Today was one of those sometimes:
Boss: Please provide info to me for something you have done so we can bill a client
Me: OK
Boss: We need to bill the client
Me: OK. Do I need to bill anything other than what I have done.
Boss: No
Me: OK
Later in the day:
Boss: Why the f*** have you only billed what you did and not what X and Y did.
Me: Well, I did as you asked
Cue proper b*ll*cking for apparently not having the skills to assume that wehn he said "No", he actually meant "Yes".
Grrrr 👿
(Yeah, I know, grateful to have a job, etc. Sometimes, however, I do wonder....)
EDIT: And the wrong blinking forum, too. I'm going to have some lunch.
What's the name of your employer please?
Sorry, but I would have bitten faced with something like that. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it, which can sometimes be a bad plan. But when I'm right, well, I'm right and that's that. I'd have argued him into the floor, boss or not....
Offer to make him a cup of tea and secretly flob in it.
Wee in his shoes?
I could wee in his shoes. He's only 5'2", though, so he might headbutt me in the goolies in return....
PP - I consider rising, tried to get my point across, and then couldn't be bothered to have to have an extended shouting match with him. Not over £1100..!
put a pubert in his sandwiches
Ha ha. Partners in law firms eh?
Females and short men are the worst...
Bombers?

(In my best Omar-from-The-Wire voice) Indeed.
But I do like lookma's oneyedwilly approach to the matter.... 😉
