How do I keep myself from murdering my co-worker?
some of you know of my problems with the idiotic people I work with. Here's today's scenario. The vice president is creating a document that will be printed and will be available online ..someone noticed that there were fact checking problems on one of the pages ...literally 2 words had to be changed/deleted. So he calls me up asking me to send him the file I had prepared him with a few changes ..I say sure, takes me all of 30 secs to edit and send the file ..5 minutes later I get a call from the same guy asking me to come to his office to help him with something. Turns out he doesnt know how to save the email I sent him to his folder ..I sit down drag the file from the email to his folder ...done, go back to desk, 5 minutes later I get another phone call asking to come back to his desk......he says the changes that I sent him doesnt show up in the document he's working on.....I literally bite my tongue and stop myself from saying "that's because you're working on a seperate file you ****ing moron" ..so I throw out the document I sent him and apply the changes to file he's working on and go back to my desk ....5 minutes later I get a call from the same guy asking to come back ... he cant find the file he's working on in his folder despite being open in word ..I explain that you cant see it cuz it's open but it's still there ..I close the file and sure enough it's back in his folder ..he says "well it disappeared for awhile maybe it's a virus" ..I say no it's ok it's working fine ..then grumble back to my desk ...If I get another call I'm going to strangle him
so how do I stop myself from murdering him
disclaimer: all implied actions are meant to be taken with a grain of salt, I would never murder a co-worker
