“…inflamed disc, it could make it worse if he has surgery, so he’s hoping the injections take…”
I’m coming to the realization that I have little patience for small talk.
“…feeling better, but have a lot to catch up on. And this project, with the multiple ICs involved, will be on my plate for at least the next three months…”
For a project manager, he’s a nice guy. I have to nudge him to stay on the right course sometimes, but he gets the job done.
But he sure likes to talk.
“…catalog, requested a rush-job. The car has a hundred and seventy thousand miles on it but its a Mazda from the eighties, was made to be turbo-charged…”
Why won’t he shut up? I tried turning away to check some e-mails, but he just kept talking to my back. I’ve got eight hours of work left to do and three hours to get it done in.
“…break him in easy, give him a project with the on-campus team that is just starting off so he can get in at ground level…”
I like people. Really. And I don’t condone murder on general principle. But if I shot him, would it really be such a crime?
I’m going to be one cranky old man when the time comes.
Oh I needed that laugh! Thank you for that!!!
I was in the same boat today about wanting to shoot someone. So I can relate really well.

It must be the approaching holidays. I nearly strangled a co-worker yesterday. She deserved it.
LOL, I loath small talk a good part of the time as well ;) And contrary to popular belief I really don’t want to hear that funny story about your three year old nefew and the squirrel.
I haven’t been to your blog in a long time so I am glad that I decided to stop in today :D
A friend of mine once suggested that an extension of “citizen’s arrest” should be created: “citizen’s execution.” I think you would get along well with this fellow. :)
But of course you are going to be a cranky old man!! That is a given.. surely you knew that already? thanks for the holiday laugh~
