Any weirdo’s in your cube farm?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What is the definition of a weirdo at work?
When you Google “Weird People @ Work,” you’ll get the picture real quick … maybe they are just like some folks you know at work or maybe they’ll seem like they must be relatives!
I worked with a guy at a computer software company who was in charge of writing the operating system for the company; a whiz by any other name except weird!
He just about never slept at night, and would often stay at the office around the clock. Of course, he did sleep “on the job” though!
When we would have an operating system program bug, we could wake him and tell him the problem. He’d either tell us what to do or where to look … and then immediately go back to sleep! We never were really sure if he was awake when he was telling us what to do.
Have you worked with anyone that you would classify as anything but weird? Does it make for an interesting day?
