Did you ever delgate a boring, repetitive task to someone-- a task that, though boring and repetitive, needs to be done accurately and is very important. And then you don't check on them for awhile. And then you need the information quickly and realize that they have screwed up a key componant which means you have to go through each and every entry, copy, etc for the past three months making sure they are accurate.
All. The. Time.
And then I get chewed out by the Big Boss for not delegating more often.
I had an unpleasant incident with the rude-but-talented guy in two of my classes this morning and I don't know what to think about it. He sits directly behind me -- I was leaning back, with plenty of room to spare between me and the front of his desk, and idly scratching the back of my scalp as one does when one is preoccupied and thinking.
"That's DISGUSTING" he said loudly. "That's unhygienic! Stop doing that!"
2 questions, because I'm still upset -- on a 1-10 scale, how disgusting is it for somebody to scratch or fuss with their clean scalp/hair? My second question is how much of an asshole is he, but the first answer depends on it....
Theo...if it's disgusting then I am a sewer of disgusting disgustingness. I scratch my head when I think often.
Two: He is a ginormous fuckmonster of an asshole and should be shot in the face immediately. Please see to that.
Theo - he's a tool and probably has no friends.
He should be thankful to sit behind you clean and lovely head.
"That's DISGUSTING" he said loudly. "That's unhygienic! Stop doing that!"
That's not disgusting.
This
is disgusting:
When I was in my 9th grade English class, sometimes I would retract the lead in my Eversharp mechanical pencil, run the tip through my scalp and then extend the lead until it pushed out the tiny white cylinder of scalp gunk....
I think I only did that a couple of times. Then I noticed a kid watching me, which made me realize how gross that must look so I stopped doing it.
I've been too ashamed to ever tell that story to anyone. Except to you people....
I'm scratching my head in confusion over the tool's obviously personal issues AIFG.
Rule 34?
After the talk about crazy people and their diets, I was reminded of this, which made me smile.
Relatedly, it makes me sad that my actual cat doesn't get it when I say to him, "OH HAI." Or "O RLY?"
Heh. You should have seen me last night earnestly explaining to the dog "but you no can has
pie."
Also "no pie for you!" and "no [Lucy], that's my pecan pie" channeling the Soup Nazi and Cartman respectively.
I think I was a little loopy last night.
Bush incoherently praises Odierno for ’snatching defeat.’
Today, President Bush thanked Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, who until recently served as the No. 2 commander in Iraq, for his service in Iraq. In attempting to apply the phrase “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” Bush offered this nonsensical praise for Odierno:
That would probably sting more if they hadn't fucked up the phrase themselves in reporting on it.
