Am I an a$$hole? - Page 5

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!

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

Is this a rhetorical question?

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

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?

yunghungwell · 02-11-2005, 08:47 AM

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.

cadmonkey · 02-11-2005, 08:49 AM

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.

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.
