*just.....needs to rant a bit....*

I love my co-workers...I really do...but some of them....sometimes....just DRIVE ME UP THE WALL!! .........One in particular. ~,~;; I swear the man does NOT understand the basics of communication, feels he must explain the same damn thing five times with only slightly different wording, and when you try to make a point of your own he ends up bring it back around to the previous point.....which was already covered and resolved....PLEASE, we’re moving ON now.
Most of the time, I try to just smile and nod and assure him I’ll, “play around with [the database] and see what I can do”. But sometimes he’s asking me to change or add things that DON’T NEED TO BE CHANGED OR ADDED. And for as impossible as it can be sometimes to get the man to see it, in the long run is saves me a lot of time....but until I get it through his thick skull that his logic is not logical we end up going over the same thing over and over and he tries to explain to me what he wants, and I try to explain to him why it’ll be more work and more confusing if I do it his way. I usually manage, in the end (after 20-30 minutes of going over things, over and over), to get him to see what I’m talking about, but.....D<
Today, it’s one of those stupid things, and I have to kick myself in the head for even /trying/ to make sense of things, ‘cause I work for the freaking government, nothing makes sense (which is why I think my co-worker seems to understand it so well, ‘cause he never makes sense either. >,>...). And so here, I’ve gotten myself all riled up over trying to make sense out of WHY he wanted me to do something, when (according to the scenario he kept insisting on using) it meant that bit of info would be changing anyway. SO WHY BOTHER RECORDING IT IF IT’S GONNA CHANGE?!?!?! I gave up, more or less told him to go away, and made the damn changes. Should have just made the damn changes to begin with it doesn’t affect me, he’s the one that’s got to remember one more step, and I have to remember one less, wtf do I care?
*SIGHS* All right....I’m done now.....well no...no I’m not....I wanna make it clear that the only reason I stay sane at this job sometimes is because of my wonderful, adopted sis.
