Some things out at GE

Some things out at GE are starting to get to me.

  • The faucets in the bathrooms are hooked-up all strange so the handles don't turn like normal faucets. I can't really explain the details, but some knobs seem to turn the wrong way. You don't realize that you count on all faucets working the same way until it takes you 6 minutes to shut one off.
  • The cafeteria closes at 2:30. That means no coffee and no snacks. It's probably not a big deal for the typical GE employee - who gets there at 6:30 AM and leaves at 4:00 - but for the rest of us normal folk, it's a drag.
  • I have to park approximately 3.1 miles from the entrance of the building. In the morning there's a shuttle van that picks you up and hauls you to the front door, but I think the driver goes home when the cafeteria closes, so I have to walk out into the cold, dark night alone. Sometimes I whimper, but nobody hears.

I'll leave the rest for Colin to bitch about. He's usually good for a few laughs.

On an amusing team note, the Huna dyed his hair a reddish color the other day. (For those interested, I think the exact color is Miss Lady Clarol Irish Setter No. 49.) After doing so, there are only 2 (of 6) members of the team without red or reddish hair.

On an 'electric moment' note, while putting our heads together so Erin could judge the similarities of our haircolor, the Huna and I accidentally touched ears. I've never felt so alive.
