starting early
a colleague of mine (same course in college, one batch lower can be considered, i guess, as such), had her first day at work last monday. this person had a stellar academic career in school, but a slightly dented social status with her classmates (which us upperclassmen eventually were used as soundingboards for), having been a bit self-seeking and just generally hard to get along with.
she displayed her lack of tact real early on her first day, when during our monthly company flag ceremony, upon being asked if she was single, she said to the crowd, 'well, single, but not available.' being among my co-trade sales department huddle, i saw about 30 thought bubbles (mine included) simultaneously popping up with the same message of, 'we weren't asking!'
but really, here's hoping she displays her intellectual brilliance and uses it for the company's growth. it's everyone's asses, anyway, if she screws up, too.
