so, im on a roll.
i cussed out another co-worker out yesterday.
i worked from home, but called the coworker to get some more clarity on a request.
halfway through the conversation i let it fly.
the beginning:
friday @ 1:30 pm i got this email: -------- Hi Kwesi, I was thinking we could add banner images to the Adobe Connect platform to give it the same look of the marketing pieces we’ve sent out. Here are specs from Adobe Connect around logo & banners. Let me know your thoughts… --------
right? right
monday @ 11:00 am i got this followup, but she CC my lil supervisor.
-------- Hi Kwesi, Can you give me an update on the banners? We need to have these in order to proceed with setting up the registration. --------
so im a little on edge about a lot, but for whatever reason, i couldn't understand for the life of me why this co worker would copy a supervisor, and press me out about a request before 24hrs. i thought we was cool?!
essentially, this launched into a whole thing between the two of us cause i thought she was whack for this pair of emails.
but the conversation started off about how weak her request was (i aint thnk she aint gave me enough details), and escalated from there.
i called her wack, and 'thats some bullshit' and whole lot of other mean sounding shit.
never insulting, just real, i don't know, agressive?
ANYWAY.
i brung her some flowers this morning to apologize, and i can tell that she had a rough night.
her and i are pretty close so she was hurt.
she explained that she told her boyfriend about the whole incident, and that made perfect sense.
but what i immediately remembered is the time when a bamma ACTUALLY did come up to the office to confront me.
could you imagine?!
this was about 7 yrs ago, at another job - i was a huge practical joker.
i thought it was a good idea to print out a termination letter (on company letter head) and leave it on a friends desk at lunch.
she got back from lunch, read the letter - immediately freaked out then called her boyfriend (that's something i didn't anticipate her doing)
but it makes sense, she thought she was fired - of course she would call him.
so she comes around and tells her friends, and we're all just cracking up cause we know it's a joke.
bla bla bla, she gotta call the nigga back to tell him 'sike nah' and now he is PISSED.
...
so the end of the day rolls around and the nigga is in the lobby talking to me like 'yall niggas play too much!'
im like 'what the fuck, dog - this my job! i could do what i want. that shit was funny!'
he like 'nah dog, yall got to chill'
then im like 'dog!, how you coming in here telling me how to do my job?? do i go to the DJ booth and tell you what records to spin??'
(yes, he was a DJ)
the whole lobby erupted in laughter. the nigga got embarrassed walked to the trunk of his car like he was gonna get some heat.
we in bethesda and im just like 'whaaaaat'??'
so im still going and laughing the whole time cause i just hit a homerun.
his lady convince him to chill get back in the car.
they drive off.
...
i invited this newly mad nigga to a conversation about how i made his lady feel yesterday.
this should be good.
have you ever showed up at your lady's office in her honor?
