A short conversation between my manager and me...

[ret5hd]

Background:
My manager has been attempting to get me a company e-mail account for a couple of months now. He is short (with attendant syndrome), hardcore repuke, and ex-marine (supply).

Manager: I found out why you don't have an account yet.

Me: Oh yeah?

Manager: Well, it seems that after I ordered it, I called and cancelled it. I don't remember doing that, but I guess I did. They say I did.

Me: Well, we already know one thing...

Manager: What?

Me: Well, as a working man and a republican, we already know you're not that bright.

Manager: <long blank look> hehehe. walks off.


Man, I love being in a union.

1. You're not doing yourself any favors

2. "Attendant syndrome"?

Christ. There's no such thing as short-man syndrome. What an offensive stereotype.

4. I was waiting for that...

n/t

7. "Alexander the Great? Puny little five foot four."

Just recalling the Napoleon scene in Time Bandits.

Ian Holm.

I hope that wasn't offensive. It was hysterical.

8. 2000 years ago, five foot four was about average height.

5. I Have A Problem With Both Your Attitudes

He's a dick for abusing his power....


and you aren't very nice to abuse your power by insulting him...


I am for one standard in the work place and that's the Golden Rule and I say that as one who has managed others and one who has been managed...

6. Union or no - my motto: "Don't make it an easy decision"

...in this golden BushCo era in which the country is being carpet bombed by pink slips, there may be nothing you can do, but in the meantime - don't make it an easy decision.

9. He's Abusing The Power Of Being A Union Member

Being a member of a union means you have collective power and can't be crushed like an ant... The poster used that power to dis his boss...

Shit ain't right....

[el_gato]

10. talk about politically correct

if he wants to spank his boss a little, good for him!

[ret5hd]

11. thnx...

you get one chance to get a jab in...

btw, we've worked fairly closely together for the last few months, and had a few political discussions, so it isn't like it came out of left field. He knows where i stand.
