[Kissimmee JP]

So, whatever happened with your problem at work??

 

[debster812]

Whooops, sorry!!!!

You know me Fishy†, always causing trouble

 

[Fishbone†]

Well, I took your advice and worked it a bit to fit my personality. I took some things that I need him to update by next week, wrote the time I requested the work (which I shouldn't have to request) on the top of the paper with the due date and instructions on updating them (which he also shouldn't need) put them in his box. I then followed that all up with an email to him with all the same information and copied our boss. I used to coddle and babysit and often did most of the legwork for him, but now he's on his own.

Thank you for the advice, and thank you for asking. I'll let you know if it works. So far I have not heard a single word from him in two days.... no response, no good morning, no retaliation.... absolutely nothing. And if you knew him, you would know how hard it is for him to not talk.... so I take that as a good sign... I guess.

Well, I hope it works out for you. I'd say if he's not talking to you, he either is preoccupied with something else or got a "talking to" from the higherups about yelling so much.

Hit my email when you find out for sure - jpatanjo@yahoo.com

Have a good weekend, Fishbone (I take it you got your nic from the '80's ska band?)

Actually no. While I do like ska, I didn't know there was a band called Fishbone.... I hope that's not a bad thing. I love Christian ska though....

I earned my nickname about three years ago when I got a fishbone caught in my throat. It just so happens that I LOVE to fish... (been fishing three times this week already and they're not even biting!). I had caught this fish, cleaned him (but apparently not well enough) and cooked him. I got this bone caught in the back of my tonsil, and despite the efforts of the ER, it wouldn't budge. Unfortunately this happened the night before I was to leave for 5-day Sales Conference for work. So, for the next five days, I ate malts while the rest of the staff had incredibly wonderful meals...... it was 6-days, three doctors, a specialist and one long-lived nickname later before I was relieved of my "burden". Just remember, you asked!!

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!!

 

[Kissimmee JP]

Um, yeah, well, um, Fishy, that's quite, errr, a story ya got yerself there. KIDDING!! That's a priceless story. You got lots o lakes in Minny, right? May as well use them. Did it hurt???
