Corporate environment people watching

"Power suit, mullet, mustache, and cowboy boots guy" - This guy is the Executive Director of Network Security, making 6-figures...but the first number is easily a 2. He never has cigarettes, but is at the smoke pit more often than I am. Go figure. Here is a quote you never want to hear from a guy who is supposed to be doing what he does: "I dont care. If you have to, bypass the firewall completely. I want this up and I want it up now. I dont care if you have to run the cable in the hallway...we'll worry about the security implications after the deployment."

"Paranoid looking square that wears sweaters with incredible folding creases" - Never has a lighter. And when he borrows my lighter, he has to walk around the building to use it, then returns it. I dont get it.

"Carlton" - Clean cut, well spoken black guy. But as soon as his buddies come around, he drops more F-bombs than Wu-Tang. Its an immediate slip into the most confusing version of ebonics Ive ever witnessed.

"House wife that took a few DeVry Vo-Tech night courses" - Always stressed out...ABOUT NOTHING TO DO WITH WORK. She has no idea what she is doing and is a veteran in passing the buck. She doesnt hold herself accountable for shit, yet jumps on an opportunity to claim innovative thinking and problem resolution. These people are the worst. Woman empowerment gone all wrong.

"Over accomplished comp science major stuck in a low-management possition over the helpdesk" - He smokes...didnt used to, but now does. These are the guys you need to watch out for; volitile.

"Menopause grandmother" - I have no idea. But I dont want to see her grandchildren's pictures any more. And no, its not hot in here...you're just old.

"Secutiry officer guy taking night school" - He doesnt give a shit and gives you no reason to thing otherwise.

Theres a bunch of others. I might add more as the day goes on. But the moral of the story = dont trust high level managers with cowboy boots. The rebels.
