Me, a former English professor at my new tech job, talking to a super technical person tasked with teaching me a thing.

Me: Oh, so you’re saying it basically does [extremely simplified metaphor].

Tech person:

A day later in a customer meeting:

Customer: I guess I'm just not really understanding how this works in practice.

Me: if it helps, you can think of it as [extremely simplified metaphor], except in this case [more specific details].

Customer: Oooh that makes so much more sense, thank you. Yeah, that does sound valuable, what about-- My boss, afterward: That was such a great metaphor. Love how you're engaging the customers. Great work. Me: Oh, thanks! [Tech Person] helped me come up with the metaphor. They've been a really helpful resource through my onboarding!

My boss: showers praise upon Tech person and gives them Applause points (our internal reward setup).

Tech person, ever since:

He's normally fine he's just also got, to quote my boss, "More money than common sense" and sometimes it really, really shows.

Update to the door decorating thing for work- me and my coworker decided to do Pokemon since it would be easier and was pretty fun for the both of us. We had some of our students color the coloring pages and these were the results 💖

I think my boss is trying to grow a tree

My boss actually put „beard baubles“ in his beard. Christmas baubles. In his beard.

I asked why they are not lighting up and he gasped and yelled „DAMN that would be cool“

I have the best work place

I might lose my freaking mind. This week I've given a presentation twice which included a specific topic and many reiterations of, "You HAVE to check the limit on the authorization and do not go above it without approval from the customer." I know a certain technician attended, because I saw him in the meeting.

Then today, he's sent me a report to review and close, where he exceeded the limit by $3,600.00. And the dates he did the work were AFTER the presentation. You freaking dipshit.

Baby's first penguin!! Poor little thing was called in because he was lethargic and limping, but we managed to get a rescuer out so hopefully he's given the all-clear soon 🥺

My work also offers ice cream, this teen boy comes up and looks at me and goes “how many scoops are in a small?” And I go “one” then pause and look at him contemplate and I say “if you ask nicely I’ll make it an extra big scoop” and immidiately cringe like… why did I say that

And he looks me in the eyes, and says “pwease uwu” and I got so caught off guard I wheezed audibly so hard that someone asked me if I was okay…

Needless to say, he got that extra big scoop.

What I did vs what the kids voted for first place (My drawing sucked because I did not have the blue bus appropriately named ‘Yellow’ [he swam in the ocean and turned blue])

#rambles #of course I lost to yellow look at him #work shenanigans #I’m a coward I would never have made yellow the blue bus #😔and that is why I’m not going places!!!!

Oh my god my workplace is falling apart-

We’ve just hired a new person. Our ‘manager’ is on maternity leave, and the gal who’s taking over some of the manager roles/is the current ‘lead’ told me (before we hired someone new) she’s planning to put in her two weeks soon. Who is going to train the new person?? The manager has already said like ‘everyone will be helping with training!’ Because apparently the new person and the lead have basically completely different schedules. Like half our staff has worked here less than 6 months, and yet we’re now training people? It’s great

When someone is typing to you on Microsoft Teams…you watch the dots as the person continues typing. I’m thinking the person’s response is going to be quite substantial.

Finally it comes through.

Looks good.

Gahhhh!
