As you may know

I've been told this many times, and always did believe it, but I will go ahead and say it now and draw from my own experience; the same people show up in every office. The really nice guys between 25 and 35 who you would like to take home and marry (but they are already happily married), the women who feel like any other women are competition, the women who never stop talking, and the (male) 40+ pompous ass holes who think young women were intended to be their administrative slaves and whipping girls - they show almost no respect for people in my kind of position and just generally reek of ill-imagined superiority. The stories (of the pompous ass in our Seattle office) don't bear retelling since the condescention was in the facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice, but suffice it to say I've been here just a few days and I already have a least favorite person.

I know there are many many other kinds of people in offices, but these are four groups that seem to show up everywhere in my experince and generally make themselves known in a short period of time. As long as I manage not to take it personally, people are pretty darn funny.

And one last thing - why is it that middle aged men (of any sort) think they have fax machine skills when they don't? It's like the guys in this office either act like they don't know how to do anything when really they can do quite a bit, or they imagine that they can do everything when they should really be asking for help. We had a trio of them this morning trying to send a 40-page all graphic (real pictures for that matter) fax to our Kirkland office - a bunch of the pages just had "delete" scirbbled over them. The silliness of this situation is hopefully not lost on this crowd. The fax would have taken literally 6 hours but could have been taken care of in a 6-minute phone call. Ah, the quirky men who populate A&E firms . . .
