You should get a computer for your home and read your personal email
there. I'm tired of having to work twice as hard to make up for lazy
leaches like you.

HA! I was expecting some dumbass like you to troll this thread.

Unless you're a highly functioning manager, like me, in my department
and are overstepping your job function boundaries believe me -- you
will never make up for anything (I doubt you could anyway). Do you
actually think I don't have a computer at home?

Yeah, right. Playing on the computer all day and scheming to do it
even more makes you something but it isn't 'highly functioning'.

>and are overstepping your job function boundaries believe me -- you

All of the work you don't do while you're playing has to be made up by
someone. And I know you don't have a job at my company. You'd have
been gone a long time ago with your work 'ethic'.

> Do you actually think I don't have a computer at home?

Maybe you should use it sometime then.

Translation: The lazy coward can't stand to be told the truth.

Why do you think I don't do my work? I'm a top-rated performer every
year with nothing but accolades for what I produce. I get my work
done on time or ahead of deadlines without fail and go way more than
the extra mile. You've got a very twisted mentality.

Because you bragged about not doing your work. Could that be it?

This is Usenet. We're all top rated managers, CEOs and
multi-millionaires who spend our time hobnobbing with the rich and
famous when we're not posting.
The truth is that you're most likely some boring guy with some boring
run of the mill job. Every place I've ever worked the guys like you
who played on the Internet were the ones no one counted on to get
anything done. Everyone else in their department did all the work no
matter what the offenders rank. If you really are a 'top rated'
manager its because your people are carrying the load you should be
shouldering and you're taking the credit.

No, I've got experience with lazy leaches like you represent yourself
to be.
And your killfile seems to be broken.

Oh my God! You need to get laid! You're waaaaaay tooooo tightly wound up.
Your mind is sooooo small. it's like you lack all ability to even ...
think.

You're silly and pathetic. Are you happy? Do you feel like you made your
point? Looks like that killfile worked for the OP.
