Ugh. Am at work place where people are usually nice, but after the third time in three visits that I asked them to do something and they didn't do it...they wrote "please provide documentation from your superior that this is needed". My response is something like "fuck you". Because (a) I am not asking anything unusual or difficult (if it were, sometimes I would gladly provide evidence and say "I know this is weird/hard but..") and (b) "from your superior"?!? Seriously?!? How about I ask to see YOUR superior and point out its been three months and you haven't fucking done this?

I think that sounds like an excellent plan.

meara,

what did you really say, tho?

(man the balls/ovaries on some people).

Oh man, I just watched last night's HIMYM. It was soooo painfully Canadian. And I loved it.

Timelies all!

I'm sorry about your co-worker, Suzi.

I have a co-worker who won't do anything I suggest if she knows it was my idea. I have to ask other people to suggest stuff to her, and she's the primary developer on my project. It's kinda tiresome.

We both report to the same manager, and I told our manager that she professed a reluctance for my suggestions because she does not want to participate in "rogue development."

I....I don't even know. I did not smack her down when she pulled her "...and if you were a developer you'd know that." but she's perfectly willing to sound nuts in order to push back.

Well, that sounds familiar. My Nemesis isn't so straightforward: she merely doesn't do the work I ask her to do, doesn't tell me anything I need to know to do my job correctly, doesn't cc me on emails involving my sites, and refuses to eat my pumpkin bread. She's the queen of passive-aggressive undercutting.

I'm sorely tempted to bake pumpkin bread for my last day here and leave the whole loaf on her desk.

I suppose the Ministry of Magic wouldn't let them put "For Use After Dementor Encounters" on it.

I GOT THIS!!

(4 chapters into book 3, ftr.)

Well, what I actually did was cc her on an email to my "superior" asking her to confirm that this was needed, and pointing out that it had been requested three times in three months. The email was a BIT snippy, but I tried to control. (Supervisor confirmed, truculent person them cc'd HER supervisor and basically said "we won't do it now but we will include it in our annual report" (instead of sending it sooner)

Completely unrelated to the 2 firings in our department 5 people were fired yesterday. 2 of them were VPs. holy shit balls is kinda the mood here. This was apparantly related to an EEOC whooha.
