isislc Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ok, as most of you know, I work long hours and don't sleep much. Well I hadn't slept in 2 days, I hurt my bad knee again on Tuesday, and on my weight loss meds did not make a good combination. Soooooo....Early this morning we had a server crash. I was going to call the guy we needed to. My boss said NO! Go by the call list. Well I didn't have full access to everything so had to kind of bit and piece together who I needed to call if it wasn't my guy. I then picked someone and told the boss. He said yes call her, I said "but", he said do it. I called her and she told me to call my guy. Now what do you think happened?My boss told me that I made a mistake and called the wrong person and now he was going to have to answer for it. What made me make the decision to page the wrong person? I was like nooo, YOU told me to page her. I wanted to page the other guy. So like he kept on going that it was MY mistake and he completely forgot how we got to that decision. I finally got to the point where I got up and yelled yeah I made the mistake because you told me to do it. I'm not trying to get out of it. I picked up the phone and dialed the number, he tried to interrupt and I kind of said to shut the hell up and let me finish, don't interrupt. Of course HE kept on going and going and wouldn't shutup. Then he told me what I needed to do next time and I finished with yes I heard you and that's what I'll do so I did that tongue snap, whipped my arm and hand in a dismissing manner and said leave me now! OMG, what the hell was I thinking!!!??? When he left the room my co-worker just looked at me and I said what did I do. She goes I don't know but that looked pretty damn funny that I got his hackles up. lmao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once got accused of insobortination because I dropped my hand onto my desk too hard.My ex GFs dad got wrote up on his first day at a new place because they claimed he left a cig bud on the job site. He doesnt even smoke, they wouldnt listen to him. Crazy crazy. Dropping your hand on your desk is a little out there. Some people are just insane...

isislc Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah I've never been one to be too shy to tell a boss where to go. I always tell them that up front. I like to shake up trees and I hate lazy people. It has never cost me a job so far. I can't respect an employer when they don't respect their employees so expect to be treated the exact same way you treat me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
