Just got griped at by my boss again, this time regarding something I did over a week ago. "Why'd you do this? What was the logic here?"
Umm, logic. Let's see. I have files that need to be applied to two different sets of directories, but they have the identical names. So each one got extracted to its own folder so that I could know without spending an extensive amount of time checking exactly which files were relevant to the Arabic version and which belonged to the Hebrew. There's the friggin' logic, asshole. I'm running four different directions at any given time doing all of the scut work on our team, and you demand an explanation for something i did a week ago? Give me a fucking break.
Yes, there is a certain degree of precision which needs to be observed. It was. Past that, it's just like deploying something in the field- get it functional. IT admins aren't going to care if it's pretty, what they care about is that it works for their people. I do something and make it work, and you bitch at me because I didn't read your mind and do it exactly the way you wanted it done but never stated? Give me a break. I'm not a fucking mindreader. In the real world, results are what matters. My work is done correctly. Want it also done to meet a particular cosmetic state? Then make that clear.
And, yes, i did tell him that. Not in exactly those words, but the gist was the same. Gods, please- grant me a Samhain wish- release into a different job. It's a time of transition, and of new beginnings. I'm ready to begin something new.

*ahem*
*cough*
What I like to say instead is:
"I shouldn't have to read your mind." or "It isn't my job to read your mind".
;)
*smoochies*... Just a little bit of reality outside the office for your day.
