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.

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....

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..!
