There's this new secratary here... I wrote a web application that lets her (or whomever else is in her position at another point in time) update a conference room schedule for our building on our intranet.
You fill out a form on a web page, press "save" and the schedule is updated on another page. It's about as difficult as using this forum.
She's always deleting things and then coming to me wondering where they went. Of course the app works fine when I use it, and she gets all annoyed that I'm maknig her look bad.
Apparently, she now thinks I'm the source of all information computer related. A few minutes ago she walks up to me with some form in her hand ( looks like an excel spreadsheet with blank spaces that has been printed out ). And says, "Do you do forms?" To which I reply, "No, not really."
She then says, "Well, how should I make thing form so that it's updated for 2005?" as if I either know or care. I say, "I guess you could do that in excel."
Then she starts asking me "What's that?" about a window that was open on my screen. It's a PDF unicode chart. She casks me what unicode is, like she'd even understand if I told her. I then accidentally switched to an open java sourec code file as I was trying to get a web browser to check out the web app that she was having trouble with again. As the java code comes up on the screen, she says, "What? I can't understand that jibber-jabber, I ain't no computer major!"
No sh!t, bitch! You're twice my age and make less money than me... and you're going to be a damned secratary for the rest of your life so just go learn Excel and leave me the hell alone.
Maybe if she was polite and not so damned condesceding, acting like it's MY fvcking fault she can't operate Excel or a web-browser, then I might not get so annoyed at her.
