“Gullible is not in the dictionary.”
As if the day was not full enough of moronic, hot air, brain dead Emails, one more passed into my inbox without so much as flinching under the idiot radar. Now my spambox contains more intelligent content than the inbox.
If you’re too busy to read my emails in full, fuck off and don’t waste my time. It’s not my job to redress the issue several times, while you read only the first paragraph of each Email on your Blackberry. I also don’t take kindly towards amending work order after work order, as you slowly realise that your budget is insufficient for what you originally asked for - just as I told you the case would be. You hired me to complete a job. Give me the tools required, and stay out of my damn way so I can complete it.
The audio books you’re “learning from” and are “inspiring you” are killing your remaining braincells along with any semblance of an attention span which you might still posses - my best explanation as to why you can’t get past the first of two paragraphs of an Email. Lay off the Starbucks, put down the Blackberry, loosen the tie, and for once listen to those around you.
Your inability to plug-in into reality makes you and me look like idiots at times we both need to look credible, professional, and intelligent. Don’t be stupid only so you can apologise later. Listen to what I said. Read what I wrote. And it’ll all come together.

A most excellent and lucid rant. Sort of along the lines of what I recently suggested you say directly to the offending clients… ;)
C’mon, people! Have a little faith in the Polish kid and indeed it will “all come together.” :)

Actually, on a related note, wouldn’t it be wonderful if email services came equipped not only with a spam filter, but an idiocy filter as well? Of course the definition of what should be considered to be idiotic would differ… but I’m sure there is some general consensus to be found.
On the other hand, it would likely mean some very empty inboxes around the world…

“You won’t like me when I’m angry!”. At this point slawek turns green, rips off his shirt and proceeds to go on a rampage through the city!

Well, if just one enjoys the rant, then maybe the day’s events came to something positive at last.
The title of entry is that of a YouTube video which prompted the maker into a 10 minute follow-up rant - in a quiet, exasperated voice that gives the sense someone is sleeping in the room - because few got the original…

And no Martin, there was no anger :) (not at the time of writing anyway) - only exasperation, frustration, and amazement at the general dysfunction of the general population, and in this case the business sector specifically.
