02.26.2003 - Unprofessional Professionals

A while back I ran into 2 weird situations that struck me weird.

Situation 1: I was sitting at my desk at work and a recruiter from contract house walked by on his way out of a meeting. He saw me and said "What's up?" I greeted him and everything. After he left I mentioned to a colleague "I ain't that recruiter's dawg. I know he didn't just come in here and say 'What's up?' That's not very professional." I mentioned it about 20 more times because it was so wrong.

Situation 2: I went to an Auto Glass repair place to get a stone chip filled. I making arrangements with the receptionist. None of the workers were in to look at the damage. She mentioned that one dropped another customer off across the street and to wait until he came back. in her words..."I would be better if you waited here until he comes back because it would suck if left the car and we couldn't repair it." It would suck? What kinda talk is that? I guess it isn't that unexpected coming from an auto repair place but Come On Now. I also mentioned this about 20 more times because it was so wrong.

I haven't run into any other Unprofessional Professionals since then but I'm sure they'll come around.
