Cracking up at the office

[icarus]

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*

i'd rather you tell me the truth too, though, if they're going to talk about me behind my back they aren't really worth my time and i'm really glad to no longer be associated with them.

i apologize for the rudeness, i tried to be as polite about it as possible. but sitting back and looking at my info page and going 'god, i wish it didn't look like that,' isn't that much fun either.
