Monitor Insertion
I almost lived the dream today...
Nearly had a freak out and quit my job , over something silly but thats keeping too much perspective.
A monitor in the office failed where a temp was going to sit, I delivered the only spare monitor in the building, a 12" LCD for a point of sale PC (like I've made do with for 3 years), and this was met with howls of derision from said temp, who happens to be the new owners daughters boyfriend. "Thats the size of a Ipad", "A playstation PSP is bigger than that" said the pierced puke.
"It will seem bigger when its stuck up your arse" is what flashed through my mind to say, but of course I dont dare live that dream. Yet. The day is coming.

"Tonight while you're tickling the insides of your BMW driving girlfriend who walks around this planet with an undeserved sense of accomplishment, why not ask her to ask her father to shell out a buck or two for some better equipment. Until then, you can either look at this 12 inches or suck on these 12 inches."

Bloody hell, what workplace is that that can't afford the $150 or so dollars for a new monitor?
Blankfist that is an excellent reposte! That is so much better than the expletive filled shoutyness I would have gone with, one of those days, and 9:30am on Monday is not the best time to be dealing with stuff anyway.
Your right Spoco, funny how I'm getting grief from the directors when they are the people who dispense the cash!
Anyway this is Ireland, a subsidiary of the IMF and ECB, at this point we are probably lucky to still have electricity
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
That is pretty small though - but if that's what everyone is using he needs to suck it up and quit his whinging.
In hindsight I'm glad I kept my lip zipped, still have a job for the moment at least. I watched Office Space last week and maybe thats affected my thinking, I had a milton moment
Fail workplace. He can go cry to daddy about shelling out some monitors for the team or fuck right off.
That's a shitty day for sure but it's good that you didn't freak. It's better to be employed and bitching about your work versus looking for a job and complaining about the place you were at. I don't mean that to blow smoke up ur ass but it's what carries me through the day sometimes.
Fuckin kids these days! Sounds like that guy has no idea what was to use a monochrome monitor or even a CRT.
