Unprofessionalism 101

There's a guy I work with who is NOT my boss (though he likes to imagine he is) who is so unprofessional. The funny thing is, he reprimands his subordinates for their unprofessional behavior. Then he'll talk about them behind their backs to everyone. "I just yelled at Pretty Boy Floyd because he doesn't have any calls on his cell phone log before 10 am. Ha ha! What a jackass!" Today after listening to one of his MANY foul comments of the day, I said to him, "I'm going to start writing these things down. I'm going to make a file. Seriously. I had to sit through the class. I know how to document these things." He laughed. He thought I was kidding. I wasn't. So starting now I will start listing all of the horrible things he says.

Today my Boss Who is Kind of a Goober was on the phone with a woman that Unprofessional Pete also knew. While BWIKOAG was talking to the woman, UP starts talking LOUDLY about how amazingly fat the woman is. And how hugely obese her husband is. And then he made some crude comments about what it must look like when they're having sex. UP is a LOUD TALKER. I'm sure the woman heard some, if not all of his comments. As did EVERYONE within a 6 cubicle radius. Professional?

Oh, by the way, the first time I met Unprofessional Pete I mentioned that BFCW was a blonde (something about her being goofy, I don't remember the context.) Anyway, he says to me, "So, does the carpet match the curtains?" Really. True story. Timmy was with me - he can back me up on this.

Yuck!
