Dear Salesmen:
Since you make more money than I ever will... please take the time to format your emails and content so I can at least understand it.
I realize it's hard work lying to people all day long and that it may be tough on you to sit down and read through and make sure your data and request makes sense before you send it... but I truly believe I'm not asking too much... last time I checked I was hired to design and produce... if I wanted to decipher bullshit all day long... I'd of gotten a job with the C.I.A...
... of course you have your salesman 'stand-by solution' for such occasions:
Let's have a meeting.
FUCK YOU AND YOUR MEETINGS... GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER BEFORE YOU SEND IT... I'M NOT INTERESTED IN MEETING 3 TIMES A DAY SO YOU CAN VERBALLY CONFUSE ME TOO... just so you can leave at 5pm to go get drunk again while I'm stuck here 'till 9pm (because I only got to finally WORK on your shit after 4 hours of figuring out what you wanted).
Pony

This was a shitty time for me to attempt this - this is being called 'the worst winter in 60 years' in Chicago... not to mention all my pants & shoes have permanent salt stains on them...
... can't tell you how many times I've had a car drive by me and cover me in slush...
... then there's that whole 'parallel parking in snowbanks' thing... yeah - that's not working out for me... fuck I can barely parallel park let alone in a fucking snowbank...
:)
- that's why i invested in a pack of wild sled dogs. they've only eaten three people so far on the way in to work.kona
- i got my car stuck a week ago parallel parking in a snowbank in front of my house. While i was digging, a snow plow went by and put all dirty snow all over me. (I didn't see it coming!)mrseaves
- ...by and covered me. (didn't see it)mrseaves
