I was really mad today.

It started with Theo wanting to finish putting in the microwaves, we only got four more done.  The only good thing about today was that I drove the lift down the ramp and through the parking lot without hurting myself or anyone else.

The joy from that was greatly diminished from the security cameras.  A few days ago, we had a storm, and some lightning struck the building which threw out some of our cameras.  The plan was to replace all the cameras but the first one we went to had something wrong with the wiring.  

Honestly this was no big deal; we just needed to find out which end of the wire needed to be redone and then redo it.  So, we figured out which end it was and that was when Theo decided to but his head into our project.

Theo is not an electrician, he doesn't know wiring, so he doesn't do wiring.  When he asked what was wrong with it we told him that the end in the server room needed to be redone.  Instead of letting us do our job and leave on time he decided to see for himself if we were right.

Because obviously he knows everything.

After an hour of us standing there, and Theo cutting much more than he needed to, he told us that it was the other end of the wire that needed to be redone.

I walked back to the shop after that because I was thoroughly pissed off.  After clocking out and getting ready to leave he walks into the shop and precedes to tell me, "You know it's important that we have those cameras up and running."

I knew this!  He was talking to me as if I was sixteen!  I told him in the calmest manner I could muster, "I know that Theo.  The problem is that we could have had the camera done by three if you just listened to what we had to say.  Instead, you had to check it yourself and waste an entire hour with the camera still not finished."

After that I left.
