Does Boss Work?

Today early morning I was chatting for a few seconds with ActionGirl, the secretary, about some work matters, in that moment I saw Boss going around the office without any visible reason. At mid morning I was helping a friend on messeger because she had some problems with some Java stuff, and in that moment Boss passed behind me ( very dangerous... ) without a valid reason. In the afternoon Bohemien called me because he wanted to discuss some Mac development stuff, because now I'm working on that platform, so we started to discuss Mac qualities in general, and I saw Boss that was watching us and again doing nothing useful. Last but not least, when I was sending an Sms's to my girlfriend, Boss was standing in the middle of the office, standing up with no light in his eyes... was that man working or was he pretending to be doing something, without any real aim in life?

Gino simply never works

Today I met Gino 4 times: early morning, he was in the aisle, chatting with our most pretty secretary. When I passed behind his PC, he was chatting with friends (girls) on the web. Then I crossed him on the stairs, he was chatting with Bohemien about the qualities of most expensives Macs (???). Lastly, I found him sending SMSs from his cell phone to some other girls.

He simply never works.

Half microwave effect...

After some days of cooking, CEO passed by my work area, and was "disgusted by the mess". She suggested to Boss to "elevate" me to a better position...
Well Boss after saying "of course CEO, I was thinking the same thing" (he always says that to CEO, whatever she says), actually just thought to substitute one of my monitor (the violet RGB one) with an old LCD!!! Whoa!! Marvelous now I've a CRT one and a LCD, naturally they have different dimension so when I move my eyes from a monitor to the other I get a headache. Also my desk now is pending on the right side, so Big Boss told me:"Well you can adjust it: simply push it up with your back from under the desk and fix the pin on its right leg at the right height", yes, quite right observation, if I happened to be an elephant...

Microwave effect

Last day when I arrived in the office I noticed that on my desk there were two monitors! Wow double monitor is a good thing for a developer, but the 'little' peculiarity of mines is that they are old crappy CRTs! Ok, I could pass on it. But when I started to work I noticed that the second CRT has a strange RGB calibration, I tried to adjust it, but the better result was a quite violet luminescence of video, and when I say “better result” I mean the best result that you can obtain by that CRT box, not to talk about initial frequency of them, one it was calibrated on 60Hz and other one 50 Hz, if I didn't immediately adjust that I would be subject of an epileptic crisis! Another funny (yes I bring it about with a little philosophic manner ) particular was that my desk was starting to bend under the weight of two CRT monitors and two bricks (no joke!) under the monitors used to reach a regular height... Well after some hours of work I started to focus on a quite scary characteristic of CRT monitors, the radiation! Geez, I am in the focus of two electronic guns that point to my head!!!
