Micro Management Boss
Let me start by saying, I haven't done much work this past week. I've discovered a game online that I've become horribly addicted to. agar.io it's so incredibly simple but I love it.

Today however, I got into work, and started doing actual work. I'm making speed, doing important stuff. Naturally whenever my boss hears me typing, and not talking, he HAS to interrupt. What're you working on today? I give him my list of stuff. He then tries to derail me. Oh there's this and this and this you need to get done. It's on my todo list because I'm catching up today. But still. why can't I just be productive? Let me do my work :(

I'm told this is common, but let me just say that this is not common, at least not the way he does it. He has no idea what importance is. Everything's important, everything that comes out of his mouth is do it now.

Naturally I ignore him and do things in my own way. It doesn't really matter as long as it gets done.

So it's been a while
So it's been a while. I don't really have a good reason besides lack of motivation, and the fact that I now wear headphones 8 hours a day. I see 8% is a returning visitor so hopefully I haven't upset you that much.

If you want to get ahold of me, you can e-mail me here Dingleberg@workingwithsillypeople.com or glowsticks@workingwithsillypeople.com or anything@workingwithsillypeople.com.

Kinda neat I guess.

It's so Expensive to Ship We Lose Money!
So Boss#2 always throws these fits when the shipping costs more than what we charge. This is pretty common practice and is usually made up for in the profit of the Item. Except he doesn't understand this. He sees one price, and that's the ship charge. Sometimes we have larger items that we have to send out. It's not ideal to ship one of them because then we get whacked on shipping a little bit. Boss hates when Boss#2 does this. HATES IT.

Whenever Boss#2 starts this up, Boss just yells to me to take it down and forget about it. It's a comical routine that hasn't gotten old yet. Luckily Boss#2 can't see my face while it's happening.

Can You Just Verify This For Me?
The Other Guy Behind Me (a designer/web guy) had to do an inventory the other day of a particular product. Boss never trusts The Other Guy Behind Me when he does inventories. Sure enough the items he was upstairs trying to verify were right in front of him. Shocker

"Booosssssss?"
I guess I have to come up with a name for this lady now. I think we'll just call her Incompetence. It sounds fairly feminine. This lady can't do much for herself. She's older, and I have no idea why she's still employed. She won't learn anything new, and she always needs help. You can always hear her yelling Booossss, and I cannot stand it. It's mostly her voice. And the Way she talks to you like she's somehow superior except how when she's talking to you, she's always asking for help.
