Stairs = Steps

Holy crap - I honestly just got into a tiff with the douchebag team member on my "team building" team at the office.

We argued over this question:
How many steps are there from the outside of the back of building 4 to the patio outside the building 4 cafeteria? You answer must be within 2 steps.

There is a staircase that leads from the outside of that building's upper level to the outside patio downstairs. This isn't DIFFICULT!

I tried to explain clearly that there was a staircase and I guess this prompted him to come by my desk to which I all but drew him a fucking map of the building.

Anywho - he started to bicker about the term "steps". He assumed the question was asking how many steps a person must make to get from point A to point B. I tried to explain nicely, then not so nicely, that there is a staircase and that the question is asking how many steps OR stairs there are. This went on for about 10 minutes. 10 MINUTES. I told him to clarify with the coordinator of the event even though I thought it was pretty fucking obvious.

OY!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!


How do I get stuck with these people?

AND a woman from Wal-Mart has called me twice now for the wrong person. The second phone call, she got a bit argumentative with me. Bitch - don't get shitty with me, you called the wrong number!

LMAO!!! That is too freaking funny…For the record I would like to say I am the “good” team member that does everything Twinks wants me to do because I know she’s extremely competitive. Thank God I only have one more week left of your tyrannical raids through the building. j/k…You must tell me how things go once I’m gone…

I don't think I could have dealt with the stupidity. Really. I'm in awe that you managed to keep your cool!

ok girl, this is when you need to get a grip. This is an argument that SO does not matter. I mean, let's argue about something important like Spencer and Heidi - are they compatible?! AUGH! :-P
