barry doak
i started a new job on monday this week. they stuck me with this dude named barry doak.
and he's totally cool, man.
he loves bon jovi (he's got a picture of him on his desk. the OLD bon jovi... you know, weird sports jacket with the sleeves rolled up, big hair, and a pink derby), marilyn monroe, and aerosmith.
he's about 36, so i can see where those hair bands would be cool to him.
but you just can't get this dude down, man. he's got customers calling him all day long pissing and moaning about not getting parts, but it doesn't even phase him!
i thanked one of our bosses for putting me with him because i totally want to be like that when people yell at me. just go along with it, nod your head and say, "yep, i hear ya. i know... i know." when people are basically rippin' him a new one, he's totally on their side. he tells them he'll do what he can to get them their part, and then their happy.
he was telling one lady today about an engineering freeze on a part and she cut him off and said, "I CAN READ!" so he just did what he could and overrode the grief on her order and when she was hanging up she told him to "have a blessed weekend."
still, he wasn't bent out of shape. just kinda laughed it off.
it's kinda funny....
i wanna be more like the guy who's getting yelled at rather than the lady telling people to have a blessed weekend...
