- If you ask a question and don’t like my answer, feel free to ask me to double-check or show you where the information came from. Don’t ask my boss, who then asks me, and will turn around and give you the exact same answer. Then, when you don’t like his answer either, wait two weeks and ask again. We remember you from the last time you asked!
- Yes, I’m a girl. But that doesn’t mean I’m NewGirl. One of the Bobs has been working with NewGirl periodically for the past couple months, but can’t seem to tell her apart from me. We’re different races, heights, and have different hair color (hers is curly and mine is straight). Also, I’ve only met him twice. The first time, he insisted that we met already and my name is NewGirl. When I corrected him, he failed to tell me his name. Today, he stopped by
to ask if I received his email. But, unfortunately, no, I did not receive the email you sent to NewGirl
.
- Do not paste the text from 500-page documents into the body of an email and then send it. That’s just dumb.
- The last issue, I don’t even know how to deal with. I have a sensitive nose and sometimes smells that other people don’t notice or don’t smell on themselves bother me. There are the smokers, who I think know, OffensiveGuy who smells like onions, some others who smell happily of soaps (I passed someone from 2-3 ft away yesterday and I could smell that he used Dial.)… and then someone in my office today reeked of OldManSmell and my nose started to burn. Last time, this guy smelled like he ate a box of Altoids, which I must admit I now prefer.
How do you politely say, “I’m sorry, but I need you to leave my office now. My face is burning from your stench.”
And in gossip news, my cousin is interning at *GOOGLE* this summer!! So awesome!
QOTD: “If you happen to find an extra 100mt of fuel around here, I think people would be happy.”
“Yeah, let me go check my other pants.”
