I can't punch a coworker

I walked into the production manager's office today.  He is also the head of HR.  I asked him, quite innocently, "If I punch a coworker in the mouth, would I get written up, or is it instant termination?"  He chuckled a bit and said, "I'm sorry, but it's termination."

Damn.

I can handle the needs of my clients.  I can fix errors, educate customers, support software, answer receptionist calls between CS calls and leap tall buildings in a single bound.  I can NOT deal well with folks who are lazy and want me to finish the job that they started, and only half-ass started at that.

I mean, really...if you took TWO minutes to listen, you'd know how to handle this yourself.  But you don't WANT to handle it.  You want to push it off on someone with more knowledge, then return to your scripted answers.  It's easier that way.  It's easier to dump on me.  It's easier to be lazy.  I don't CARE if you're approaching retirement age.  If you can't do this job, then retire now.  I beg of you.

Retire now.

Thanks for letting me vent, dear readers.  I needed to get that out.  I won't punch her, but I'll smile every time I think about it.  *evil grin*  The thought of my knuckles hitting her square in the mouth.  That'd take her down a notch or two.  *evil grin*
