Meet the new guy, just as batsh*% crazy as the old
Lincoln Adams | March 5, 2008 @ 7:31 pmSo my new supervisor has been here a few days, and so far I’m thinking he won’t be too much of a problem. He knows enough to stay out of our way, and he’s already carved out an cubicle igloo for himself, leaving me to keep what is now formerly the supervisor’s desk, so I’m happy. 
But there are little ripples here and there that might indicate the new guy could be, well… insane.
You know how when you meet some people things just click, and the conversation easily flows and ebbs? This wouldn’t be one of those times.
Not that he doesn’t mean well, it’s just that our conversations are so awkward they end up becoming something akin to watching a train wreck in slow motion. Weird. When he’s more mellow it’s a bit easier to engage in dialogue, yet the way his face involuntarily twitches makes me think I won’t be trading cooking recipes with him anytime soon.
His 3-4 hours of absence a day where the man is positively nowhere to be found makes me wonder about things though. Like maybe he’s running a drug operation, or hitting the local brothel for a few hours of hoochie coochies, or maybe at the OTB putting a few Gs down on Who’s-Your-Daddy to win it down the stretch.
His work ethic would also seem a bit… lacking. Just yesterday, as he walked out of his cubicle igloo he dropped his coffee. He picked up his cup and threw it not in our trash bin mind you, but in our shredding bin (what we use to dump “sensitive” documents that need to be shredded). After studying the pool of coffee that was now on the floor for a few seconds, he then pulled the shredding bin over it to hide the spill.
Self employment is starting to look better and better to me every day.

Look on the bright side: at least he’s not a woman.
Heh.
Maybe you should offer to move him into the cube where all the mouse dropping reside…
With that kind of work ethnic, something tells me he won’t last long anyway. Maybe you should document all this weird stuff, just in case.
@MrsMecomber: HA! This be true, especially since I barely escaped the tentacles of Devil Woman only a few months before.
@John: There’s now a printer there. I guess they figured as long as we didn’t lick the stuff we print we’ll be fine.
@ConsrvYank: He’s been there TOO long is what it is. The funny thing is that when I first started working here he was one of my first supervisors, and back then he was pretty ok. The years must have changed him since then.
just don’t piss him off! He may go postal LOL
Maybe someone slipped viagra in his OJ and he is in the bathroom.
I miss you, you cantankerous lovable beast!
I was just thinking about you and wanted to stop by and give you a shout. I’ve been pretty sucky at keeping up with anything via internet rather than giving my blog crappy updates and checking MySpace in case someone should decide to tell me they are dying and I am heir to their fortune.
It hasn’t happened yet.
Your new boss sounds like a cartoon character…something like Droopy Dog. lol – The whole shred basket thing just cracked me up. Please feel free to kick me occasionally and remind me that you do have this blog and I don’t check it enough to see what you’ve been up to, Mister. I got so busy with all these Okinawa plans and now I don’t know if we’re even going or what. Long, long story. I will know more by next week and I’ll try to tell you about it sometime. *big hugs*
@Franklin: Don’t even laugh, he and others are all licensed to to carry.
Mommy hold me please…
@Kelly: YOU!!!!!!!!! About BLOODY time you showed up again you big meanie!!!!
What am I chop liver?
DDoll, is that you?
@Rose: Don’t think so, you don’t look like really bad tasting food to me.
@ConsrvYank: Yep, that’s her.
That’s good to know. I think.
Oh no! Licensed to carry? Yikes! Be very very nice to him, unless you are wearing a kevlar vest. Maybe even then!
As long as he doesn’t know where I live, I think I’ll be alright.
Besides, I’m not on the top of his doo doo list, so I’ll probably know something’s up when people start mysteriously disappearing. 
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That guy is loony!!!
He soitenly was, thank goodness he finally transferred out of our division. The worst manager I’ve ever had.
Well, wasn’t the devil woman worse? I read your whole series…sure seemed like it lol.
Oh she was a holy terror, but fortunately she never did become our supervisor, so I never had to deal with her directly.
Care to comment?
