Culture shock
Wow, look, a post! Because of an observation that I had to share.
I came from a corporate culture. Time is money and money is everything sort of place. A place where my boss was reprimanded because he had an unopened bottle of wine in his office that he received as a Christmas present.
Now I work for a non-profit, Catholic University. I have accepted that it's perfectly okay (if not encouraged) to drink alcohol at University functions (as long as they're after 4pm). Yesterday, we had a going away party for a co-worker and the department bought a lot of beer. Cases of beer. There's quite a bit left over, which is now sitting in our company fridge. Yep, right next to my little sack lunch is a case of Bud and several bottle of Corona. Yep, nothing goes better with a turkey sandwich than an ice cold one.
Too bad Homer Simpson doesn't work here.
