Job-related funness -- have you ever had a superior you fucking H-A-T-E-D?

a.) had a superior who irked the almightly livin' fuck out of you with everything he/she said?

b.) had a superior you were smarter than?

c.) had a superior you fantasized about killing?

d.) all of the above

So I work with this doctor. His name is irrelevant. It may as well be MUD for all I fucking care. He's seventy-five years old and basically dust in a labcoat. He can't hear. He can't see. It's obviously time for his wrinkled ass to retire, but NOOOO -- why retire when he can forever roam the pediatric wing and piss me the fuck off?

I am not kidding when I say I'm smarter than this guy. Or, perhaps, he really is smarter than he looks, because I fucking do HIS work along with my own. I have to do all of his calculations, because I can't read his cramped and miniscule handwriting (NOT a Snape reference :P). I have to constantly remind him what the generics to certain medications are. I even had to spell Methylphenidate for him once. His dosing is suspect. I mean, he may as well prescribe Skittles and Kool-Aid for all the good his treatment provides.

He tries to talk to me, and I try and keep my answers as cryptic as possible. Bottom line -- I hate this guy. The only time he ever sees me smiling when we work together is when I'm fantasizing about killing him -- with my bare hands.

Have a story to share?

my first job while I was in high school was at kmart. I was 17 at the time. one of my managers was a 16 year old who had 'worked her way up' from cashier. she was fucking obnoxious, but could read. the other manager, however, was just plain stupid. every week, we'd get a new circular with all the sale specials, etc. inevitably nothing was ever updated in the computer ('price check!') so we were constantly consulting the circular. one day this stupid manager came over and was like 'you can't give those people a discount for that size toothpaste' and I showed her the circular, which had a picture of the smaller size of toothpaste and a written caption that read 'any size' or something like that. her explanation - 'it doesn't match the picture'.

This is why K-Mart filed chapter 11.
