Scenario #2: Well, you got through the summer party without incident - except - and you even met someone who works for another company in the Tech Centre. You agreed to meet for coffee, which goes OK until...
“So, what's your position on bushmeat”
“It's not bad.”
[Wrong answer dumb ass. Although you went to George's Bush-Meat Deli in Kingston all the time before it was forced to close recently, now is not the time for colon-cleansing honesty about gamey meat - particularly since you're not going to be able to
get it again. And add some facts to your recovery.]
“I mean it's bad, very bad. Lacey Act violations, possibly CITES, the Mann Act, Glass- Steagall, Treaty of Versaille.”
“OK, let's not overdo the sincerity. Then you would have no problem signing a pledge about it?”
“Are there stock options with it?”
[Haven't you learned anything from the first question? Her issue could be your opportunity, but you'll have to be smoother than you've been so far.]
“I mean probably. What does it say?
[Now you've done it.]
Before you can say "road kill," she brings out the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force promise form.
[We've seen this routine before!]
OK, we've heard much, much worse - "ideas" like "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction."
Anyhow, you're not asked for any money, at minimum, just to change your behavior slightly. (If you want to get more involved you can check out some more reasons here - pp 11-15 ).
And as to the form content, if you're inclined to sign it, we suggest you insert the word "knowingly" before "eat" under the Take Action! section - just in case George's Bush-Meat Deli reopens somewhere else under a different name and you unknowlingly eat a chimp taco brought in by someone on your project team.
Hopefully, in the future, you'll field these dates with women with clipboard checkoff criteria a little more swiftly. Note, we didn't say honestly. There are a lot nut jobs out there. They'll keep you so busy trying to meet some standard that you might lose track of first base.
Bon chance.
Oh, you signed it, and she's still there? Yeah, we're surprised too.
