I got an assignment from my boss to write a report for him. I wrote mostly the whole thing except for the conclusion. He gave me what I should type up for him and fill in the blanks (calculations and data only I have). I was able to read most of it, but some of it I misread. When I gave it to him, he was like "Omg man, did you read it?". I badly wanted to say, "No, I had to use rational thinking and common sense to be able and decrypt your symbols". Not only that, he changed a lot of what he wanted me to write and wanted me to go back and change them. I'm not complaining just because his writing sucks, but because he doesn't realize it! Hence, "Omg man, did you read it?".

UPDATE: So he got frustrated and told me he would write the conclusion himself. When he was critiquing what I wrote I was so frustrated I gave him the meanest look ever. He then goes and asks me if I was frustrated. I responded by just standing there looking directly at him. He told me that he was frustrated and wanted me to e-mail him the document so that he could write it. That SOB kept changing stuff he previously told me to write and then goes back on it. I point it out that he TOLD me to use certain words to describe certain things and he goes, "Yeah but, man, I'm not even sure, just e-mail this to me. It'll be easier that way."
My reports, lab reports and research projects have always been tip top in detail and grammar. The rest of the goddamn report was good. Then I have him, someone that doesn't know how to use Word or what the Windows key does, who doesn't know the difference between past and present tenses, can't write, and can't spell the word "peak" get frustrated by my writing abilities. Goddamn, today is just one of those work days that makes you grumpy for the rest of the day.
