So the IT guy comes into my office a few minutes ago. Asks me what I am doing for a lunch....I say probably not eating and working at my desk. He says, "hmmmm, I can go for the tuna from [restaurant in our building]" I responded yes, that sounds good. He then says, "you treating?". Huh!?!? He then says, "oh by the way, I ran the quarterly cookie check on the Firm's network, some interesting cookies.......not quite work safe, if you know what I mean"....yes, I know what he means.

So, now I have to buy this doofus lunch.

But it gets worse and weirder....so then he says, "hey, you know Ron Jeremy, right?" I reply that I know who he is (the number of porn site cookies on my harddrive make it impossible for me to pretend I don't) but I don't know know him. He says, "right, yeah, so I had a dream last night, I was spit-roasting some hot chick with Ron Jeremy, and during the roasting, Ron puts up his hand for a high five, and when I give it to him, he holds my hand and won't let go.......then I woke up.......do you think I'm a gay? Latently?"

I hemmed and hawed and during which I IM'd my secretary and had her buzz me, and then pretended I had a client call and kicked him out.

Is this fucked up or what? What should I say to this guy next time I see him? (my secretary is delivering his tuna lunch to him, so I am avoiding him for now).

so the guy blackmails you with dirt that could cost you your job, and he figures the value of saving your job is a tuna sandwich? you're 40 or 50 or so right? that's the sign of one unhealthy career right there.
