Boiling point reached.....

I need to vent....


Some asshole came down to our office a little while ago and just sat and stared at us for a while. It turns out (when he finally got off his ass) that he had requested some obscure software and wanted to know who was going to get it for him.

I told him that the people who would take care of it for him would process the email. he wanted to know who "they" were.. I told him "The other two people in here, nnot me, im a developer, i dont deal with requests."

Now, it is clearly marked on the door to our office that walk ins are not allowed, call first then come bug us if we tell you to. he apparently thinks he is mo0re important than that.

As it turns out, the software he asked for was so he could work from home, becauser the dumb fuck left his godamn laptop there.

So he apparently understood that he wasnt getting shit from me and had a seat. Finally, someone who may have actually been able to help him ggets off the phone, and he tells him that he can email a request for astatus, but that is all he can do, sorry, but get lost.

So the dickhead wants to know who would be giving him the software, and gets told that is confidential, there is no way you will be given that.

So he made a smart ass remark about it being a well oiled machine and left.

So my attitude was fuck him.

He comes back a few minutes later saying he asked around and was sorry, he will go through proper channels. He said he was under the assumption we were "aces" who could help him, and based on the other people's comments, that wasnt the case, we obviously couldnt.

Now, none of the other guys in here seemed to get what he was saying, but i did. Basically, we are low-end nobodies who couldnt help him if we wanted to.

I sat quitely in my chair, because although i hate thi sjob, i dont really want an assault charge following me, because i was about to punch the fucker.

I'm seriously considering leaving work for the day because i am not able to calm down on this. I am so fucking tired of the arrogant cocksuckers that work here, especially since i know my boss is a fucking pussy who wont do shit about it.


I seriously have not been this fucking enraged in years.....


If i already had something lined up, i would walk. no notice, it sucked working with you people, go fuck yourself, bye.

What you need is a bazooka.

Seriously... That's awful. I've had jobs where I had to deal with people like him. Instead of the person being lazy, they were usually just really really wealthy and expected everyone at their beck and call.

Vod, I hope the rest of your day goes much better. Try as much as you can not to think about it and not to let it get to you.

We're here if you need to talk.:)

i think the fact that this bullshit happens and not only can i do nothing, but those who can wont.


It also reminds me that even though i have sent out my (sparkling) resume 30 time sin the past 2 weeks, i have had a meager 3 calls, two of them were for the same place (different recruiting agencies hiring for the same position in the same company) and the other was for a job with a 2 hour commute....

I am getting very discouraged and insanely frustrated.

Oh Goddess, I know how you feel. I don't even have a lucrative job. I'm sitting on my ass, and I don't like it. Our generation is having these problems, you know. For instance, my mom got an extremely well paying job without going to college (however, my mom is an extremely shrewd and knowledgeable business woman).

Now, they want experience. I spent years in college. I worked at the fucking library, because I didn't want to compromise my education. Here I sit, inexperienced with a BA in Religious Studies...with which I intended to go to granduate school until I found out that it would put me in the hole for 25,000$.

Oi!

Now you've gotten me started, Vod.:D

sorry to start any fires... Apparently i misheard hsi aces comment, which is good for him, and ihe actually sent an apology to one of my co workers, but i still want to punch him.

I did a lot of lifting this weekend so my arms are tight. I would probably break his jaw.

Goddamn i want to hurt something.
