Hallway Etiquette

[desertrat]

Yep there are all types for sure. The 2 I thought were interesting were these two programmers. Two different bldgs. I saw them both just stop in the middle of the hall and stare at nothing for a while. Then continue on. I doubt they would have heard you if you yelled "fire!".

Hallway etiquette, do not pee in the hallway, other than that say Hi.

...just stop in the middle of the hall and stare at nothing for a while.

That's what YOU think!!!

I'm sure equations and numbers are running through their minds. Or maybe the babe they just passed in the hall.

That was days ago. Just finally sunk in.

 

[GURPS]

IT guys are worse.

Yup. And self-reflection.

why do you thing we are in IT [don't want to deal with users]

 

[GURPS]

I do what I have to do for the social niceties and then re-group from the horror of it all later.

in the last 5 yrs I have attended the company Christmas Party ONCE .....

 

[GURPS]

.... although professional realities require me to deal with people, sometimes large groups of them and sometimes standing up in front of everyone engaging them.

give me a seat in a bar and a few beers I'll talk for a good long while ....
but me on a stage to give a block of instructions

Even still, I sometimes find myself avoiding attention unless it's required and I always need to recoup after parties or dealing with large groups of people. I think a lot of engineers and IT people are not required to learn how to cope with such things, and therefore, don't.

that is why they into Engineering or IT - to avoid People [give me a nice quiet Data Center and the hum of cooling fans ]

 

[GURPS]

Saying phuckin HIIIIIIIIII is nothing more than an extrovert's lame-ass excuse for pushing their overbearing, obnoxious, always-have-to-be-running-their-mouth, aggressive, NOTICE-ME behavior onto the normal people.

 

[GURPS]

This was one of the better sociology treads.

In the greenhouse, we have up to 400 feet, in the main walk, to see one another coming.

Same sort of thing happened on the hiking trails at Calvert Cliffs yesterday. Some people very friendly, some, not so much.

Around here on the AT it's easy to look right at people and smile and say hi. Vast majority are openly friendly.

Actually, I was THAT person who avoided someone several times yesterday. The other person is someone whom I had been acquainted with in years past, and that person is SUPER annoying and if given the chance, will glom onto you and talk until your ears bleed.

Sorry, but I feel the need to mate a bit more than once every 7-10 years. Maybe I'm an extrovert after all.

You bring up a good point.

For once my mind was not in the gutter, and I didn't even consider that.








I retract my earlier statement on the grounds of more frequent (preferably daily or semi daily) scrumpage.

 

[Toxick]

WTF is a scrump hole???

It's like a watering hole, but instead of going there to get a drink, you go there to ####.

Just hadn't heard it called 'scrumping' before. I live a sheltered life.
