Yesterday at the airport, my intern and I were standing in line to stand in line to get to security when our boss's boss shows up. That was awkward. Worse was when his boss showed up (the boss's boss's boss) and feels he needs to come up and talk to us. "Hey, if I had known you guys were out here I would have invited you to the [other division]'s Christmas party!" Very nice, but I was grateful to get out of our own Christmas party... I had a meeting, see. Heeheehee.
I knew about half dozen or so fellas from Zuni; most of long term temporary workers were from there, with a few Hopis and Navahos to leaven the mix.
It was a pretty nice party. Our division out here in C.R. only has about fifty people and we all work together pretty closely, so it wasn't one of those awkward things where you eat some bad food and get a stiff speech from some vice president. It was good for me getting to know some people. And pretty much everyone there is an engineer or software person. It was funny to get the wives who assumed that I was a spouse and Talon was the employee :-) heehee.
