I wouldn’t have an attitude problem if you weren’t so incompetent
Posted in Dream on 09/22/2008 10:13 pm by enjanerdSo, a few weeks ago when I was in Wisconsin, some dude at the company partnered with us decided to file a complaint about my “attitude problem.” This was interesting because I didn’t particularly know who he was. But I guess that doesn’t negate the possibility that I was assertive while dealing with people who wouldn’t listen to me.
In any case, their company’s program manager asked him if I was getting my job done. He said yes, so that was the end of the matter.
Until the results of our weight survey came in… and I noticed that there was something strange going on. It looked like there was a module hidden on board that was the culprit for some added weight.
That evening, I received a visit from the program manager and his thugs. (What is this, some kind of HBO show?) Suspecting that the discrepancy would be discovered, (how could it not..?) he thought it would be easier to bully me into keeping quiet than anyone else who would’ve been my replacement.
Um, dude… That guy told you I have an attitude problem. What makes you think I’ll be a pushover?
Apparently, he wasn’t very smart.
In any case, he left me with his thugs to “teach me a lesson.” Fortunately for me, they had a problem hitting a girl. Unfortunately for me, they didn’t have a problem harassing me. They were unprepared for me to not care about their advances though. While they were confused about what to do next, I walked out the door. Conveniently, there was a bike right outside, so I hopped on that and started heading for the airport. That was obviously the logical thing to do… what with it being 50 miles away. Sigh.
Soon enough, a van caught up to me with an angry program manager and some thugs inside. They were trying to run me off an on-ramp when it started raining. Somehow, they got confused by the rain and I was able to get away… and wake up from my nap in time to get to my Sunday afternoon meeting.
