Homework?

I brought some work home to do tonight. I need to crunch some numbers for this proposal due tomorrow. I am not going to do it. I checked the "homework gene" when i shook the hand of El Presidente at my skool.

today, "amazon", who was the new tall dude, who i want to call Frat from now on, really almost made me burst in "what the FUCK?!'s " This morning, he comes into my cubicle, and dropped a pile of chick scratch on some papers. He grunted to me "he, can you look at my list and cross off whoever you are already calling on"

now, lemme give you a little frame of reference. At TV station, there is a communal hard drive where we have a "master list." This is the Torah of the sales office. You simply send your new clients you have "dibs" on to Jefita and she regulates, and updates the master list. Now, when you see some hot new lead, you simply cross check everyones list to see if they have taken dibs on it, and if not, you shoot a cute little email to everyone and say "hey shitbirds, I am now calling on [insert dead end lead here]."

Simple really.

Now, when i received the chicken scratch papers with what appeared to be a third graders handwriting on it, with the orders to basically do all the work Frat has to do for him, i was a bit perturbed. Now, to you guys, this may seem inconsequential. Maybe it is. But maybe it was the way he went about asking me to do this. It was not in a kind way. I replied to him "Frat, what you can do is make your own list in Excel, and cross check it with everyone else's, super easy."

Frat replies "Will, come on man. It will be way easier for me if you guys just all go through and cross off your clients so i dont have to." [Insert record scratch here]

Now, i did eventually cross off this shit i have. I gave it back to him in a cordial manner. You readers may see me as not giving this homeslice a chance from the get go, and mama brought up he was rather self conscious, but if you heard the way he spoke to clients, and the way he grunted these orders to me, you too, would think he was a through and through tool box.
