Rewind back to three weeks ago, a co-worker of mine (an ME) asks me (an EE) to setup some simple wiring configurations for him even though I gave him the wiring diagram complete with coloring codes and everything. He asks me if I could wire/solder everything together because he's "got his hands full." I just do it because I wasn't busy with anything else and I felt like helping the guy out (first mistake, I know). So I finish this crap for him and I walk up to his desk and see he's browsing for car parts. Busy my ass, but I just shrug it off this time and say to myself "fu*k this guy I'm not sticking my neck out for him next time." So fast forward to today and said co-worker asks me to help him out setting up some measurements for his project. So I give him a hand setting up all his instrumentation and wiring since it did require some amount of EE knowledge to do so, and I even gave him advice on how he should perform his tests. Anyways, after everything's set up for him he has the nerve to ask me to do the testing for him. Now this involves taking simple voltage readings off the multimeter and logging the results into an excel sheet, basically something a monkey could do and would be a big waste of my time. So I tell him that I really have other things to do and it isn't my responsibility to finish his project. So he runs off after saying "Fine." and I find out hours later that he told his department's boss what happened. I eventually find out about this in the weekly meeting that all the engineers have when this said boss says to everyone "EE and ME guys need to work together." No names were mentioned in any incident but still, it was complete BS in my mind as I did my part to help the ME guy get started but I'm not going to finish his project for him. Luckily my boss was on my side the whole time so that's all that really matters in the end, but it still pissed me off to no end that this guy went crying to his boss. :| End rant :beer:
