      Be careful, I had a friend who only listened to Nine Inch Nails. I really liked NIN. His obsession was too much. I hung out with him a lot growing up, like sleepovers every other weekend stuff like that. When I did sleep over, he could only go to sleep by putting on a NIN cd on repeat… let’s just say it’s been over 20 years since that, and I still have no interest to ever listen to them again. I like Radiohead and would not want this same fate for them.

    I’d share an office with Brice only so I could steal his lunch every day, open it, and dump it into a sealed trash can.

    Absolutely Wallace. He looks like he prefers to work in dead silence - thumbs up.

      Never shuts up about how the country has gone to hell, complaining about “the queers”, etc, etc, etc.

        He could be a union supporter though - in my experience of doing labor organizing, the younger folks are usually more pro-union, then there’s a dead zone of support from the Boomers, and then the really old folks are much more supportive because they grew up when unions were more of an active force.

        If Wallace is down to organize, then I’d pick him and just take the risk that he’s got some shitty opinions that I’ll have to work through and re-educate him on.

      Alternatively, he’s the type of old fart that constantly makes calls when they could’ve been emails.

      Gotta be careful with that. I shared an office with an old guy once and had to bring headphones. We wouldn’t talk, but he would constantly make old man noises. Coughs, grunts, snorts, etc. If I didn’t block them out, they would drive me crazy like nails on a chalkboard. That said, the guy himself was really cool and I loved working with him otherwise.

    Uno reverse challenge: It’s your job to allocate two of these people to the same office, and if one of them quits, gets fired, or dies you get that office to yourself. Which two do you pair up for the fastest vacancy and why?

        I mean, we’re going on no information but one data point. Certainly hr is up there on odds to have some issues. But I’m at a work place were people generally get along well.

          Same, dude. I was about to say, I’d hang with all of these people in an open space office. Seems like a perfectly okay group. Wallace might… have some generational gaps in the conversation department. But only might. He might be totally cool.

          Ya gotta be able to talk with almost anyone, right? Be nice and act interested by asking some basic questions, and we might actually become interested once we get to know someone.

          God knows it doesn’t always pan out that way – some people are just boring af – but… At least we tried, hey.

    I’d be fine with several of these.

    Brice: I’ve never understood people’s distaste for that smell. I won’t microwave tuna in an office because I know others don’t like it, but it wouldn’t bother me.

    Wallace: probably has some great stories, but also likely wants to shut up and get things done. Great combination if handled correctly.

    Shiloh: hey, you can play anything on your headphones, I’m cool with that. But if you want to play stuff on speaker it’s only fair that we play 50/50. (My secret: I could totally do up to 75% Radiohead)

    Dayzie: again, not a smell that tends to bother me.
