11.Marwhen I say jump, you reply “how high”
We were looking at the change control requests when our German director came in. He saw the application we’re using and made a joke about its name. He said it should be called our CIO’s first name instead.
Of course, all of us smiled but I’m pretty sure the joke is lost to everyone, myself including. Was it a private joke? Who knows.
When he left, the Belgian CIO said “you guys should laugh when he cracks joke”. We laughed then.
Perhaps we laughed for different reasons because I laughed at the absurdity of what he said. Perhaps some people laughed to kiss ass. Perhaps some laughed and wished they were dead.
In any case, I’m not taking it against our CIO. I like the guy. And after a year of working here, that really means a lot coming from me. Normally, if my direct boss(es) are assholes I’d be bolting by now.
Still I’m not sure whether he was serious. The good thing is I don’t interact with the Director aside from hi-hello, so I don’t think I need to find out whether I ought to practise some canned haha hoho.

there you go Auee, yung dilemma whether to laugh at the Boss’ jokes or hindi. heehee. ganyan din kasi ako sa Boss ko eh, madalas nga green jokes pa. feeling ko pag tumawa ako about a certain statement that he said that was hilarious, baka naman isipin game na game makipag biruan, kahit minsan super green ang joke. pero pag hindi ka naman tumawa, ayun, baka din naman ma-insulto.
HEY! anak ka nang 1684 BC ka pa nag-ba blog?! hahah! indi pa uso ang computer nag-bablog ka na? grabeyshus! HAHAHA
feng, ang hirap nyan ah… Deadma ka na lang?
reynz, your majesty di ko po gets…. anong 1684 BC?
The thing is, pag tumawa ka naman at hindi naman nakakatawa yung joke baka isipin naman ng mga katrabaho mo na sipsip ka. Kung ako lang, I wouldn’t. At worse iisipin lang na di mo na-gets. Better na yun kesa isiping kiss-ass ka, di ba?
Ay mahirap yan. Yeah, better not laugh na lang, kesa the joke is gonna be on you if you laughed eh di mo naman alam kung bakit.
well, can never understand the German sense of humour anyway, no offense to our German friends btw
