Am I an a$$hole?
 

So one of my bosses is sitting in my 4 person cube right now. He feels his cushy desk isn't big enough for him so he has moved some of his stuff into the open space next to me to go through some contract drawings we just got back from one of our clients. I have a Eminem, Ice Cube, Snoop, Dr. Dre mix going. the other two guys I sit with have no problem with me playing it with no head phones on. My office manager told me I am the boss of my cube, so I throw my weight around a little bit...........read that I as try and be a pr*ck because I can.

Any way, he has the balls to turn around to me and say "Matt, really, that music has to go."

Me: "What?"

Him: "I don't listen to any form of music that starts with an "R". Rap, Reggea, Rock..........

Me: "You want me to turn it off?"

Him: "Yes, its distracting."

Me: "No, YOUR IN MY CUBE NOW!!!!!!!! It looks pretty quiet over at your empty desk."

At that exact point, NWA's 'fuck the police" came on. I shot him a smirt and a wink. "Until my cell mates start to complain about it, it stays on."


I really hope he wasn't expecting to come over here and flex his muscles and not have be flex back!

If you have to ask then the answer is YES. :)

I'm coming
Straight Out of Compton

bitch..

ROFL

Can't blame him though....that sh*t you listen to is annoying. :p

I love that though....I don't listen to any form of music that starts it the letter "R"

I couldn't concentrate with that on either......

He's going to be taking your stapler an moving you to the basement to squash roaches at any tim........hey, ther there there really ithn't room for these boxeth here.

Wow. You are the baddest mofo in your cubicle....:rolleyes:

It big. Like 20'x20'. you never even notice until dickheads tell you to turn the radio off.

i find that starting a pissing match with one's boss isn't usually a good thing.


good luck wit' dat, homey :thumb:

Was this a deleted scene from "Office Space"?

Being here makes me feel like I am in a jai cell. "You either kick someones ass the first day, or become someone's bitch"

Are you having dreams yet, where he's riding your old lady while drinking coffee and saying "Peeter, finish those TPS reports........ahh yeah...thaaats great....yeah........"?

He's totally NEG Repping you on your next review.

He just started here like 6 months ago. He's a dope.

Yup, here it is....

You'd be fire. No employee would talk to me that way. You should be thankful that you have the boss that you do.

Yes. You really didn't need such a long post about what happened at work or whatever to get this answer, though.... :LOL: :p

You smoke dope at the office? Yea man, I want a job....

He already did, that's why I hate the guy. he gave me my yearly review while he has only been here 6 months. How does that work?

gee, i was sure this was gonna be a thread by/about sdchiefsfan...

I think its more teh fact that I am the top at my possision and it would take two people to do as much as I do.

He's probably putting a goober in your chowder as you type.


I've been in a supervisory position of cadmonkeys who have been at a company longer than I have. It doesn't take long to figure things out about who does what, and how well.

He may very well be a douche....its your pills in the sack you're shaking at him.

You should quit and go to work for the competition....and take your clients with you...............SCREW THE MAN!!!!!

You should get really drunk and update your resume.

Do what, copyedit?

I'm not taking any advice from a guy who has threatened to quit his job twice in the past two weeks! :harumph:

Two people to drink as much alcohol on lunch break, perhaps.

It sounds like you're ripe for a firing. It's no big deal. I've been in your shoes. You'll be humbled and move on with your life.

I like the first part of that :thumb:

You don't have to be a jerk about it ROFL

:LOL: Nice. I was gonna post something like that.

Well, at least I'm not your boss.

fuck 'em, I hope they fire my ass. I'll move my ass to sunny SoCal.

Sounds like you've already made up your mind. Perhaps you should just go ahead and quit now.

You better buy a hat.

Cap his ass.

i agree, go postal .... and post some pics!! :p

the same bullshit happens everywhere, why have it come from someone new?

I was told that I could listen at a reasonable volume.

I seem to recall you posting about getting drunk and boozing on the job a while back.......It can't be that bad if they allow it.

