boss yeah I’m gonna send ya a couple servers to configure. me: aight.
boss: I need them done by tomorrow
me: doable, but you’re building an 8tb stripe, that alone is gonna take about five hours jsyk.
boss: also I have just realised you go on leave next week so I want everything possible done right now. Even things that can wait. Even things that aren’t anywhere near being implemented.
boss: I am going to send you every email under the conceivable fucking sun and demand you answer them instead of building my servers.
boss: I’m also gonna let a client scream at you about something I did
boss: and I’m gonna ask you if you’ve done something that I explicitly said I’d do three weeks ago
boss: and then I’m gonna send you another couple servers.
boss: I want these ready to ship to client tomorrow.
