Of all the insults....

Read the first post in this:
http://horror.com/forum/showthread.p...ighlight=moron


Now, in the company i work for (and i am willing to bet most companies) the IT department tends to get looked over for just about everyhting. it's like camera men not ever getting an Oscar, nothing anyone else does is possible wihtout them, but no one sees fot to ever reward them, they just yell at them when something goes wrong.

So there was a huge meeting yesterday for almost all of the company. I didnt go, i didnt want to go. I answered phones. Mostly, i didnt want to go because last year i went and, suprprise surprise, IT didnt even get mentioned. All of the other departments stroked themselves and each other, but the guys who make verything work got jack shit. Wait, no jack...


So apparently this year, they gave out a bunch of awards. And IT got one this year! Huzzah! right?



Wong.

One person from IT got an award, and it was the dipshit in the above thread. What really chaps my ass is that he supposedly "Did more to help the company" than anyone else in the department. The guy doesnt even know how to use internet explorer for fuck's sake...

On top of that, the "big project" he worked on was to garuntee compliance with the standards that the people that are auditing us set up. What was the biggest thing on the plate? A little thing we call CMR. What did this dipshit have to do with it? Not much.



WHo built the fucking thing (and was responsible for over 90% of what is in it, and I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY WORKED ON IT?) ME!!


I am so pissed and insulted right now...

My mind has been made up though. Within the next couple of months, i will have a new job...:mad: :mad:

sometimes life is like a bad movie.. and contrary to what people like to say - what goes around doesn't really that often come around..

thats why there are so many movies where the bad guy gets it in the end.

its a fantasy - and we all love fantasies

Hey, guess what? The genius who obviously deserved that award just called in with a problem.


I told him to go to the control panel (windows xp)

Him: Control panel? ohh.... Hmmm. Where? I dont see.....Hmmm.. Uhhh.... Uhhhhhh..... Hmm... How do you get?.....


Wait... No...... Hmmmmm.... Uhhh... Oh! Ok. Nope. Oh, there it is, Im there now.

Yep, best fucking rbain in the entire department. We fix compyuters for a living and this dumbfuck cant even find his fuicking control panel.

Oh, did i mention that our company piloted for Microsoft with windows xp? Yeah, we have been using it a year longer than the rest of the world....

I'd be rich if I had a nickel for every time some jerk took credit for something I did. Join the club, pal.

I cant tell if that is sympathy or sarcasm, so i will assume the former and say thank you :)


My wife brought me lunch and a couple of littled awards she made to make me feel better, and i do :)

Im still leaving this fucking place

i did a windows 2000 rollout a few years back and they got me contracted help .. a bunch of guys with their certifications.
I had to stay hands on for the entire project because they couldnt do tough things like configure network properties.
