Oh, HP! What a mess, and how stressful. So sorry to hear about your car. But also I'm glad you aren't going to go drinking. Won't solve anything and you know it.
The guy I'm working with right now.... *sigh*. I like my job but I dislike having to do his work. It's awkward because he's been with the company for 2 years, I've been here a week and have half the experience he has, but boss still asked me to be lead (which kind of makes me his supervisor). I think he's not happy about that, but if he's unwilling to do his job I can see why our boss didn't ask him to be lead. Oh well. It's only one assignment, it'll be over by the end of the month.
