ones on the first floor.
This award ceremony will be the death of me. Life is crazy, I am running around, behind on my work and can't focus. I can not wait until Tuesday, August 9th for this to be over.
On a related note, what's the status of the box of sex toys?
HAHAHAHA...Shawn the editor assistant JUST asked about that yesterday. It is hidden in the storage room. I am waiting until everyone kind of forgets about it so I can sneak the box home and do what I want with it. That sounds so dirty.
I smell a new QSAROO fundraiser. A donation to QSAROO gets you a bullet.
Update on the box of toys...I have an after work function tomorrow with the local concierges. I have to get to work early, load my car up with the gift bags that were not picked up at the award ceremony and the box. I get to pull out shit that I want first, and then let the others pick through if they want anything out of it. Other than that, work is sucky and super busy and we have three publications that the sales people just can't get their client's shit together and get these publications closed. But tomorrow's function is at Besh Steakhouse, as in John Besh... Yay to that only.
Well, I've officially lost track of everyone that has either been fired, or has quit at my place of work. And hours are still being cut.
I was contacted by a recruiter for a fancy investment firm for a job that could really give me a foot in the door. Also, I'm not sure how much more I can deal with this noise at my current place of employment.
I gone nearly three months without having an interview, and at least seven weeks since the last time I got a call back from someone that was even potentially interested after reading my resume.
I had two calls today. The second one was interested in bringing me in for an interview, but was worried since the position pays shit. ($13/hr). The other, I meet with someone on Tuesday.

We're hiring someone at the office to replace my work partner. Given I'm going toward management in the long run, I've been trying to help out as possible with the hiring process. I told my bosses about how social media is something companies actually check out nowadays. I revised our onboard checklist at my supervisor's request. I spoke with a manager in another section about their hiring experience since we've drastically overhauled the system since our last hire and shared it with the boss. I made them aware that other sections have let non supervisors in on interviews in the hopes that I'd get an invite at least since one supervisor is not a natural people person and the other is less than motivated for the whole thing. Looking like that's not happening as they pared the candidates down to the ten interviews and are not sharing the list with anyone aside from someone we know through work dealings with another company. I'm fine with that even if I am a tad disappointed. My larger issue is that I did pry out of one supervisor how they narrowed it down and I'm not totally feeling it, so I have reduced confidence in who they may hire. Hopefully it'll all turn out alright as I don't need more people that irk me at work.
Was scheduled short tonight to begin with. Then a guy no call no showed (this is the second time he had done this). I have zero faith in most people between the ages 18-20.
Husband wants us to own a restaurant someday, and this is the reason it kind of terrifies me.
I can't even imagine the night you're having! Godspeed.

The guy TEXTED our supervisor at the end of the night, after she had called him repeatedly to find out where the hell he was, to tell her he was in class.
Like we get that school comes first and sometimes you end up having to sign up for a night class last minute. But call and let your employer know. If he did that, he would not be as fucked as he is right now.
These kids have the WORST attitudes and are always on their phones. One guy said "I don't need a female to tell me how to do my job!" the other day. Our two night supervisors are women as well as most of the people who were working that night. I can't even with that place. My co-workers wonder why I just sit/stand off by myself most of the time. It's because they're all little monsters. All of them.
No, coworker. That's cool. Just take my pool car. I didn't need it or anything.
What's a pool car?
We have cars that people reserve as needed to go do work out in the field. You send an appointment to a calendar in Outlook. An admin puts your name on the list of vehicles for the day. I went to pick mine up this morning, and the key was nowhere to be found. Another coworker had that car yesterday and is 100% sure the key was returned, so someone took it this morning without making anyone else aware.

They are in trouble. So what did you do? Hop on the pink bike with the Hello Kitty basket and tassels and take off?
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Part of my trivia hosting job requires me to play music between each question and if the players know the artist, they get an extra point. All the older people get mad that I don't play exclusively shitty 80s music. Like I played some Kendrick last night and for the artist a dude wrote down "play real music!" He later put "suck o Rama" for Daft Punk. I really hate everything that came out of the 80s, especially the sense of superiority that that generation has.

I've put down "country sucks" as an answer to appropriate questions. The gf doesn't like it and thinks it's immature. She might be right, but I'm just goofing off.

So yesterday I met with a lady. Turns out she was a recruiter from Boston, though working for a Providence firm. At a bar. When I arrived, so did her lunch.
I wasted five vacation hours from my current job, for seven minutes of chasing a job probably way over my head. The lady seemed bothered to be there, and aside from giving me a few pointers she seemingly didn't care.

You have to realize that saying you hate everything that came out of an entire decade is just ridiculous, right?
It's obviously a hyperbole, my dude. I can dig the 60s, 70s, and 90s but 80s music and culture for the most part just annoys me. Especially when people who grew up in that generation asks like it was the golden age. It's trivia, they should just accept that music and culture developed after they graduated high school and didn't stop in its tracks for them.
Again, some great things came out in the 80s, but a lot of it just fucking sucked.

I'm not a dude.
If you look at every one of those decades, a lot more things that fucking sucked were produced than things that were great. That's just the way things go.

I call everyone "my dude", my dude. My generation made it a gender neutral term I guess.
You're probably right. It's just the snobbiness of that generation that just makes the shitty stuff shittier to me. I never have a problem with those who grew up in the 70s or 90s. They just acknowledge that not every question or song is gonna be directed to them. And trivia isn't even just an adult thing here. We have a few teams made of teenagers, some young 20s, etc.
