We in support had been told to direct any questions to the new employee who was down the hall. The big scary guy who smoked a lot, and seemed to know only five words.. none of them printable. So we pulled short straws and one of us would creep down the hallway and ask the TrollKing to fix some package that was horribly broken. That person would then get a barrel of swear words and other language that we weren't sure was directed at us or the package (or the co-owner who had decided to allow everyone else 2 weeks break after a release). Eventually we found out that getting him cigarettes without filters and instant coffee that he would use as straight food was our best bets for survival.
