Lies!

306 words.

So I get to work, and about 5 minutes after I arrive, Julio is on the phone. (Julio is not in the office on Fridays.) Julio proceeds to tell me that he needs me to work a little extra to make up for time I missed because of dentist appointments, so that we don’t fall behind schedule.

WTF??!?

First of all, we are NOT behind schedule, and even if we were there is only one person to blame for it and it sure as hell ain't me. I finished the code for not one but TWO modules back in February and March. Back then, I printed out a lovely piece of paper with my suggestions for config file layout for the first program of the first module and gave it to Julio. Julio proceeded to procrastinate his butt off and do absolutely nothing for FOUR MONTHS. He has continued to procrastinate even to this day. Of the six config files I've submitted for his review in the last couple of weeks, he has looked at exactly one. Any insinuation that my missing a few hours of work will be the probable cause for any delays in shipping a product is highly insulting not to mention extremely delusional.

So anyway, after he tells me how much he wants to stay on schedule and get the product out the door as soon as possible, what does he say?

"I want you to take an hour or so and go over some programming with Seluki today." (Seluki is Julio's daughter, and no that is not her real name.)

WTF??!?

Oh and btw Julio directed me to delete some files from the InstallShield project yesterday, saying they were "not needed anymore," which I faithfully did. Turns out they were not only needed but a major portion of the product. Ha-ha!
