That's what I was looking for. I know very little Spanish and that from many years ago.

Hi All
My Winge at management / clients continues, the client thinks I have been "downloading porn on his time, not getting on with the software", While I have not! The Boss gave me the Well get this bit going it will keep 'him' happy. I now have the Boss confused because the simple thing to do (and it is simple) will not work, I have demonstrated to him and he is now confused too

Doesn't sound like a solution then.

I would be confused if you showed me something that does not work also.
If you hold off and deliver the finished product in the end they get frustrated about why it is taking so long to get any results.
I've found that breaking the task down into small incremental units works best, if this is possible. Then you can deliver these small increments in small timeframes and everyone gets a warm and fuzzy feeling because they see progress taking place.

If the hardware isn't stable then you will never get anything to work consistantly.

Time to start looking for another job.
If people won't be reasonable about what is happening as things are ongoing they won't be reasonable in the end.
You will be blamed.

At that point of the discussion, I would have told 'The Boss' that he had 30 seconds to put this guy in his place, or I'm out of here. 29... 28... 27...
You can't put up with that sh*t.

The best bit he's on the phone now and the Boss man has is fighting for me by the sound of it.

I like licorice, the good stuff mind not the over sweetened All Sorts rubbish.
I used to keep a bowl on my desk with a mixture going from simple Dutch through the bitterness scale right through to "Is that ammonia I can taste?". I allowed anyone to take them as long as they ate whatever they chose...

About that hint of ammonia on dark chewy pellets.
Sorry to break this to you, but think "cat's litter-box"

I once had a boss sitting at the desk behind mine eating apples with his mouth open.

Why when you have a junior that drinks a boat load of tea during the day
I haven't made a regular round of tea & coffee for 3 month 
so you can keep your pork scratching scoffing junior to yourself ..
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.
