A Co-worker: Call my crazy, but I don’t like it when project managers refer to the end stage of their projects as “The Final Solution,” especially when those PMs are German.
Elevator Conversations: Dodging Bullets
Standing in the elevator with a co-worker. A young woman walks in, cell phone to her ear, makeup running, sobbing hysterically. She is on the phone with who appears to be her new ex-boyfriend.
Her: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!!?!
Her: …
Her: I HATE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I HATE YOU. CANT YOU SEE THAT, MORON?!
Her: …
Her: I ONLY WENT OVER TO HIS HOUSE ONCE. NOTHING HAPPENED.
Her: …
Her (quietly): He did?
Her: …
Her: I DONT CARE IF YOU KNOW. I STILL LOVE YOU. DONT DO THIS! I HATE YOU! I LOVE YOU!
She leaves. Co-worker turns to me. “Smart man,” he says.
“Uh huh.”
