So yesterday I brought my laptop to work because a friend of mine, Mindy, needed to use it, and she'd just pick it up while at I was at work (a minute out of my working time - a potty break or something). Brian, my boss (and if you ever get the unfortunate opportunity to meet him you will understand why he is a douche) he asks me, "what's that?" pointing to the laptop. I say, "it's my laptop." He then asks, "why did you bring it to work?"
"A friend of mine is going to come by and pick it up."
"Who is it?"
"Does it matter?"
"Who is it?"
"Mindy, You remember her, she's the one you fired."
"I don't like that, she can't come in the building."
"fine, I'll give it to her out in the parking lot"
He looks all huffy and walks away. I go to my desk and start working, which means I got my computer up and running and I picked a good song to start listening to on my ipod. I can see that Brian is standing behind me (from the reflection in the computer screen) this is normal, so I didn't think anything of it, but in the reflection I see that his lips are moving, I take out my head phones. I turn around in my chair and say, "Pardon?"
"You need to put that laptop in your car."
"No. It will freeze, that is why I brought it inside."
"Why does she need to come here, why can't you give it to her tomorrow?"
"Because she needs it tonight, I didn't know that this was going to be a big deal. Is this company policy or is this because it is her we are talking about?"
"I don't want her to come in this building, she left on bad terms, I don't even want her on my property. You are on my time, you should have done this on your own time."
"this is the only time that it works for the both of us... so you're telling me that if my husband needed to stop by and get something from me you're saying that he'd have to wait till I was done with work or get it from me before I get to work?"
"You should have thought about this before, you need to do this on your own time. She is not to be on this property."
"Well can I at least call her to let her know that she can't come to here? It will only take like a minute, what is the big deal?"
"You need to do this on your own time."
"She lives like 5 min away, can I go drop it off to her?"
"Yes"
I thought for sure that I was going to get fired when I came back from dropping it off, due to keeping relations with people who've gotten fired.
Also, 2 other of my friends were fired two days ago for "talking to each other" blah blah blah... WHAT A JERK!
