This isn't the kind of place where that kind of expression is appreciated. It's the kind of place where people come to have their souls crushed for 40 years or so. It does pay well though.

quote:Originally posted by Skalski: That accounts for some things, I guess. How long have you been there?
I've only been here 16 months. I'm a consultant, but I suspect they'll make me an offer eventually to come on full time. It's a large (10,000+ employees) multi-national, straight-laced, old-white-man, ultra-conservative corporation. I've never worked in an environment like this before. I come from a dotcom background.

Why would I ask a newbie questions? What do I have to gain from that? I don't really care about the n00b, but I'd gladly discuss all things ralph until the cows come home.
ETA: I'm still a newbie, NWOD. What the hell are you doing talking to me?
quote:Originally posted by Skalski: Why should ralph be the one interviewing me, anyway?
Well, it was kind of a joke loosely based on ralphs twenty questions into 'how one becomes accepted' which are usually answered by making up all kinds of imagined rules and then here you are, fresh as a daisy, just kind of easily prompting a response from ralph. I was making out he was a soft touch because you were 'pushing him around' It's not so much fun when I have to explain

quote:Originally posted by Skalski: Why should ralph be the one interviewing me, anyway? Do you use him to break all new faces in?
I'm not sure where he was going with this. I'm not used to break newbies in to my knowledge. Generally people post stuff, and I post stuff. And so on.

I imagine I'll pick up on the in-jokes later rather than sooner - I'd prefer to get to know posters by new contributions rather than wading through the old. Spending days poring through archives and then acting like I know you seems both obtrusive and inappropriate, so I may be a little slow on the uptake.

Like ralph? You mean married with two kids (and a third on the way!), fairly well-off financially, but lacking the ability to write meaningful posts?
