what is that word
#19256721 - 12/10/13 06:07 PM (10 years, 1 month ago) |
|
|
Basically, my boss got upset at me for not being thorough on a project he gave me. However, in my defense, the one thing he called me out on I did. So if I were to reply back and say "hey, sorry, you are right. I did drop the ball, but just to let you know, that item was accomplished, I just didn't do this final step, however it was setup and working"
What is the word to describe that I am being picky about how he described the incident? Rather than ignoring his small error and taking the substance of the message, I bring light to this tiny shortcoming. I'm just having a brain lock
thanks and P.S. mushrooms and other gay stuff

You didn't feel his evaluation was accurate? Like that condensed into one word?

in the context of the OP, I don't think that really describes the word I was looking for. You are awarded no points, and we are all now stupider having heard that

No, I wouldn't say any of that, because I am the one being finicky. You are awarded no points, and we are all now stupider having heard that.

Yeah because telling your boss "I feel like you were being very meticulous about blah blah blah" sounds stupid?

I'm just fucking with you. It is from Billy Madison, but I still don't think you understand. My boss isn't being meticulous or nitpicking, I would be the one doing that by mentioning how he was wrong

about something insignificant. The very moment I bring it up, is the same moment I subvert the substance of the message. You feel me, dawg?

No, the OP said the word "meticulous" doesn't go with what he was trying to say to his boss. I was saying it made sense to call him meticulous

I learned this in rehab: I believe it's an addict behavior/reaction called minimizing. When an addict is called out for his addiction, he minimizes it by saying "But I have a job, a home , a family, I pay my bills on time. I just like to get fucked up!" No, you are an addict and a disgrace to society. And you'll never be a "normie" aka "normal person" aka non-addict.

After re-reading the first post, the word you are looking for is SMART-ASS. You are being a little smart-ass for trying to prove the professor wrong when his general message was right.
