You know, I had thought that out of the respect of my last Program Manager that I could just leave my last job without having to deal with stupidity. Lo and behold, it finds me, instead.
An actual conversation with one of the people from my last job after I left:
designgrrl67
(1:39:28 PM) : We didn’t get to say goodbyemkinguillo
(3:46:27 PM) : Considering the way that both you and Pete both behave and the way I was treated, it is no skin off my teeth. I said my good-byes to the people who would appreciate it rather than think that it was some fake sense of obligation.designgrrl67
(3:49:16 PM) : Once again, we’ve already discussed the “whys”… It’s YOU who poses.mkinguillo
(3:50:26 PM) : Yes, that is ‘why’ the temps are annoyed with you and feel like they can’t even walk into your office without feeling like they’re bothering you.mkinguillo
(3:50:46 PM) : That is why the people on contract are amazed at the turn around in your attitudesmkinguillo
(3:50:52 PM) : Yep. It sure is me.mkinguillo
(3:50:54 PM) : All me.designgrrl67
(3:51:50 PM) : PELICAN.mkinguillo
(3:51:53 PM) : I got to hear it from both sides of the hall.mkinguillo
(3:52:06 PM) : all the way from sysadmins down to app developersdesigngrrl67
(3:52:11 PM) : PELICAN.designgrrl67
(3:52:24 PM) : PELICANmkinguillo
(3:52:23 PM) : so go right ahead and say it is all me.mkinguillo
(3:52:33 PM) : You should probably do yourself a favor and block medesigngrrl67
(3:52:46 PM) : PELICANdesigngrrl67
(3:53:12 PM) : That’s what we heard up and down the hall.mkinguillo
(3:53:16 PM) : I’m no longer obligated by LM to be nice to youdesigngrrl67
(3:53:29 PM) : What’s your point?mkinguillo
(3:53:29 PM) : No, what everyone heard down the hall was your cackling laughtermkinguillo
(3:53:34 PM) : because it is so louddesigngrrl67
(3:53:54 PM) : Brenda loves it. That’s why they keep me around.mkinguillo
(3:53:57 PM) : and make people wonder if you have enough work to keep you busydesigngrrl67
(3:54:08 PM) : Oh yeah they gave me a big fat raise.mkinguillo
(3:54:17 PM) : big whoopdesigngrrl67
(3:54:27 PM) : And a big laptop.mkinguillo
(3:54:30 PM) : oh, yay.designgrrl67
(3:54:39 PM) : Of course, I dont’ get HR visits either.mkinguillo
(3:54:40 PM) : that’s what a straight html coder should get.mkinguillo
(3:55:00 PM) : Of course not, especially since I asked for itdesigngrrl67
(3:55:13 PM) : Then why take a job you can’t even perform well in?mkinguillo
(3:55:13 PM) : again, speaking about something you know absolutely nothing aboutdesigngrrl67
(3:55:33 PM) : I know all about it. We go way back. PELICANmkinguillo
(3:55:37 PM) : Uh, huhdesigngrrl67
(3:56:01 PM) : I’m flattered that you continue to write.mkinguillo
(3:56:23 PM) : No, I’m amazed at your imcompetence ‘boo hoo! we can’t do that! we’re not programmers!’mkinguillo
(3:56:57 PM) : way to go. an html coder.designgrrl67
(3:57:05 PM) : You couldn’t even write CSSmkinguillo
(3:57:07 PM) : uh huhdesigngrrl67
(3:57:30 PM) : If I were a programmer, I’d be working for Gerry. That’s why they separate us.mkinguillo
(3:57:30 PM) : At least Pete has a fighting chance if he ever decides to leave the contractdesigngrrl67
(3:57:51 PM) : You know nothing about me.mkinguillo
(3:58:09 PM) : Yeah, you’ve never even tried to log onto the servers and discover what goes on or how it worksdesigngrrl67
(3:58:25 PM) : Not my specialty.designgrrl67
(3:58:41 PM) : I’m not technical.mkinguillo
(3:58:52 PM) : That’s part of your incompetence. Every web designer should at least know how to log into their servers via sshdesigngrrl67
(3:59:03 PM) : And I don’t pretend to be something I’m not.mkinguillo
(3:59:10 PM) : And they should know the intricacies of their operating systemsdesigngrrl67
(3:59:15 PM) : You should work on getting things write from the ground up.mkinguillo
(3:59:17 PM) : and paths to their workdesigngrrl67
(3:59:35 PM) : If you are so smart, why were you pushed out the door?mkinguillo
(3:59:47 PM) : I wasn’t pushed out the doormkinguillo
(3:59:55 PM) : again, talking about something you know nothing about.designgrrl67
(3:59:59 PM) : Yes you were.mkinguillo
(4:00:02 PM) : Uh, no you weren’tdesigngrrl67
(4:00:17 PM) : Talking about yourself in the 3rd person ?mkinguillo
(4:00:43 PM) : I hated working with you and Pete, I saw no point in staying and my wife decided that she couldn’t do her job properly telecommutingdesigngrrl67
(4:00:57 PM) : I understand that.designgrrl67
