kind of got in a little trouble at work today

[clutchdust]

our regional sales guy came up yesterday and has been making some rounds, talking to some customers. he goes to one i just did some work for. now let me set the groundwork, this guy and i just don't get along. he keeps calling me because i fix his shit, but we just don't see eye to eye. i think part of the problem is because we both think we're right, but only one of us is so the salesman is talking to him and bitching about my attitude. the salesman comes back and tells me how unhappy he is that i don't (basically) kiss his ass. so i look at him real serious like and tell him, "you know man, i really wish i gave a shit". all he could do is roll his eyes.
he knows we don't get along and it's no big deal. the guy is going to keep calling me because i can solve problems. i just hate talking to this guy.

OH, Christ, poly ticks.....ONE nice thing I like about working alone, with a few kids for support when needed....

keep my small short client list, one page long, and the investors and have over with it.....

Wife is kind of in the 'middle' on some computer shit with a important client of hers, a importer/distributor.......and so some hard drives with CCard info on them, the computer guy replaced them....oops....

so to recover the old drives for security reasons....PIA....

always something, damn drives probably reformatted by now....

the computer guy is by FAR the best I ever seen....Freeking EE too boot,

so to get along witout loosing the much needed GEEK, and to keep the client happy at same time.....

I"d rather replace the plumbing in a tub shower....fuck it....

:harhar:

That maybe true. But, how much "stupid" can a person take? I deal with this all the time. I have my phone voice and my real voice. Only way to handle "stupid".

Hehehe, one good thing about the "customers" I work for - they don't do sarcasm so I can vent and they don't get it :smash:

I deal with folks who do not understand the value of my time every day. It pisses me off to no end to stand around and wait on some clueless dumb ass customer who does not realize that if I ain't workin' I ain't earnin'. Some people are just stuck on STUPID. Still, I have to put a smile on my face and be a good toady and be polite to them. People wonder why I yell and curse so much when I drive ...... I can't yell in yer face so I'll yell at the windshield! It's safe!:hissyfit:

Don't get me wrong, I do have my limits. When pushed too far I finish the job, hand them their bill and when I get the money I politely inform them that I can not work for them any longer, please find someone else. At that point they are embarrassed and realize that they effed up but they can't say squat. I walk out with a check AND my dignity.

:drink:

It is not a policy that improves business profits, so it should not be overly utilized, however it is sometimes the only right thing left to do.

Obviously, but when crow starts tasting like shit, is when a shot of booze helps....:beer:
