I noticed through linkedIn that a guy I used to work with was now working at Apple. I looked him up, we sent a few emails back and forth, and then I realized that he was working with more dudes that we used to work with and they got bought by Apple. Siri.
These were the guys that I used to play basketball with in a 3-3 tourney against the Paris twins.
Cool for them.
But remember that guitar open house that Catherine brought us to over the weekend? There was a dude there that used to work at Dejima too. I didn’t remember his name. But I remembered he wasn’t very good at his job, though I don’t really remember the job either – product marketing maybe? Something vaguely product.
Anyway, his daughter was noisy and troublesome during the class. And I was thinking, yeah, a guy that was that bad at his job would probably be a very organized parent.
As we were leaving, I was asking Catherine if she remembered the guy at all, or maybe his name and she didn’t. She just said when the mom came over after the info session was done (the kids were in the back at a table drawing and entertaining themselves) he growled at his wife: “She peed on the carpet!”
Yeah. I don’t miss working with that guy. Whatever his name was.