(4:01:26 PM) : You sure turned ugly on me pretty easily. I’m sorry but it was no fun redoing your work.mkinguillo
(4:01:44 PM) : Uh huh.designgrrl67
(4:01:56 PM) : PELICANmkinguillo
(4:01:59 PM) : And why did you have to redo it? Because of the same problems I hear from the tempsmkinguillo
(4:02:05 PM) : you guys barely explain anythingdesigngrrl67
(4:02:13 PM) : Because your code doesn’t validate.mkinguillo
(4:02:13 PM) : and they pretty much have to grasp arounddesigngrrl67
(4:02:29 PM) : No one believes you.mkinguillo
(4:02:35 PM) : Yeah, live in your little worlddesigngrrl67
(4:02:40 PM) : PELICANmkinguillo
(4:02:44 PM) : No one has to believe memkinguillo

(4:04:10 PM) : so, like you saidmkinguillo
(4:04:14 PM) : good luck to you
I’m glad I left.
That was just sad. Especially after only a few days after you lost your father AND you were trying to leave your job quietly.
First, I’d like to say I’m sorry about your loss. I heard about it from Liz. Second, I’d like to say that person just got pwned. It is a sad state of affairs when someone in an IT department says “I’m not technical”. Why are you there, then? Third, why do people do this kind of thing when it provides a written record?
Stupid. Just plain stupid.
Michael, you know you shouldn’t fight with the mentally challenged. I agree with Ashleigh on two fronts – pwnage and stupid.
wtf is ‘PELICAN’? Someone sounds really stupid.
G’head. Tell them. I dare ya. LOL
Wait. This person only does html coding? And nothing else?? And she’s trying to save face by saying she got a fat raise? MORON. It seems like someone has a bloated sense of importance and that they need to justify their existence.
Maybe PELICAN means ‘I’m a one trick pony who is over paid and screwed if I ever lose my job so save me a job in retail’
Dude, she doesn’t know how big of a pay increase you’re getting does she?
I have no idea what it means. It just sounds…lame. Like Turrets Syndrome or something.
@Darren, if she wants to know how much I make I’m sure she can talk to her friends that she goes ‘way back’ with since I told her.
I’m glad Ang didn’t find out!
As far as “her”, I was talking about a “him”. You crack me up! This is great!
This is the same dumb cunt who lied to your face more than once, right? I would just label her insignificant and move on. It doesn’t sound like she has much of a professional career if all she does is code html. I’m sure she even calls it “html programming”. I no longer even hire people who don’t have and can’t demonstrate that they know even rudimentary javascript.
Especially since this stupid whore has the audacity to act like such a stupid fuck after your father died. That’s what pisses me off.
Yes, you’re a stupid no-class fuck who deserves to be spoken to in this manner. Show some respect. Better yet, take his advice from the title of his post and just shut up.
Let’s see – how about after one of your parents passes or a loved one passes some one acts like a stupid whore to you?
So lady-like! I’m impressed. Why didn’t you tell him you knew he got deuced?
Wow!
I am absolutely amazed that you are even acknowledging this person.
She wreaks of Junior High School and reminds me the “character is EVERYTHING.”
Wow.
Its people like that that make me want to give up all material possessions and live in a hippy commune.
I pray to god I never have to work for anyone that completely stupid.
Im convinced that there are 2 sort of people in the working world. The people who deserve to be there, and the people that slept their way to the top, leaving the rest of us to wonder what exactly it is they do there.
Guess which category this bitch falls into?
Let me offer up a third category that I see time and time again, and really seems to be at work here: People who get a job with limited skills simply because they “know” someone and then they cover their incompetence via the buddy system until someone comes along who can actually see through the smokescreen.
“I’m not a technical person..” but they do code HTML.
That’s like saying “I’m not an irritable person, I just act like one.”
I knew I hated her when I saw her screenname.
ooo…old LM gossip. But I can’t figure out who designgrrl67 is! I hate blind items. I need names!!!
*waves* to Puzzle and Az.
LM at that contract is good at turning workers against each other. Tried and true labor management technique. You both been played by professionals. Well Kelly – I don’t know who you are. Maybe I do.
Hi to Toby and Farley. And wife and the other M.
