must learn to play better with others

so...yesterday was the day that my semi-annual work freak out. it really wasn't my fault...I swear!

Let's just say that I told some in the mismarketing department to "never fucking come over here and tell me you are too busy to help with the quality of the product! Without the product your job means nothing!"

And then while his mouth was hanging open and his eyes were starting to unroll from the back of his head, I added: "next time you lose 50% of our customers during the renewal process, we'll see kind of jobs we all have."

(complete with sound bites that were probably floating around in my head at the time)

I think that was the thing that did it...

"Don't you ever fucking talk to me like than again! Who the fuck do you think you are!?!"

And then he stormed off...

I thought he was going to hit me...

He probably would have if I answered his question with what I was thinking: "I'm saying what everyone else thinks!"

Oh, did I mention that this all happened in front of my boss' office door? His open door? With him standing in it?

yeaaahhhh

so far, there hasn't been any discussion of a touchy-feeling-we-all-work-together meeting to put this behind us...but I'll let you know...

currently reading
the term "reading" should be taken lightly (more):
The Illuminatus Trilogy: The Eye in the Pyramid, the Golden Apple & Leviathan by Robert Shea, Robert Anton Wilson
Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser
currently "reading" for classes
I should probably be paying more attention to these:
The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter, Rennard Strickland
The Indian Heritage of America by Alvin M. Josephy
Two Old Women: An Alaska Legend of Betrayal, Courage and Survival by V. Wallis

I recently saw a clip on CNN that said, while informative, blogs are largely for entertainment purposes, and should not be regarded as news. You should probably disregard everything you read here...just to make sure you stay well-informed.
