It’s time to introduce a new character to the Throwing Rocks community, as with all charters introduced (King Kong, Baby Kong, Queen Perfume, Mr. Sunshine, Duck Face, Bob, and so on) this character is based on 100% truth. Please let me introduce to you, the man, the flunky, T-Rod!
On the surface T-Rod seems pretty laid back and uses catch phrases from the 80’s such as “cool,” “rad,” and “right on man” to show how "chill" he is. However, despite his apparently laid back style, T-Rod can’t handle any stress what so ever. When something unexpected comes up, work piles up, or time is running tight T-Rod looses it. Once things are back to normal he reverts back to his catch phrases.
T-Rod is also mentally challenged. Despite having 20 years of experience he still doesn’t understand basics and doesn’t know where to find answers on his own. Often times his own stupidity is the cause for the stress he can’t handle.
Since he’s been at the Shitshow for 20 years he’s risen to various leadership positions, which require both people management skills as well as technical know how which T-Rod posses neither. Not that has stopped any other manager or leader at the Shitshow.
Lucky for me I’m working with T-Rod right now on a somewhat extended project. Luckily for you this means there are bound to be some great throwing-rock stories to read in the near future.
Because character development writes itself at the Shitshow, I throw rocks.
