TheBiffster's blog post - National Pick on Me day

Two emails from coworkers...

one, says I have a lot of nerve taking credit for something somebody else did at work. Huh? Referring to something I was asked to do and I did it. Turns out the person who sent the email and cc'd it to all the layers of management, only heard part of the story and made a wild assumption about something totally not worthy of any assumption in the first place. And I didn't take credit. I filled out the paperwork for another person who didn't know how to do it and turned it in... end of story.

Next email... from somebody in accounting about how I'm ruining their life by doing my paperwork half-assed. To wit: I spelled a word wrong in a document in Word, that they could easily correct with a single keystroke. Actually, it was a typo... But, they chose to return it to me, pointing out my mistake in the message and explaining in detail about how things like this blah blah blah up their day.

Oh, and it was an internal form... never to see the light of day outside of the building, so the misspelling isn't going to make anyone think less of us.

I would go outdoors and have a cigarette and have a snit with my coworkers... but, I don't smoke and my coworkers are all in crabby moods today too.

I'm soooooo ready for some football!!!
