The fresher syndrome - Part 2

Antics of the seniors.

If you thought categorizing the freshers was fun enough, let me give you a moment to think about the antics of the seniors. The kind of stuff these rascals come up with might just make you laugh your gut out. So, as I noticed, the common behaviors of the seniors revealed.

Behavior 1: Look intimidating.

It's absolutely amazing how a mediocre engineer turns out to be one of the hardest working when a newbie is thrown into his/her team. You'd find him/her spewing out technical terms aloud, making sure that the new girl/guy around notices. The pace at which the senior walks around in the office would be such that his/her purpose is much greater than that of Mahatma Gandhi himself. You'd generally find these people fret for no reason at all, put up a serious face, eyes almost watery, staying back late just to make sure that the juniors are intimidated.

Behavior 2: Look cool.

"Have you noticed that smartly dressed guy? Wasn't he the shabbiest around till yesterday?" - Clear signs of a new girl in his team. This is a very common behavior. Just throw in an average/good looking girl (in fact, the looks don't even matter) and you'd notice how the dressing sense of a certain few would change drastically. You'd find seniors of this kind cracking jokes, trying to look relaxed almost as if they are the coolest and the smartest ones around. "So you're facing this problem? Honey, let me tell how I fixed a similar issue in the most efficient way", "Oh!, this job is way too easy, I've only done it like a million times before". Remember the "Category three freshers: Girls, don't worry, I'm here to help"? Guys from this category usually come up with behaviors of this sort once they have a new girl joining the team.

Behavior 3: Let me make myself known to all the newbies.

The best flirts fall under this category. They've got this undying hunger to make themselves known to all the new ones, girls and guys alike. You'd generally find them organizing a lunch party, a sports event, may be bowling, but that's the most they can do. Let's just assume that they're not equipped enough to take matters any further.
