• I can't even make this stuff up

  Sometimes, people think that I exaggerate when I talk about my boss' ridiculousness.  But I swear to you with every fibre of my being, there is zero embellishment in my stories.  I give an unadulterated account of the unbiased truth.  I only pass judgement or give commentary after the truth has been laid out.

  And so, I give you this morning's ridiculousness.

  He will be out of the office until the end of next week.  Today, he's boarding an airplane for a conference.  From the airport, I get the following string of IM-like emails.

  9:33 am Pointy-Haired Boss (PHB): Can u see if there are speaking notes for section A? If so, please print them and give them to the CFO.  You may wish to edit before giving him.  If there aren't any notes, ask Big C [the consultant] to draft some. The consultant was cc'd.

  9:35 am Big C: There are notes, but I'd like to suggest a few edits, if that's ok. What's the best way to get them to you, cokeaddict?

  So before I could even reply, my boss sends:

  9:37 am PHB: cokeaddict will adivse.

  Well, NO SHIT I would advise. Did he think I wasn't going to answer a question that she posed directly to me?

  This may seem like a very small thing to rant about, but bear in my, EVERY MINUTE OF MY WORK DAY is as intellectually stunted as this.

  EVERY

  SINGLE

  MINUTE
