Thanks for the assistance

By CorpDrone - 03/11/2009 21:51 - United States

Today, I came in to work and found the conference room whiteboards completely clean. My assistant had wiped all the white boards where I'd spent 10 hours writing the schedule for the next three months. I was going to meet with all the supervisors to finalize that schedule today. FML

You should have taped a piece of paper to the board to remind people not to erase it. That really sucks =/

You wouldn't use Excel for a schedule, you'd use Microsoft Project. Of course, MS Project makes a lot of people commit suicide.

You'd be surprised at how large a percentage of the world prefers more traditional methods.

Many businesspersons use their phone for notes, that's all I'm saying. Not having time to type all that crap into an Excel sheet? That's understandable. But everyone has a phone...that can take pictures. And, why would I want them to take a picture of a blank board #14? That doesn't make sense.

Not everyone has a phone that takes pictures, actually. Try to remember that there are people in the world who aren't exactly like you.

#61 (comment: Not everyone has a phone that takes pictures, actually. Try to remember that there are people in the world who aren't exactly like you.) LOL I don't think everyone is exactly like me. That would suck monkey balls. And, I realize that not everyone has a cell phone but I'm willing to take a chance and say that this businessperson probably does. I mean, everyone on the via bus has a cell phone. Even if they didn't have a cell phone, common sense MAY help. Stop taking this so seriously. FYL.

Sometimes, it's hard to tell when people are joking or being serious on here.

a simple ";-)" would clarify someone joking.

Sarcasm and common sense would clarify that someone is joking. I know that there are soooooo many dumbass people out there, but do you really expect someone to this joke seriously?

Going against the crowd, I'm gonna say YDI. You can't expect people to be mind readers. If something very important can be very easily erased by someone, leave a note not to erase it.

I have to agree. Poor assistant had no idea, a simple "do not erase" would have helped.

No no no OP. I think you have it wrong. your assistant is not a douche. He obviously carefully read your board and saw all of you horrible punctuation errors and erased it ALL so that you wouldn't be embarrased in front of all your corperate buddies. Thank him sometime.

NEWS FLASH: assistants are not mind readers

oh shoot! I did not know that. Thank you so much kind ass for your news flash :3. #71 said it first, how in the hell do you spend 10 hrs writing something on a whiteboard? How long is your workday that you can spend so long on that? Are you assistant #1 and assistant #2 decided to screw you over? It might be possible this was meant to be one of those whiteboard that outlines procedure for months to come and is used only for that purpose. You still have one dumbass assistant and you still deserved it for not pointing it out.
