another deal. ....


how the fuck do you walk into a dealership at 8:45 and buy a car?
what the fuck is wrong with people? We close at 9. ALL dealers close at 9. I watched these fucking hoodlums walk in at 8:45.

I'm going to dismember these motherfuckers.

I feel your pain LJ. I fucking hate it when they walk in late, then the sales guys will offer them a wine or a beer and I sit there thinking really nasty thoughts!

Hey- I get to drink and clean tonight.
Because that's how ridiculous my life is right now. No time to drink? No time to clean?

Drink and Clean!!

Pathetic

I work at my computer from 9 am to 12 noon (officially) each day but am available for consultation via mobile pretty much any time from 7am to about 9pm on work days and during daylight hours on the weekends.

Some of the people in the office seem to have a problem understanding that if they call me at times other than 9am to 12 noon, I might not be at my desk and have no plans to be there till late that evening and then they get pissed off because I can't give them the answer they need right then and there. These people are not even customers. They're the fucking morons I work with!

Oh, and when I tell them to email me the details and I'll sort it out when I get home, they don't send the fucking email.

I think we all have to deal with arses in our work days. That's why it's called work.

Quit giving them information about your whereabouts and what you are currently doing. (if you can)
Act like you are dealing with it right then and you need to call them back in a couple mins. And they need to e-mail you right then. Give very little details if you can. I watch people do this all the time to our IT guy and god he is smooth. You never know where he is....he always acts like he's right there sorting it out. He might not be...but he's not going to tell you about it. I've only done this once myself and it worked. I pretended to be at work and just sorted everything out in my car on the way home because my boss was too dumb to realize that it was 45 mins. after my shift.

Well, I don't really care if they know I'm not at my desk when it's not my scheduled working hours. In fact, that's the bit they need to get a grip on. That I probably wont be at my desk to save their universe if they call outside my hours.
