Me as a high end corporate assistant.The following is a short story tale of me working as a high end assistant to a corporate board member. To fufill some people's assumptions, this is what they presume I will act like :
Corporate Board Member : xttwo, I need you to finish up and come into the board room and make the presentation. xttwo : When it's ready, I'm almost done. CBM : No, you don't understand, I mean I need you in here right now xttwo, we're all waiting. xttwo : I said, when it's ready. CBM walks away in disbelief and terminal anger. xttwo's co-worker turns to him and says : You know, I don't think you helped the situation or yourself. xttwo : We'll definitely find out won't we? _______________________________________________
Does that just about sum it up?
Thus the reason you are not a high-end corporate assistant. Ok, now let me show you how a professional would have handled that situation:
Corporate Board Member : xttwo, I need you to finish up and come into the board room and make the presentation. xttwo : I'm almost finished. Would it be possible to put it off for a few minutes or would you prefer I add the ending slide and you (or I or whomever is giving presentation) speak to the rest? CBM : You know...why don't you put the end slide on and we will ad-lib it. xttwo : No problem! I can add the other slides later and we can send them out as handouts or references to those who were at the meeting. CBM walks away forever grateful that he has this assistant xttwo's co-worker turns to him and says : You know, that was pretty good. Me? I would have told him i'll be there when I am good and ready. xttwo : [chuckles] no you wouldn't. You know that would get you fired.
Oh my god, you've turned me into a gay character. Shame on you.
I asked the question, if the short story sums up people's assumptions. The answer you should be saying is yes it does. ( Leave the excess commentary by the wayside if you please. )
Actually, brainstorm, you didn't ask us, you stated that you assume that is what we would presume the situation would be. We were simply clarifying the fact that you are freaking nuts.
As to whether or not I turned you into a gay man, question...are you so insecure in your own sexuality that the idea frightens you? I didn't turn you into a gay man, you freaking moron. I showed what an intelligent exchange in the workplace would look like. Sorry...I should have realized that you wouldn't recognize that scenario.
I don't have to recognize the scenario. I'm sure it's been played out on an episode of Will and Grace at one time or another. If Eric McCormack ( Will Truman ) were here I'm sure he'd agree with you.
Well, while the character Will Truman was gay, it seems that you are implying that Mr. McCormack is as well... NEWS FLASH...Married w/kids.
Ok, back to the initial statement..YOU NEVER ASKED A QUESTION
And with this I say... I am so very done with you. You are a true example of what idiocy is when personified.
The last sentence of my initial post ends with a question mark ( ? ). If I'm not mistaken, grade school teachers teach children that is, what is called a question. Does this just about sum it up? When a person reads that message from beginning to end, presumably they are to decide if my parody is accurate according to their mis-concieved perceptions of me or not. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Care to rethink your position ? ( asked rhetorically to a very ignorant individual ) Our perceptions of you, xttwo, are quite accurate. You're still acting like a child and cannot take responsibility for your own actions and their consequences. | |
