so…my old boss is back in the office today.

so…there’s this guy at work — I’ve mentioned him before in passing as the ferengi (he kinda looks like a muppet) — and he’s not the most socially there guy, in that MIT-sort-of-way. Well, he has this (nervous) habit of saying “hi” to people, even if they don’t, or can’t respond.
