I pretty much got fired from a job because I took the word deadline seriously. My boss gave me a deadline to work with another co-worker (also under the same boss). But he then told the co-worker to do his work and not help me with my deadline. I got a little too honest with the boss about how can he give me a deadline and then be the 100% reason that I didn't meet the deadline. He said ok, we can just change the deadline, I then made the mistake of honestly asking him how do I know the difference between a Real deadline and a Fake deadline without reading his mind. He didn't like my questioning his methods and used my missing of the deadline as "Cause" :p
Deadlines for sales is ALWAYS different than deadlines for everybody else. Sad, but true. The bottom line will always be the dollar, and the sales weasels don't care how much time and effort and aggrivation it costs someone else, just their commission check for making the sale. Who gets lunch paid for by the company to seduce customers? Weasels or Monkeys

i've got that part down.....being a witch is helpful except for that damned rede thing that says i can't blast them into bytes when they piss me off!!
how about the one where the neo-engineer says these drawing changes have to be done by COB so he can hand-carry them to the (ship) tomorrow (you didn't read that part, that's secret, y'know, that i send stuff to ships and all?).
so i bust my fanny (and other important parts), work thru lunch to get the damned hardcopy AND A CD (of course he wants me to sit and watch the burner grey-bar him a damned CD) onto his desk.....and when i take it there i find out that the fool has left for the day and won't be in tomorrow "because his flight leaves at noon tomorrow and he needs time to pack."
i hope he remembered his damned drawings mid-pacific!! and i can't wait for the "orders" to Overnight Drop-ship them to him.........let's see if i can miss the FedEx guy's visit by, what, 10-15 minutes? never piss off the peons on your totem pole. we've smelled all the krap before and we know how to

Yeah, you couldn't get away with that more than once, but it might be worth it trying!
