Smug Git: Did i ask you do some copying for Big Fat Clients?

Me: I don't really remember, I have so many glamorous jobs to do in a day.

Smug Git: I think I did.

Me: Oooo Kay....

Smug Git: So do you know where it is?

Me: No.

Smug Git: did you post it somewhere?

Me: (thinks) Yes, of course, because that's the sort of crap thing you think I do

Smug Git: could you have a look for it?

Me: If I did it, I would have put it on your desk.

Smug Git:: It's not there.

Me: *Bichon Stare*

Matthew loves the Dresden Files books.....I have yet to read them but he has gotten them all and highly recs them. I did watch the Sci-Fi Channel series over the winter based on them which I did highly enjoy too.

and *smites your smug git*

I can't beleive we haven't had the series here - I'd love it, for one! Perhaps they are keeping it off until the Potter saga is over or something.

The Dresden book (I've only read the first one) is fun, but the series based on the books? Meh.

it's a shame when they can't translate something into screen properly

OK, next time he does that, pretend you have an internal implant that digitally records instructions from smug gits, called an IDD (Internal Digital Dictaphone) Like:
Him: Did I ask you to do some copying etc
You: *slight pause for effect* No.
Him: I think I did.
You: I had an IDD implanted last week for just this eventuality, so obviously you didn't or I'd have it recorded.

I dare you to say it. And I bet he doesn't ask what an IDD is because he doesn't want to look stupid. DONKEY DARE YOU.
Oh! Oh! And if he does ask what it is, tell him and then go:
You: I'll prove it. Give me an instruction.
Him: Um... photocopy the Big Fat Clients file?
You: *slight pause* You just asked me to photocopy the Big Fat Clients file. See how that works?

God, the fun you could have with invented office technology.

We call that look the "blank blue-eyed stare," after my mom's perfection of the effect. Particularly effective done just over the rim of glasses something as a librarian might do. Just a long, lengthy, totally affectless stare, not speaking, no twitch of emotion on the face, acting like the computer drive is grinding away and producing...nothing. A good long fifteen seconds of no response at all but a very few blinks will make them crazy.
Reduces bullies to incoherent babbling, makes biaatches stamp off in frustrated rage, and makes everybody else laugh a lot, if they know it's deliberate. On the other hand, when they don't, they think you're a nutjob.
