The Boss.

[Lookingglassman]

My boss is an army captain who is an incompetent idiot who resigned his commission and is just waiting to leave.

Your replies have been very helpful and show that it is not a lone situation. I don't think I will have a private jet, I just hope I might be on one. I've never even left the country, yet.

 

[Finn]

Okay. Good luck

 

[Australis]

And still no mention of what kind of ideas he promulgates. Ah well.

 

[Cheapjack]

I'm talking in generalisms, really, I the situation is very typical. I'm worried a bit, cos the situation could get even worse, for lots of people in this sort of situation. I think that this is not very likely.

 

[Finn]

What's not likely?

What's the situtation that is "very typical"?

I don't sweep up, by the way.

 

[Finn]

Dude, that doesn't answer my questions, as well as the ones the other posters asked.

 

[Cheapjack]

Answer in generalisms. Actually, you've all been very helpful.

Yes, we know you're talking in generalizations, and we've been trying to tell you that you're speaking so generally that you're not communicating.

 

[Shatnertage]

Cheapjack, if you sincerely want folks who don't know you or your work situation to actually give you helpful advice

Emphasis mine.

Gotta love your charming idealism.

Hey, I've only been posting less than a year. By the time I make Rear Admiral, I should be a cynical, broken husk of a man.

A1 thread.

Beginning to think this is a turing test and Cheapjack is failing.

 

[Cheapjack]

Actually, my intelligence tells me that I am in a mess, partly due to my own fault, partly to bad luck and placing and I am capable of getting out of it. I could have been taken off the project months ago, and not given any more. I am lucky. I am valued cos I'm a bit forthright, but you have to be careful, and it is difficult to watch what you are saying, when you are being poked and prodded from a few directions. Cursing in the right direction is better.

Just thought I'd confuse you a bit more.

I had to go find out what a turing test is. Now that I know...

 

[Australis]

Oh dear. This Will Not End Well.

We'll welcome you to our fold.

That much is sure.

Oh dear. This Will Not End Well.

Well, This Did Not Start Well Either. But al least, there's symmetry.

Same here.


I'm starting to think that this guy doesn't even have a job.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

^I assume he has a job. And poor communication skills and an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.

And he's loving all the attention he's getting. So... I'm outta here.

 

[Shatnertage]

^ I'm starting to think it's not really even a person, just a very crude AI that can't pass a Turing Test.
