We should do a ‘first disser you met’ thread
Mark and Erin - we became a scooby gang for the modern call centre environment. They both left and we haven’t stayed in touch.
I think I’m good to new people, I try to be.
Literally no idea. I have no memory whatsoever for that sort of stuff.
First person is really tough because I was quickly allowed to hire someone to join my team and after that it was them.
The whole office here when I first joined was a group of young women (18-23) and then an office manager and regional director who were both middle aged. Kept myself to myself really until people reached out to me (will tie in to bonus question) but there were a few that did early on who I connected with quite quickly just hard to pin point any single one.
Bonus Question: I think I’m generally very affable, approachable and open once I start talking to someone, to the point where some other senior team members have gotten their noses out of joint when their team members have come to me to assist them with problems. On the other hand I’m probably too up front/honest for my own good at times?
That said on a bad day or when I’m feeling introverted I can come across as pretty cold.
Ok I’m going to make the thread. Just make something up of you can’t remember
You can say it was me if you want, I’ll go along with the lie.
it could have been, we met at Truck, right? so there could have been any number of us DiSers you met first. Although we should have met sooner, I remember alc**k and I had been wandering around Woolfire earlier in the year trying to find you, can’t remember if you’d ended up going to that or not?
Yeah, Truck! (DISCOSHED!) Still got loads of Polaroids from it in a box at home, but think you and Sophia were the two I said hello to first. And then we all got very drunk for three days.
very very drunk. I have vague memories of filling a two person pop-up tent with many more than two people and snogging, or perhaps more accurately, being snogged by @olegrich
that shed though!
“I just, err… “met…” a boy who said he was in Foals!”
was that that guy you were with? i can’t remember what was going on.
