Yellow-Bellied

Well, I had difficulty completing those reports that have been haunting me this week. So I bit the bullet and wrote an email letting Bossman know that not only am I an absent-minded slacker by not doing the reports last year, but that I'm also an idiot moron because I can't figure out how to do them now.

Being the coward that I am, I sent that email right at 5 pm, and then hurried up and shut down my computer and ran out of the office. I dreaded coming in this morning to see how he would respond. But, alas, nada. My torture would be prolonged. Waiting is the hardest part!

Anyway, he eventually did respond to my email, just saying where I could find copies of the forms (I already had them), and that we could go over them on Friday. He ended the email with "Thanks," which made me feel better. He wasn't mad! Hooray!

And then I got another email from him. The subject pretty much read, "Good Job!" I was even more thrilled! He sent it to me and my coworker. He wanted to thank us for handling as much work as we do... and it was all downhill from there. It pretty much said (in disguised words), you guys are fucking up too much so I'm going to hire someone to oversee you. Yeah, nice back-handed compliment there, Bossman.

Ah, well, you can't win 'em all.
