There's a guy in our office who must have some sort of GI problem because I hear him audibly fart just about any time I'm around him for more than 30 minutes at a time. It never stinks though. It's like he's sucking plain air into his ass and blasting it out for kicks.

Re: The Workplace
I started with my company 3.5 years ago and they've been talking about moving into a new building the entire time and today it's finally happening. Should be pretty interesting.
I went in yesterday for a few hours to set up my desk and catch up on some stuff (we had to be out by noon on Friday for the movers, which made for an epic happy hour). The new place is a lot nicer than where we were IMO, but I guarantee I'm going to have to listen to people bitching for various reasons for the new few months or so since some people really can't handle change.

Re: The Workplace
Starting mid June I will temporarily be working from an apartment in Norther Virginia for 3 months and if all goes well I will be working out of an apartment in Doha Qatar for 2 to 3 years. I will finally be free from The Office!

Re: The Workplace
Wow, that's huge. You might get to see Qatar for a few years as they prepare for the 2022 World Cup.
Is this move tied to your career or that of your fiancee/wife...or both your careers?

Re: The Workplace
It's tied to my wife's. She is in the final stages of landing a job with Al-Jazeera English. I'm excited about working from anywhere in the world and make my own work schedule.

Re: The Workplace
That's fantastic. Al Jazeera English is very underrated in my opinion. I'd love to spend a few years working abroad

Re: The Workplace
My new/old workplace pet peeve are the stupid fake emails going around that such and such household product will kill you or that America is now mainly Spanish speaking. Just stupid stuff. I love to reply with a Snopes link that dispels it. I always put the link and a FYI.
Funny thing is they get mad when I do that. OK sorry continue to live in your make beleive world email world.

They would not even understand that. I work with almost all soccer moms.

Re: The Workplace
Today is my last day working at the office in Seattle...It's going to be interesting working from home for a few months in D.C. area. Not looking forward to 90+ degree heat at all.

Re: The Workplace
Be safe travelling back home. Maybe we can catch a day at training camp....if the owners/players can get it together.
