Being Polite

I would think if I ever am a supervisor and I have an employee who works the entire weekend a project – let’s say, a big giant video that is going to be shown to 450 people that features popups boxes as in the VH1 Popup Video style along with voiceovers – that the first I’m back at work, that I would stop and see how the progress is. It’s only polite since the employee is probably putting in more hours than what they are being paid for, they are stressing out to no end, and they were categorically against using their own voice for the popup voiceovers, but had to do it either way.

 

But simply said, the PG doesn’t know Polite if it bit him in the ass and took his damn magnets away.

 

Yes, the PG has been too busy playing with magnets that make noise when you throw them together than to come see a video that I’ve probably worked on for well over 28 hours since Friday morning at 7 am.  Needless to say, let him destroy equipment with the magnets – there will be no conversations between us. I know that he wants a new freaking blackberry, but playing with magnets around the blackberry is going to do nothing to get me to put his blackberry on our servers. Hell, it’s not going to get him anything if he ruins stuff with magnets.

 

And now, he still has things to do for me, and he is too busy. What the hell? Was I too busy this weekend to work on the video? Was I too busy this weekend to figure out how to make up the popups clear and not translucent? Was I too busy this weekend to place 4 filters on all voiceovers to make it sound better? Was I too busy to find the stupid “bloop” sound for each popup? I don’t think so. Give up the magnets, become a grown man for 6 minutes and 24 seconds and see the damn video!
