I just spent the last 1.5 hours entering Stan’s **** on a spreadsheet he was supposed to do (he updated the wrong year’s spreadsheet) and re-filing his stuff in alphabetical order because he’s a turnip.

lol, another marketing resume.

The MacGyver of sales and marketing. Give me a pocket knife, duct tape, and paper clip and I'll show results.

You don’t need any of those things to show results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he going to hold someone hostage that has a fear of paper clips?

I hope you have someone that states... My marketing strategy, step 1 - steal underpants, step 2 - ????, step 3 Profit.

If you do, hire that person immediately.

You owe it to this board to bring him in for an in-person interview, and place those three items in front of him. Give him five minutes and post the results.

Well, step 2 better be “Marketing” or he can get F’ed.

Damn marketing gnomes.

Yesterday I sent a followup email to someone trying to get clarification on why something was done that I will need to explain to an external agency.

The person responded back with:

"Just what it says – <the item I was originally questioning>?!" With the question mark/exclamation point at the end. Really? She's essentially saying "because we did" and then giving me punctuation attitude.

I swear to god I've never worked with people so unprofessional. Hopefully my days here are numbered.

Poor form to not use an Interrobang.

We have an early dismissal next Wednesday for Thanksgiving, so of course the PM of a project I'm on schedules a late afternoon technical kickoff call. I wish them well.

Another person for @mikey's wheel

Postby **meow** » Wed Nov 14, 2018 8:22 am

I don't have an issue with certain meetings in the afternoon before a holiday. But a technical kickoff? The retention rate for that is going to be zero.

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Nov 14, 2018 8:28 am

Exactly.

I got interrobanged (giggity) in an email yesterday too by some puff pastry over a complete nothing issue...but she has a long history of being a two-bit slag...I hope Jesus spits in her mouth after drinking bad eggnog...

I feel like we could have an entire thread of mikey's odd insults.

Between the weekends and paid holidays, I need to only use four PTO days to have off from 12/22-1/1...eleven days in a row.

I get the same without using a single PTO days. Love working for a university.

Also next week will mark the 15th consecutive Black Friday where I do not work.
