Popular Post groupw Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 18, 2019 A former coworker passed away yesterday. He was also into cycling, but a heart condition forced him to stop and eventually led to his passing. Bob was a character! He was, as far as I know, the creator of the N.A.P. Meeting! In IT work, companies often have us document every minute of our day to justify our existence within the company. Bob would have that “meeting” on his calendar every day. Our manager asked if that was a project at our office. He replied kind of...but it was strictly BYOP. Manager asked what that meant. Bring Your Own Pillow... YOU GET THAT OFF THE CALENDAR NOW! BIGGER PEOPLE THAN ME LOOK AT THOSE! One of the HR guys was very meticulous about every aspect of his desk. He had a container of pencils all presharpened to the same length. Bob sharpened them to little nubs and filled the container with foam! He would put nonsensical questions in the login script that people had to answer before they could log into their PC. The answer didn’t matter. He just liked to make people smile. He was a kind soul and very dedicated to his family. His wife retired a year ago from teaching and they were probably a year or 2 from his retirement. Didn’t get to see him often, but we would still text now and then even though I’ve been gone from there for 17 years. Going to miss the guy. 5 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted November 18, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 18, 2019 I like the logon script idea. RG would be good at making up the questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
