does D2 even react to the no desk thing???

Beyond possibly freaking the eff out so much that he desperately sent himself a PROFESSIONAL MIRACLE WORKER t-shirt, he did noticeably react when GG let him know that she was hiring a second new person. He was like, "Oh, really?" in kind of a high pitched voice. And he was even more fidgety that usual with his hands and feet. After a pause, he said, "All right! That's great news! I am so ready to get rockin' on this new software!" That's his M.O. Verbalize how much he is on board.

OH, by the way, he doesn't have any sort of access to this new software at this point. He'd previously been told that it would be convenient for him to start on it alongside NG1. Well, NG1 has started and he still has not.

Think Friday is the day, or will they wait for NG2?

dude#2 talks A LOT. And it's not like interesting conversation or even conversation at all. He just always wants you to reassure him that he did the right thing or be totally exasperated with bullshit along with him or whatever. rough ridin' annoying. He just moved into the same room as me and German girl this week. A few days ago, she asks me how I'm coping with the extra noise. I said fine. She replied that I wouldn't have to deal with it much longer and winked.

like, this could still mean it's you

This morning: Just me and GG in. She mentions that she needs to figure out what to do about the seating arrangement, glances at the calendar, then says, "Oh. I guess I have over two weeks to figure that out. No need to worry about it now."

This is perfect.

at this rate GG is going to rip his beating heart from his chest and have ng1 and ng2 clean it up.

Seems like maybe she’s trying to get you to acknowledge her constant comments re. the situation.

chum1 is playing this beautifully (assuming he's not the one whose firing is imminent).

KEEP HER THIRSTY CHUM AKA KEEP PUTTING CHUM IN THE WATER LMAO

I bet D2 thinks it's chum that's about to be let go and is loling with his bbs buds somewhere else about how chum is oblivious and never even acknowledges the hints that GG keeps dropping right in front of him.

Katpappy · « **Reply #91 on:** March 08, 2019, 09:13:55 AM »

D2 sent a company-wide email today.

Hello all,

I think most of you know that I have continued to dig deeper on this subject and continue to learn and grow every-day. I have often struggled with the 2 words and then I read an article from Jim Hunter and it really helped me understand, more deeply, what this lifestyle is really about:

Jim breaks down the meaning into 2 words: servant and leadership and explains leadership first:

Leadership:
Many times people associate leadership with the person who is in charge, or somebody who is a good manager. The reality is that leadership is more synonymous with the word “influence”. Leadership is a skill, that is a learned or acquired ability. It IS NOT something you are born with. It is the ability to be able to inspire and influence people to action, the ability to get the fire going within somebody, where they want to do it now. So, leadership is about inspiring and influencing people to action.

Servant:
The servant part – it is not about being a slave. Being a servant leader is not about doing what people want. It is about doing what people need and there is a huge difference between those two. It is truly about being a servant – what my employees want may not necessarily be what they need. What they need may not necessarily be what they want.

So, what servant leaders are about is the business of identifying and meeting peoples legitimate needs, seeking their greatest good so that they can learn and grow. So the test of servant leadership is: Do people leave you better than they found you? Do you leave things better than you found them? Am I going to grow as a result of being under your leadership? Am I going to have a better career? Am I going to be prepared when I leave my home (mom and dads)? Am I going to be a bit better when I leave then when I got here?

Thought I would share – this helped me a bit more in putting things into perspective.

Oh my god that reads like something a high school Boy Scout would write for a merit badge or something.

All I can say is that I hope s/he who passes the sentence swings the sword. I think G2 deserves as much.

Skipper44 · « **Reply #97 on:** March 12, 2019, 10:43:28 AM »

no doubt there is a whetstone in GG’s desk
