Thanks to the sort of changes at my job, there is a new person to whom this project reports. I met her for the first time, having only been told "she's a geek". This is not correct, so far as I can tell. She's more of a nerd in full-on social retreat. Whether or not she has computer skills is not something I could determine, as she said 3 words the whole time she was in the office, and I'm pretty sure one of those "words" was a grunt of assent towards some question. She is apparently covered in some kind of perfume, and the thick, cloying stench filled this room the moment she arrived. It has a sickly, dairyish paste stink, as if a glue company put out a "hot and spicey" variety. The nature of this fragrance makes me believe that even in small amounts it would fail to be "alluring". As it settles and thickens in this room of stagnant air, the smell continues a journey towards smelling exactly like elmer's glue.
Now that she has left, the perfumed air level is no longer being replenished, so I am left with merely the dull stink of the decaying fragrance components. I am moderately worried about a boss with no social interaction skills, and a definite lack of appreciation for the human sense of smell.
On the subject of the new imac: They are trying to make it look cool, but still friendly. Vid and I have come up with some very good improvements for the machine. The Imac doesn't hug yet, and Vid believes the addition of a pair of heated, soft arms that hug you when you hug the computer would be very popular. I think the iMac should be made ticklish, and have a cutesy, Elmo-esque laugh and vibrate function. I have heard the iPod may or may not have problems bursting into flame. Which is about as informative as me saying "I may or may not be capable of supersonic running".
