Sep. 25th, 2003 03:41 pmboss just asked me for the fifth time whether i'd finished something i'm waiting on software from him to do.
It wouldn't be so bad except he just asked me twice, IN A ROW. He asked, "finish that yet?" and I said, "waiting on the software." He said "Oh, I'll have to look into that." He then went and talked to a co-worker about something unrelated for a minute and a half. Then he came back and peered intently at my computer. "What's cooking?" he asked. "Finish that yet?"
"The software," I said. "What about it?" he asked. "I'm waiting on it." "Oh," he said, as though I'd never said it before. "You need it?" "Yes," I said. "I can't work on that project until I get it. I'm working on something else." I showed him what I was working on.
"Oh," he said, disappointed, and walked away.
It's not even weird anymore, it's just surreal.
