But a trifle aggravated.

If you provide me with a list of names and addresses and ask me to prepare mailing labels for a sales mailing to go out, I will, in fact, do so.

If you subsequently provide me with three letters that I have to argue with you over in order to get you to acknowledge and correct errors in, and then I print said letters from the list of names & addresses you provide with them...and they prove not to match the mailing labels you previously provided, I will, in fact, become aggravated in a minor sort of way.

And, yes, you will then have to pay me for twice the amount of time it takes to print mailing labels because I had to throw the first batch away, you see.

Also? If you decline to let me order toner for the printer because one of these days you're going to order toner from a cheaper place on-line? I will not be able to print until such time as you actually get around to ordering the toner and we receive it. So, get a move on.

That is all.

P.S. You know what I like? I like a boss who says, "As far as today, goes, you can leave whenever you're done with what you're doing."

I especially like if it he's just handed me about 20 hours worth of work.

He's a nice kind of dork, but he's a dork.
