I hate my #$%ing job

[jeriendhal]

My supervisor is deflecting heat coming down from the VP for me, because of a letter that got sent to Mister Patel (Mr. Shah actually). I wrote it to explain what happened with his map. He choose to forward it to EVERY FUCKING VP IN THE COMPANY.

My VP says it was "Unprofessional". My crime? Telling him straight out just how the map verification works, why it's so complicated, and why I was so overworked that I just might have missed his particular correction.

Fuck 'em all...

So I'm doing the minutes of the meeting

[p-o-u-n-c-e-r.livejournal.com]

for my boss, his boss, her deputy, and my own CYA file. And rather than quote long extended remarks from all parties I paraphrase. And when I summarize the remarks, and attitude, about the (very expensive) consultant's defense of his useless computer application and the deficiencies thereof, which my little team exposed for the smoke and mirrors it has been all along these past 15 months, I wrote

"Mr [X] said [Y] would have worked, too; if it hadn't been for those meddling kids! "

Which, as it turns out, is a cultural allusion of Darmokian opaquity.

*sigh*. There is a reason the English language maintains two separate words for the concepts of "fun" and the antonym thereof.

{grin} - oh, that was a great description!

I know of no way to do the accents - but two words that have served as interesting (and even occasionally useful) cultural markers are "candygram" (in a rather sing-song fashion) and "butter" (in a short, sharp fashion).

Thanks guys, the laugh was appreciated. ^-^

And how anyone between the ages of 20 and sixty could miss the reference to "Those meddling kids" is beyond me...
