"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen
Yeah. That sounds about right.

Date: 2024-10-09 01:33 pm (UTC)I kind of stepped in it yesterday - when I was asking a co-worker about a new job she was taking. She said it was a manager, and that her tasks included checking payroll, if there were enough trains, if various safety measures were followed, timecards...
ME: So administrative section?
Co-workers: No, it's not administrative, she's managing people.
Me: Uhm, administrative doesn't mean being a secretary, it means checking payroll, and that there's enough of this, etc.
Co-worker who is leaving looks at me in abject horror, radiating dislike: okay fine, whatever you think it is, I have to leave now.
[Good news, after this week? It's unlikely I'll have to deal with her again.]
