How am I supposed to hate this shiny happy kid?

He arrives every morning with a smile and works his ass off.


Note, he's not even leaving! Just rotating to another department.
And he's left a fridge full of booze.

Happy Friday!


Personally, I feel like the last few months have been extremely hectic but at the same time extremely rewarding from an intellectual standpoint. When I am moving at 1,000mph up in the clouds, I always have to remind myself, every now and then, to slow down and reflect.


In my latest reflection, I realized that I have come a long way starting from 0, two years ago, and I owe that progress to many of you. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for lending your time and being a source of knowledge and guidance for me. I hope to continue to have you all as mentors in my life (Scott _____ we have much work to do on the ________). I have not worked with all of you directly (somehow I evaded ______ & ____!) but I've had the good fortune of getting to know all of you to some capacity. Thank you for that.


When Juan _____ left, we had empanadas. When S_____ left, we had ______. When L___ left we...In any case, although I am NOT leaving, in celebration of my rotation end I thought I would get you guys what you really want.


As a very small token of my appreciation, in the fridge you will find some cold beverages. Most notably, there is a handle of Limoncello (reminiscent of our Holiday party) and Spiced Rum (I heard you enjoyed that Tom).


Thanks again and enjoy the weekend,


Andrew

I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.

I find it very easy to hate this person

I am finding a glimmer of resentment in that I will probably be reporting to him in about 5 years.

who the fuck thinks like that?

About half my company.

They work hard and they are happy about it. They volunteer. They go to the gym.
They are extremely reliable. If you ask them to do something, it gets done. Just the way you asked.
They actually care about clients and the image of the company.


I am living in the Matrix.

That's fucked up, man. Fucked up.

Obviously this is an open thread for anyone to complain (or rave) about the people they work with.

So when does this booze up occur? And isn't having a drink called Blank and Tan really insensitive? People died, man. Let's just all imbibe some Nazi Death Squad while we're at it. DISGRACEFUL.
