Work Flashback 0001*: Blasphemous Acts - Incorrect; Who Cares?
SlAveCS pre-2000: During my first days in the hardware group the manager[Fish],
an Abe Simpson-ish guy, would insist on driving us to lunch when the department went out.
One day on the way back from lunch, he stopped at the Cathode-lic church across from the datacenter and gave use each $20.
Fuck. I’m still new to the corporate world and stepping on toes and being an Atheist, this caused a nauseous reaction.
Hipshooting: “What are we doing?”
“Fish collects beanie babies and the church has a gift shop that just got a new shipment in.”
Like a clandestine dope deal, cash and goods changed hands. It was an uncomfortable,
hollow experience that had me laughing. Not sure how I’d handle such a thing now.
*Not sure if I ever posted this but it’s not like anyone would remember or read LJ at this point.
