The other week a fellow rock thrower and I were taking our daily soda break (just an excuse to go to the break room and tell Tales From the Shitshow) when one of the most respected senior engineers at the Shitshow walked in.
When he walked in, my friend and I were still laughing at a King Kong story we were just retelling. Interested in why we were laughing the senior engineer asked what was so funny. With a little hesitation, and figuring we had nothing to loose, we tested the water and started telling him a toned down King Kong story.
Without missing a beat the senior engineer said “that’s nothing” and then went on his own five minute rant and rave about his own Tales From the Shitshow and things he’s done to throw rocks. By the end we were all laughing.
Nearly every day since, guess who just happens to wonder into the break room while we’re on our soda break? That’s right, one of the most respected senior engineers at the Shitshow.
Because I’m finding fellow rock throwers in the least likely places, I’ll continue to throw rocks.
