One silver drop is all you need to put a hole in your head at 2000 degrees...
My week so far...
Had a crappy monday that eventually turned 'ok'...
in short I was bullied by a nasty interstate executive manager. Synopsis as follows: I was doing him a favour, he shat on me (i.e. threatened me with a phone call from the director of the entire business line, if I didn't do what he wanted). Conversation as follows:
Him: Slave...your current owner has loaned you to me to do this work for me. You must do it today, rather than next week, as I had originally told him.
Me: today? But you know I can't do the work today...and you agreed on this with my PM...
Him: WHAT!?!? You dare to debate this with me?!?!
Me: I'm sorry - but you understood that I had no capacity to do your favour this week, however next week as you agreed with my manager would be fine...
Him: wahahahahahah rumble rumble bwahaahahahaha....you must do it now! Today!! Not next week as I had agreed with your manager, but RIGHT THIS VERY INSTANT!!! It must be done!!!! You must do it!!!! brahahahahahahahblurrraaaaaahhh
Me: I"m sorry, but I have other project priorities that I must do this week, otherwise my project schedule will slip etc etc And you agreed it would be next week, otherwise I can't do it
Him: well it must be done. I cant do it...it will probably only take you an hour at most and I would know this, because although I lack the skills and expertise to do this task I have somehow gained the ability to assess how much effort would be required to do it...through magic
Me: hit play button..."i'm sorry blah blah"
Him: IT MUST BE DONE! YOU MUST DO IT! I can't do it - so you must do it...and if you say no, I will get the Business Line Director to ring you and TELL YOU TO DO IT!!!
Me: 'click' *as phone is hung up
Like what? Is she going to ground me!??! Take away my allowance?! Whip me for managing my own project timeframe?
Pfffttt...what a complete see you next tuesday!
I told my manager, who hit the roof, and he told him to "...bugger ye off!"
Me: "Take that Beotch!" smirk smirk to rude manager and happy sigh.
...the witch is dead, the witch is dead....tra lalalalaa
