Mekbib
Software Developer, Helsinki
Once, at another company, a girl from marketing came over to where a group of developers were sitting. She was asking for quotes on why we liked working there. All my colleagues said how they liked different challenges, how their day is never boring etc and then she came to me. I paused for a while, took a minute and said, "you know, I like the people. The people are cool". She wrote that down and started to go away.
I called her back, "Please, I can say more sophisticated things than that", but she protested, "No this is pretty cool". Well, the fliers were printed and when it came out, under my name, it was written, "I like the people, the people are cool". And my friends erased the word 'the' and it finally read "I like people, people are cool". It made me look very simple.
But I guess that's me, I am Mekbib, and I am simple. I'm on a quest to discover and live out the profound, hidden in the deceiving simplicity of the simple. And I do like people.
