A strange day, and a COD question.

I had a Purchase Agent come to talk to me today, he is someone I have dealt with a lot over the past year and a half….this is the first time I ever met the guy. Now I admit, my cubicle (aka, my padded prison) is in no way professional…I have several massive piles of paper stacked on the floor because our file room is full and since I have extra room, everyone piles their stuff here. I have a collection of Video game magazines on the wall, and a few other bits game memorabilia around…well, he walks in and asks if I am really me(he even walks out to check the name on my cubicle again….me with my Penn State Visor and Skull Candy head sets (playing Avenged Sevenfold). I say yes, officially introduce myself to this guy, ask him how everything is going (since people don’t visit me unless something very bad is happening and they need me to fix it). 

So, he says he just stopped by to chat….um…ok…so we chat. Talk about Penn State, he notices my magazines and makes small talk about how his 8 yr old plays video games, and thought it was funny that I haven’t “moved on” with my life…but all is still good. Then he asks how many kids I have….now I answer honestly, and I say “we don’t have any kids”. The response I’m use to getting is “oh, well, it’s not for everyone”, “it’s good that you are waiting till you are ready”, some crap about being patient, “it sometimes take a while”…but this guy, whom I had a very good professional relationship with, looks me straight in the eyes and says “well, it’s apparent you don’t take yourself, your wife, or your life seriously, so if you have any more business with me, you will be conducting it through my assistant, she has no ambition either” (I will have a lot of fun letting his assistant know he said that about her...because she is a very very sweet girl who happens to be 20yr old with a 5 year old son)   

Now if that wasn’t enough, one of my co-workers(the only other person in my section who is working today) walks over to me and starts giving me crap about how any person my age who can in no way be identified as a “responsible adult” should be locked up as a drain on social growth. (and here I though intollerance was the biggest drain on social growth)

I went through 5 years of college, 3 years working in what is commonly known as the worst place to work in my organization. My wife and I own our house, have a new car, 2 cats, and are extremely happy together.   Heck, I even do some work mentoring an inner city youth (who will be going into the Marine Corp in 11 months….and I couldn’t be prouder). ….the only thing we don’t have are kids….and we don’t want kids at the moment because we aren’t ready for kids, so how the hell am I irresponsible?!?!?

Seriously, I am starting to think I have a sign over my head that says “caution; Crazy person”, or “free tank of gas with any unique insult”. Now I know a lot of people in my office are starting to lose it because we are going to go through a MASSIVE reorganization in the near future….and I think I’m the only person who’s excited about it because I thrive in chaos and change and I love a challenge. So, I’ll just chalk all this up to them having a group mental breakdown…because if that’s the case, this re-org could turn very profitable very quickly for an opportunistic immature adult who’s willing to sell out their coworkers for more money....

 

On to another topic...has anyone heard anything about the new DLC for COD WaW? I heard a while ago that it was to release on 1/6 with tons of surprises....but I havn't heard anything since.
