…it would be less painful than having my boss look over my shoulder all day and trying to explain to him that this software is very complicated (in small words).
if it wasn’t complicated don’t you think that you would understand it by now, you whitebreadsilverspoonmamma’s boy!! (since you consider yourself so intelligent)
boss has left for a few minutes to visit the accountant. fine, let her explain to him that the business has no money because he spends every spare cent on buying the entire office lunch everyday (except me) and hideous yellow-leather chairs.
4 hours and counting…
i’ll repeat my mantra to keep myself sane (or at least keep me from walking out):
“$12.75 and hour and health insurance, $12.75 an hour and health insurance…”
It’s the principle of the thing (isn’t it always?). One of the employees in the main office has a company credit card. Every fuckin’ day he uses it to buy lunch for himself and the rest of the office (my boss included). I know it started out with him telling the boss he would pay back for lunch but it’s been *2 years * now and he hasn’t paid back a cent. In fact, the ‘lunch borrowing’ on the office plastic has expanded to include everyone in the office.
I can’t sympathize about the lunch thing as the bossman treats once or twice a month which I think is plenty generous. But, man, can I relate to the hovering-over-the-shoulder thing. However, in my case, I get to fume with resentment over the annoying customers instead of annoying bosses.
I spend the majority of my time on AutoCAD, which is pretty much a guaranteed magnet for curious onlookers (oooh, pretty pictures!). This inevitably leads to questions which I feel obligated to answer with dumbed down explanations of layers, model vs. paperspace, vector vs. raster graphics, etc. And heaven help me if I’m doing any 3D modelling! That stuff is just waaayyy too nifty.
In self-defense, I’ve learned to switch over to something boring like rebar layouts or bills of materials when my CAD operator senses start tingling.