I don't really like it that my boss blasts Henry the 8th, type music, and turn it down when he leaves.

Now.......get back to studying that new Tool pack, we're tired of your drawings looking like they were done with a speak-n-spell in a rickshaw on a cobblestone road. I'm expecting the edits on that initech job by 5, so get To it!

I wouldn't exacly say they "allow" it to happen. They just turn their heads.

And those tool bars just gave me a headache.

It doesn't matter. You'd still be gone. Sorry dude. My point is that you should be thankful that you have a boss that is willing to accept your crap.

Asshole? Eh. :shrug: But dude, that music. NWA? **** the Police? That was old in ’90 when I used to blast it in the barracks in Germany. There’s plenty of newer offensive music out, no reason to reach THAT far back into the archives.

Yeah, you are going to have to fill this out.

Didn't you get the memo on that?

I hope he makes you take that fridge out from under your desk.

Somebody just shot to the top of the list the next time, boss's boss says, "we need to trim the payroll."

Hope you enjoy your music. ;)

I used to sit by the window and I could see the squirrels and they were merry.

You are such a prick!! ROFL

I find you to be more of an asswad.

Hey buddy, isn't funny the type of posters that are drawn to such threads? Almost like moths to that bright light. :p

Of course..... ROFL

ROFL

They can use a few more assholes. :p

"They said I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume..."

If I was your boss, and you were playing that rap shit loud enough for me to hear and then refused to turn it off when I asked, you'd be in the emergency room about now getting your CD player surgically removed from your ass.

Then you'd be fired.

But that's just me. :evil:

Ouch.


He had to feel that.

I thought assnozzle defined him pretty well.

Yeah, you're an a$$hole, but look at it this way...a lot of people are.

:rolleyes:

No shit, asshole.

Sincerely, Asshole

No, but you are a neo-nazi skinhead motherfucker.

You forgot, "deranged."

Straight outta the Cubicle,
Crazy mutha fugga name CadMonkey

The only thing I find offensive out of this whole thing is your taste in music.

Is this a rhetorical question? :hmmm:

You are from Boston. Isn't it a requirement of residency?

:shake: NO f-ing way!!!!!!

That's where I keep my lunch ROFL

Pretty much. Most of us are.

I work in a cubicle and it sounds like cadmonkey and I do the same thing. All I know is if I played that crap around here, and had an attitude about it, I'd be fired instantly. My boss likes music but can't stand anything loud. He freaked out on me last January when I was listening online to the Greg Robinson "I quit tearfest". I didn't think it was that loud but he did. Sometimes you have to do what the boss wants even if he's an assclown.

Yes, but isn't it Masshole? That's what I was told when I was there.

Hey cadmonkey,

Is this what it was like?

Here is a suggestion that I thought of. Listen to the music really loud on some headphones so that you can't hear anybody talking to you. Then when your boss taps you one the shoulder to get your attention, spin around really quickly in your chair and point a Glock at him. That would probably get his attention.

I need to clear something up. It isn't like I had the sh*t pumping and the whole office could hear it. I have just loud enough for me and the two other people in my cube to hear.

My Dept. head, not really my boss all though he thinks he is, came in to area. I run my area as a tight ship and get things done. He came in and because he didn't like "music that starts with R" wanted me to turn it off.

I'm not some low level shlub who is on the chopping block. I am in Managment training, which means they are keeping me around. This guy was just trying to pull rank, throw his weight around, and just be a dick about being boss.

I'm a bigger dick and know how to use it.

Oh, I get it....I've seen that Nextel commercial--you work for Nextel; with the three dudes jammin' to "Push It".....are you the Asian guy, the tubby white guy, or of the black dude?

I think I'm the tubby dude in the middle, what is he rubbing his chest as his dance? Ya, that's me.

I don't listen to rap music........But I arrived at work this morning, wanting to have a Chiefsplanet Rap battow with cadmonkey.

Now, get back to it and get the edits done on the Jetson prints.
