"Wait for iiiiiiiiittt!!"
we were having a public disucssion/arguement.
i laid out the facts on an account because what she was telling me to do was off. after i laid out the facts in front of everybody, then applied her answer, it was clear to everyone it didn't make sense. then she said, oh, you didn't tell me THAT one fact (which is like saying you didn't tell me the sky was blue). then i look at her dead in the eye in a way that was intended to make her feel like the dumbshit that she is and say "Well, I thought that was understood."

the bitch gives me a stupid look, then yells my co-workers name in front of everyone. he follows her into her office and she starts yelling at him asking what the fuck just happend and was she just disrespected?!? everyone started laughing and we kept talking about how she is a dumb, crazy bitch. I HATE THAT DUMB FUCKING BITCH!

Boss: "Why aren't those new servers in yet?"

Me: "You declined the request, let me pull out my copy and show you your signature stating there would be no budget approval."

Him - "We use a scanning system to help us cut down on the amount of paper we use. So, what you do is take the document, scan it, and then it is in your computer for future use."

Me - "Well, that makes sense for faxes and hard copies we recieve, but it seems that people use it for their own documents as well."

Him - "Yeah."

Me - "Well... if you create a word document... print it out... and then scan it - aren't you still using the same amount of paper?"

Him - "Umm..."

Me - :wtf

Bad Dad

Laughing at the hypocrisy
"You can't do all your business over the phone, you need to get out and cold call these people".

then

"You can't expect people to drop everything they're doing to see you, you need to call and make appointments".


"You're spending too much on fuel". (working the entire central valley)

then

"No, I"m gonna drive my own car" (when we both had to go from Vallejo to Fresno for the same meeting)


"No, I don't want to spend any money taking those 2 (pres. and dir of construction for a target customer) golfing yet".

then

"I think that account was an utter failure! We failed to get close enough to the top 2 guys!". (after previously mentioned target account went with someone else)



All of those are just smal examples of that jackass's self-contradictions.

I'm glad I don't work for that fool anymore.
