| random work shit from yesterday

1. In the morning I had a meeting with my team in one of the small conference rooms. We turned on the projector and immediately the people sitting near its exhaust fan (including me) were bathed in the smell of weed. This wasn't something that smelled kind of like weed: it was weed. Why the projector exhaust was emitting eau de weed I have no idea, but I reported it to facilities, mentioning in the report that the last people to use the room had been in Marketing.

2. A new electrical engineer started a few days ago. He looks like Alan Alda when he started going gray but with more sunken features. The EE is not on our team, but he comes over fairly often to drop off or pick up hardware that he needs to fix or adjust. Anyway, a girl who works for me was sitting at her desk working when all of a sudden she was shocked to feel hands kneading her shoulders. She thinks, "There are, like, three people that this would be OK, and none of them work here." So she turns around and who should it be but this Alan Alda-looking motherfucker who she barely knows! She got through the conversation quickly with a general creepy-crawly feeling.

It's going to be fun to see what HR does to this guy, he richly deserves whatever punishment he gets.
