Jjopg and the dirt 4-wheeler - 2021-10-18 - TOGoS's Journal

I was working with some people at place that seemed like Epic. Me and some coworkers with whom I was relatively close were hanging out, on kind of a break, and it was about time to head to some presentation. The plan seenmed to be that all four of us would pile onto this small 4-wheeler and drive westward along a gravel path to the converence building. Would I try to hold on from the back? Was this really the plan? And then I was the one driving (while we were still waiting for one guy to get on; maybe he was talking to someone or finishing a cigarette or something), and I pushed on the accellerator and it got super fast super quick. And I was like 'wow, it's amazing that people drive these around without routinely getting killed'.

To the north of the path was a chain-link fence with 'the campus' behind it, so this path was maybe not part of the campus even though it was used regularly to travel between different buildings; maybe the campus was in multiple sections, like Disney World, or like Epic.

One of my teammates was named "Jjopg" (pronounced "Yosef"). He was like a relatively junior engineer type. I overheard his boss seeing something Jjopg had done, thinking that it implied incompetence, and getting ready to yell at Jjopg about it. And so I was getting ready to tell Jjopg's boss to hold off on that because maybe what Jjopg did was actually very reasonable, and you shouldn't jump to the assumption that someone is an idiot and yell at them.
