Guess which side my boss is on.. No offense to those who will read this but I would like to tell the story in a simpler version. If only to show the intelligence level of an IT Manager in a scale. Let’s place our selves in a situation.
Let’s say there’s a box with balls in it, let us place into consider that it’s a box that we can’t see inside it but if we stick our hand inside and pull out a red ball it means that the box is a good box. So this box needs to be in the family room, so that everyone can take a ball from it. And the box of course needs to be made and filled with balls.
So the journey of this box starts in MY room. I work on the sides and fill it with balls then I test it. I stick my hand into a hole and pull out a red ball. Yay. It’s a good box. So I try it several times and each time my hand comes out with a red ball. Soooo, I move the box, the exact same box to Family room and yes, the idiot unrelated person tests it (the pet monkey of the family) and sticks his hand inside and pulls out a BLACK ball. It is now A BAD box.
Now that we have the foundation let’s continue with the conversation that nearly made me commit 1st degree murder (the only thing that stopped me was the monkey was far from my reach).
Monkey: What’s the status of the box (see this has been going on for two days now)
Josh: I brought the BOX inside a different ROOM, the BATHROOM, and I tried it there and still I pulled out a red ball. Like i said its a GOOD box, its only releases black balls when its in the FAMILY ROOM
Monkey: The Room has nothing to do with it
Josh: the bathroom is newly furnished and painted and I just transferred the same damn box into the bathroom
Monkey: Check your HANDS, maybe there’s something wrong with YOUR HANDS. because everyone’s tried to take a ball from the box and it still comes out as black.
Josh: I KNOW because they’re all taking it from the FAMILY ROOM, if they take a ball from the box in MY ROOM, the ball is RED. I moved the box to the Bathroom and we can all still pull out a red ball. So I know its a problem with the ROOM. I USED THE EXACT SAME BOX.
Monkey: Even in the Family Room it’s still a BAD BOX. There’s something wrong with your HANDS, there’s nothing wrong with the ROOM. Did you turn on the lights in the room?
Josh: *headdesk and cursed for a good ten minutes before replying* YES
Monkey: Aha! There’s a problem with BALLS! Your painting the balls! I see it all now with the lights on!
Josh: We have no paint…… *takes a picture of the box in the family room* see… no paint….
Monkey: Did you turn on the lights?
Josh: *groans* yes…
Monkey: Did you turn on the lights in Your room or the Family Room
Josh: ….in the Family room of course. That’s what we’re checking right?!
Monkey: Look josh, both my hands are having a problem. Even if I use my left hand or my right hand, I’m getting a black ball. So something is wrong with your hands. “COME ON. USE YOUR HEAD.” (that’s what he said)
Josh: DON’T YOU GET IT?! IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU USE BOTH HANDS, PAWS, TENTACLES, A FUCKING TAIL TO PULL OUT A BALL! IT’S THE DAMN ROOM THAT’S THE PROBLEM!
Monkey: Check your hands. There’s something wrong with your hands. You need reconstructive hand surgery.
Josh: *headdesk* I’ve checked my hands, I’ve checked my hands for two days now. There’s nothing wrong with my hands….
Monkey: Then why am I getting a black ball? I used my right hand then my left hand.. It’s still a black ball..
-end scenario-
Now put that conversation on loop because that’s what happened. Oh and I used his native language and English just to make sure he understood me. Unfortunately.. I don’t think he has a brain to understand at all. And guess what he still thinks the problem is with my hands.. Apparently I’m stupid.. Seriously FUCK MY LIFE.. I’ve dealt with assholes before but at least they know jack shit about what they are talking about.. this monkey should just stay in his zoo and NEVER EVER EVER SPAWN. This is NOT KOSHER….. FML…
