I only seem nice... *g*

Heh. Maybe I should be more careful of how I come across.

One of the team leaders (he doesn't lead my team because I work directly under two partners, so maybe I should point that out) mentioned that... okay, to make a long and boring story short, he got me to make a call, type up a letter and spend twenty minutes photocopying, to make an alteration for a client. Mind you, this alteration only helps the client if the Trust has a Tax File Number.

My reaction when I asked him about it? "If it doesn't have a tax file number, you suck, N!"

Okay, it was said in a joking tone of voice, and I know N understood it, but it caused one of the other staff members to hightail it out of his office, looking amused and a little concerned.

Heh. Okay, I'm still suffering a lack of politeness from yesterday's sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation and getting drunk. They both make me friendly, and a bit rude.

Heh heh, don't you just love shocking the work-a-day muggles. When I had that hated printing factory job I shocked a group of people when I in jest told a manager that we don't see him doing any work... but he really deserved that, because he had just made his own little jest about us not working. Wanker!

Yeah, if the people you do it to know it's in jest, then fair enough.

I just didn't think about how... well, almost-aggressive it sounded, until the coworker fled.

(And, yes, all bosses who comment about staff members lack of work are gits.)
