Am I an a$$hole? - Page 2

cadmonkey · 02-10-2005, 02:58 PM

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!

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.

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

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.
