I swear...sometimes my boss needs to be struck by lightning, smote by Holy Fire, or struck down by God for being a complete fool in some other manner.
Check it:
I have Kurdish guys working with me. They wanted a memo to give to their boss stating they have to send their reports in Arabic. So I write up the memo and give it to my boss.
My boss goes ahead and emails all these people asking how to get a Kurdish Language pack.
Answer states: long process, need a memo signed by an O6, needs to be paid software, needs to be vetted the IT guys.
Reason I am pissed:
I went through this process 4 months ago, and got the same answer. DOD prohibits freeware on DOD computers. Being the computer guy for this office (seriously...I am the damn computer guy, have elevated accounts and all) I already knew this, and put it in my memo. Boss decides to keep trying for a kurdish language pack, which ONLY exists in freeware...you can't buy one, because it doesn't exist, which means it can NEVER be on a DOD machine. Stupid dip**** does not realize that signing the damn memo would be so much easier than going through a several month process which is guaranteed to fail.
We call him Mongo, because he is heavy handed and stupid. Tries to force his way through every situation ever, and most of the people in Iraq know and hate him (no joke). From what I gather, the entire reason he is fighting this is because he doesn't want to "give" the Iraqis anything...****ing annoying douche. For some odd reason he thinks these guys want a memo to their president, which is not true and I have no clue why he thinks it...I seriously would smoke the **** out of him every day until he goes home if he was a private...
Sorry. Had to rant, guys in my office wont even rant anymore because we are so used to his idiocy.
Throw up some de-stressing if you guys want lol.
He also has a conspiracy theory for EVERYTHING...
