haha Well, that's very unfortunate, I'm sorry he ruined languages for you. It's never too late if you ever want to pick it up again. ;) I find it helpful with depression and mental health, too.
I still work with the prick, and he makes an attempt every now and then. He is the classic "fun bully" type who never grew the fuck up, you know the kind, the one who thinks they are your friend even though they are nothing but a pain in your arse, you cant think of any thing they have ever contributed to the "friendship" but they will always fall back on "I was joking, we are friends right?" when they go too far, and you say yes because they are too immature to handle a professional working relationship with someone who doesn't like them.

Long story short, he wants me to learn polish and he is too self-centred to ever really give up on that.

I see... *huh
I can only assume you have tried to say "I don't f*cking want to learn Polish, get over it and stop talking about it to me", or not to reply at all when he talks about it (which is my preferred technique, should work in the long-term). :p

Nope, he is a big baby, he is the kind who gets really pissy when someone else misplaces his spirit level but also when someone gets angry at him for breaking THEIR tools, he is also our only construction guy in an IT company, if we need something installed which doesnt come pre-fabricated, (like build a stand for a long distance wifi bridge) we need him. For better or for worse I have to work with this guy on occasion and whereas I can swallow my problems and do the job, I'm pretty sure he cant. He is one of those unfortunate problems you have to deal with when you are being the bigger man.

Of course I will try to follow the format, first, some fun facts.
1) Did you know that Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III, the colonel-in-chief of the Norwegian Kings Guard is a penguin living in Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland? He is the 3rd such penguin to have been knighted and hold this position.


I have always believed that penguins were in fact part of the royal family and should be treated as such.




1) When was the last time you got one over on a boss or parent? (If you dont have such a story, it can be about beating any person who considered themselves above you)

I never got one over on my parents. I was scared to death of my dad. He literally would have beaten me to death. He was twice as big as I and four times as strong. I feared him my whole life until he was so decrepit he had to have help to shit. In later years I would stop in for a cup of coffee Fridays after work but I still was afraid of him.
2) What is your go-to "brag" story? The story you tell to impress people?
I am a little narcissistic I guess, I don't really like to brag, but when the chance presents itself I show off my math skills by solving math problems for people faster than they can pull a calculator out of their pocket.
3) What is the nicest thing you ever did for someone that you dont normally tell people about?
Today I bought a package of Starburst out of the vending machine at work and I gave three of my coworkers a Starburst.
4) What is your strangest hobby/interest?
My strangest interest is eschatology. A not so common hobby is collecting and restoring Coleman lanterns but still thousands of people do that around the world.
5) Which is your favourite accent?
I love a woman's voice in Georgia USA
6) Which trend did you initially reject but ended up embracing later on?
Growing up Amish we only dressed in solid colors, no stripes or flowers or anything like that but my wardrobe has gradually change to include some checkers and subtle stripes. Right now I am wearing jeans, a neon orange T-shirt, and a black and white checkered insulated flannel shirt. A far cry from the Amish.

Thank you @Champagne . I didn't celebrate my birthday. I am not feeling well. I am really depressed. I am having unbearable mental pain. I am currently on sick leave. Not going to office. It's been many days since I post in SF.
