in reply to Least favorite non-geek(s) at my job:
I voted security guard. Here's my anecdote:
One morning, I am on my way in to work and just as I reach the door I realize I left my badge (which opens the door) in my car. The car is a four-minute walk away. As I am cursing to myself, our a.m. security guard walks around the corner.
This guard...
- ... has seen me every weekday for roughly two years.
- ... has been working at my building about half as long as I have been working there.
I ask her to let me in. She refuses.
This happened a little under a year ago. I have not spoken a word of greeting or otherwise to her since. My consolation is that if you perform your job like a robot, it won't be long until a robot replaces you.
