Just got back from the accounting and I.T. deparments, wanted to see what happened. Why the I.T. department? You'll see. Apparently the guy was in his mid 50's and was a bit of a weirdo, I can't help but think Milton.
So anyway he got pissed yesterday afternoon because his monitor went bad and I.T. took him a new one. Well this new one was silver and didn't match his black PC, keyboard, mouse, etc... like his old black one did. He started throwing a fit at the tech guy saying he wanted a black monitor, guy tried to explain to him that every monitor they have purchased in the last year has been silver. Wasn't good enough for this guy, Ted is his name by the way, so he continued to throw a fit about it. Went to his manager and was complaining about it and his manager told him that was just the way it was going to be. Guy went back to his cubicle and seemed to give it a rest. Guess he stewed on it or something because he sent out the email last night about 5:15 and left. End of story right?
Not so fast sparky. Before good ol Ted left he destroyed the monitor. Put a fist through it from what the people in I.T. told me. So now they are going to press charges against Ted the wise. I'm guessing the police will be paying him a visit today.
If I hear more I'll keep everyone posted. God how I love working in this soap opera. Between angry fat women destroying vending machines and now Ted going apesh1t on a monitor the fun never ends around here.
