Work related cattiness

So you think that adding my new project to your responsibilities in the database makes you look important, huh? And it's in no way going to make you look really silly when people search the database for that project, find your name and ask you a question that you are not going to have any idea of the answer?

Just don't expect me to trip over myself to sort it out - personally I don't give a toss who says that they're getting credit for it. But the fact you also filled my document with pointless little 6x4cm screenshots, then took the executive decision to send it straight to the printers while I was in a 2-hour meeting has offended both my sense of aesthetics and my professional pride.

And while we're on the subject of you, dear, simpering and giggling whenever a male colleague talks to you just doesn't make you look too bright.

Have I got an invisible sign on my head that says "piss me off" this week? OK - I'm done. Nothing to see here... move along.

In future projects use very cryptic error messages that only you will understand. Invent words if you have to :)

Yes - good plan. Would be evern better if I tried to cunningly disguise insults or swearing as jargon, where the only true meaning becomes apparent when you just read it out at someone.

Like I said - practically I'm not too bothered 'cos she'll get all my phonecalls :D But in principle I'm a bit peeved.

What about the ID10T error? ;)

Heheh - I think we might be onto something. Always reminds me of the line from South Park - there are no stupid questions, only stupid people. Don't know how many times I've trembled on the very edge of saying that one, especially in my recent run of seminars. Like your icon, by the way :)
