“2. The Hovering Micromanager: I was diligently writing
PeopleCode when I had an odd feeling I was being watched. In the
reflection of my monitor I could see my manager, Ted, hovering
about four inches behind my chair. This sneaking up on people was
his trademark, so it wasn’t too much of a
surprise.“Good thing this was before the web was prevalent or I surely
would have been busted for browsing fantasy football sites.“I turned around and he said
“Hi†— like he had
just appeared, when I’m sure he was there for
at least a few minutes. As Ted started talking to me, I noticed
blood running down his forehead. (That’s not
relevant, but too weird not to mention.)”
