Ha, white boys with shaved heads look weird to me, like cancer victims. black guys can pull off the look.

It depends on the head shape to me. Besides, better a skinhead than that God-awful hair above the ears and nowhere else look. So aging.

I don't envy the male lot at all, the thought of losing my hair would ruin me. It doesn't even have the decency to be an "of a certain age" thing.

When you don't get your way, complain your way up the command chain until you do get your way. It's amazing how often that works in business.

I know.

When I travelled, each place I went the locals made me eat the most disgusting regional cuisine they had, or what they thought it would be to an american. The Chinese made me eat dog, the French snails, the swedes lutefisk.

Provided you don't chew the bloody things, pretty good.

Love them snails in garlic and butter, disappointed the hell out of my hosts.

The swedes won btw.

I've only had them once, and I was too young to really remember the taste, though I recall I did like it. It's too expensive to have more than once in a blue moon.

Whatever works. Gets a bit tiring to be constantly told "we can't help" until you have to piss off enough people until it gets to the point that they realise the easiest course of action is to just do their bloody job properly and do as I ask. It's Friday and I want to wind down for the weekend, not get all assertive and managerial. Stop making me rain hellfire on supervisors.

You must get the best escargot, what with those giant african snails.

Oh, I'd have a lot of fun with you in my employ. Probably construct a labyrinth and place what you want in an undisclosed area of it.

When they piss you off, your job is to make it worse oN them not better. The lesson to be taught is true aggrivation, like shit, flows downhill.

Oh, I am. That's kind of the point. The more trouble I make for them, the more likely I'll get my way. It's just draining to have to fight them all the way to the end on what I consider to be trivial issues.

Oh galla, our little timone is learning the ways of the world, (cries).

That's when I get madder. The weird thing is I kinda expect it from employees who are bad, when I get it from good ones it's a wtf moment.

Lovely and garlicky if swallowed whole, tasting of sludge of chewed.

I find office arguments disproportionately aggravating, somehow. I can only say I've truly lost my shit three times in my life, two of those times being during stints at SEPAM involving an utter cunt in business development who I took no small pleasure in when he was given the boot back to China recently.

These aren't my employees. These are other companies. If it were my staff I'd hit the roof.

I eould highly, highly advise that you don't get obstinate with employees not under you, especially since they're not in your company. If they're delaying your work, report it to HR so it doesn't reflect badly on your review. Being that angry douche from x company makes your employers look bad.

Mhm. Everyone in a company always has the duty of representing it in one form or another.

I'm dealing with a appeal case regarding a customer of ours who claims they did not receive an item, where we have plenty of proof that he has. The company we use to list the item has sided in favour of the customer despite overwhelming evidence that it's fraud, and so the money has been taken from our account. All I can do is fight it up the chain until they either reverse the decision, or they flat out refuse to help. Not so much delaying my work, but that they've made a decision that is quite clearly wrong, and taken the money for it.

That's why I don't tell here which company I work for.
