Cracking up at the office
What is it about the blunt truth that makes people crack up?
The Finance Manager just cracked up when I calmly described a week's worth of effort on my part (digging through folders and researching detailed cost analysis) as "Useless."
Last week I told the Accounting person that "I went through those files, did all of 2003. Then I needed to sit down." She burst out laughing.
I described in chat how someone complained to me, saying my Percy isn't all like theirs so they didn't know if I ever read their stories. I told them, yes, I had read their stories, and no, I didn't like them.
Another time someone was irritated with some copies I made: "why is there a line through this?" -- "Because it's a shitty copier." She stopped cold. Nodded. And said, "It is a shitty copier." Then told her manager, who laughed for several days.
I have no point. I'm just making observations. *blinks*
