VP Caught Me “Periph-Maxxing” in the Washroom – Return Offer Gone?
Hey Monkeys – update on the previous post.
I took your guys’ advice and decided to start training my peripheral to prevent myself from being overshadowed by the other intern. I get in pretty early (7-7:30) each day so I usually have the washroom to myself. I’ve been doing 5 sets of eye crossing, following a fly around the room, and rapid blinking - after that I do eye rolls until failure. I’ve also asked my doctor to prescribe high performance eye drops to improve clarity. (If anybody has feedback/suggestions on this regimen please let me know).
Anyways, halfway through the session I hear the door creak open and my VP walks in. This was during the eye roll portion, so I definitely seemed like I was totally geeked out of my mind on some drugs (think Meth, Fentanyl, etc.)
I hear: “Hey ____, you all good?” at which point I realize he’s there, also that it's totally over for me.

I tried to explain the concept of "periph-maxxing" but I think I ended up confusing him. He didn't believe me when I said the other intern was "mogging" me either (he said that "mogging" wasn't a real word).
Haven’t heard from him for a while now and he’s usually the one staffing me on work since it’s a pretty lean team. And whenever I try and go up and talk to him he doesn't want to look me in the eye and avoids the conversation. (Perhaps he is intimidated by my periph)
Return offers come out this Friday, is there any hope of saving this?
At least I’m periph-mogging the other intern now, with the downside that I see shadowy figures floating around when I'm not paying attention.
Full breakdown below - appreciate any insights. Drawings on paper since last time an associate made fun of me for using Microsoft paint in the office.

This shit is gold

+1 helpful. Will be implementing these exercises into my own training. Been supplementing beta-carotene which could be value add to your stack
Regarding the VP have you considered he’s working to improve his own periph to make sure he’s not getting mogged by interns? Would make sense if he isn’t directly looking at you.
Periph maxing is such prey behaviour. My positive canthal tilt means I can only see directly in front of myself.
Thanks for drawing.
Congrats on fent
this shit ass
Don’t worry about staffing, you just periphmogged your VP and he’s submitted to you in shame. You’ll be staffing him before long if you keep it up!
Esto es Cine!
Be careful on the eye rolls till failure and listen to your body. Have a homie that overdid it and now walks around like Bran Stark when warging
I feel you have a better odds of getting a return offer if your VP catches you jerking off in the bathroom than doing what ever this is.
sorry the image isn't loading and i'm having a really tough time understanding the story without it. I'll try to refresh and see if i can opine later.
Eh, some things don't need sequels.
