is it possible???

why is it that when people who obviously want something come up to me and say "hey brock is it possible to (insert request here)? they should know that first of all No it is not possible for me to do that. and second of all i promise you that if i tell you that i dont know, then rest assured that I DO NOT KNOW, i am not joking or playing a prank on you i honestly dont know. then they look at me and say "are you sure" hmmmmm let me think for a second genius......OF COURSE I AM SURE otherwise i wouldnt have told you. then i get the all time great question "well do you know who would know the answer to that?" listen dumb ass, if i knew that person i would have found out the information for myself long ago thus keeping me from having to go through this ridiculious conversation with you. but the one that really sets me off is "hey brock i know this is kinda last minute but (insert absurd request here)? to which my first response is a loud laugh then i try to give them a look to make them feel as dumb, stupid, insignificant as possible and say "well if i had known you wanted that more than 2 hours in advance i might could have helped you out". let me ask all of you guys something Do I look like Jesus to any of you? because im sure he is the only miracle worker in the business and im pretty sure I AM NOT HIM! I DO NOT WORK MIRACLES! i love when people come to me and want a video tomorrow. have no idea what they want on it or what music to put on it. they arent even sure they want a video but they are sure that i have the answers to their problems, evidently i just dont want to help them out. or sometimes they want something videotaped but they dont know what time it starts, or how long it will last, or better yet what all they need. but i guess its my job to read minds too, the sign on my office should say Brock aka Miracle Worker and Mind Reader to all! i want to just look at them and say stuff like: do you just walk into the O.R. at a hospital and demand a operation right then? do you go to a reservation only restaurant and demand a seat when you havent made a reservation? do i show up in your office and demand that you make me a sandwitch right now! or i want you to go clean my office NOW! i dont care that i am 33rd in line i should be the first one in line! and church/religious people are the worlds worst at doing this. the only time management or planning they know is last minute. well i am here to tell you that under me there WILL BE NO LAST MINUTE working, i dont care how important it is. just like the sign in Dennis Duncans office used to say: a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. if you want last minute then i dont want you.

BDT!

lol three snaps in a Z formation!!!
So true though man, I know the feeling!! I wish I had a copy of that duncan sign to put on my desk. Today I had a list of 144,500 names already loaded into the database under one source. It was 11:30 and they had an email planned to go out at 1:00 when they called and said "Oh we forgot to tell you that list needs to be in 5 different datasources so can you do that before the email goes out?" UM NO THERE ARE FREAKING 144,500 names in your list!!! I'm not vicky the robot!! ha ha do you remember her? Anyway stand your ground dude, don't take junk or you'll be used as a doormat but remember to smile so they don't hate you and you'll still get raises!
