“75% attendance is mandatory”

A junior said "Good morning" to me in the elevator. I checked my watch. It was 11:00 AM. I looked at him. "It's almost lunch," I said. "You're three hours late to the concept of morning." He tried to explain he'd been at his desk since 7. I interrupted and told him accuracy matters more than intent. I emailed his reviewer suggesting he take a CLE on time management. He apologized later. I didn't reply. I forwarded the apology to HR as proof of his inefficiency. Greetings are risky. He learned an important lesson. Never speak to a partner in the elevator. Unless spoken to.

May I introduce you to this pictogram

For the first time in my entire life, I realize why Vietnamese people (and every Asian people in fact) hate the Chinese so much. This entire campaign to force down the throats of everybody to call it “Chinese new year” is an incredible propaganda campaign. They don’t even call it “Chinese new year” in China. They call it “spring festival” and I guess from now on we should call January 1 “Gregorian new year” in order to satisfy their logic. The reality is the beginning of the Lunisolar agricultural calendar has a different name in a variety of Asian countries, and it’s pretty arrogant of the Chinese to get everybody to call it “Chinese new year.” “Lunar new year” is fine, no one wants to say “happy lunisolar, agricultural new year”. Yet these Chinese propagandists are out there trying to get everybody to just label it “Chinese” in order to satisfy their superiority complex.
