Observation Du Jour


Binkmeister

Contrary to what I've been told, employees aren't gardens. If you heap manure on them, you're not gonna get flowers back. It's a pity my boss hasn't realized this.

Anything in particular that brought about this observation, Bink?

Just the cumulative effects of being ignored, shoved into a corner, disregarded, and totally overlooked. I used to run the web department, now I'm relegated to working on projects I used to assign entry-level interns to do.

 

I really, really need me a new job. It's getting to me.

 

Update: See page 32 of this BrickJournal story I wrote a while ago. That may explain some of my current funk - month 8 and counting...

Whoa. Talk about suspense. The way you remebered all those facts (first paragraph) and described it down so well, then kept the reader in suspense the whole article, inserting those paragraphs into the larger picture..

 

Certainly Lego, but ever consider tying in the word 'journalism' in there?

Yeah, I read that article and was hoping you'd have your sights on something better soon. Which I still do. It's no fun when your work turns into the Dilbert live action movie, though without the humour.

Sharky, I'm sure back flowers are just as unwanted as back hair. :P

 

I dunno, I'd rather have back flowers than back hair any day.

 

Anyways, reminds me of my dad... He REALLY needs a new job. He's a ship builder, so every day he goes home with at least one new injury due to accidents and low-attention-spanned co-workers.

 

Maybe you should work at LEGO! That'd be great...

How could you Omicron?? Getting past the word filter to say 'Mega-Blok'!

Oh my bad. "Mega-Block" or "Mega Block".

 

It isn't filtered. :P

You sure about that?

 

Cuase Think about it. You can give your girlfriend or wife flowers anytime. And You will always smell good too. ^^

You should totally be a translator guy for the UN or something... I mean, you speak such fluent French, using "Observation" in the title and all; very poetic. =D
