Insert virtual foot into virtual mouth.

You know what I hate? When Bossman calls and leaves a somewhat stern message on your voicemail that states simply this:

As soon as you get to your desk, call me on my cell phone.

Especially when the only reason Bossman ever needs to talk to me is whenever he comes across an invoice that freaks him out and he tells you that there's no way he is going to be able to pay that bill (Um, you do you know your company owns eleven stores, right? And that I am supposed to order enough sheet music to stock all eleven stores, plus our warehouse? Ok, just checking...).

But most especially when you got an email from one of those other aforementioned stores inquiring about a piece of information on the company's website that is so severely outdated, that it was a subject brought up at one of the very first meetings you attended over A YEAR AGO and still hasn't been attended to. So you emailed the store back and send a somewhat catty, tongue-in-cheek reply to the effect of:

This is why Bossman REALLY needs to finally hire somebody to fix that damn website. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been updated since 2003!

And then this store does the most idiotic thing they can possibly do and, instead of mentioning it to Bossman, proceeds to FORWARD MY EMAIL TO HIM!!!! Auuuuugh!!!

Oy.
