Lazy or up himself ....

[snapper_37]

'Top' salesman this morning asks me for the camera. Yep, no problem - camera plus USB lead given.

Said salesman takes what photos he wants, about 10, then gives the camera to another bloke to bring back to me with the message 'Can you get the photos off and email them to him'.

Huh?

So I've just put the phone down after saying 'Have you lost your PC now then?'. 'Well, no but but'. 'No? Didn't think so, hence why the camera is on it's way back to you so you can knock yourself out retreiving them. It's not rocket science'.

It got me thinking....

Is he that lazy or is it with him being 'top' salesman, he actually thinks getting his own photos off a camera is somehow, well, below him.

Anyone else know folks like this?

Was this your own camera, or one belonging to the employers?

Just send him an E-mail, saying, "Oops, sorry, I pressed the wrong button, just re-formatted the SD card..."

It's just the work's camera Pete. I kind of reluctantly adopted it as when we first started using digital, no one else could be arsed learning knew how to work them. Now it seems that some people think I'm their personal secretary or bleat the 'oh but I don't know how to use it' excuse.

Hmmm.... well.... are you conversant with Photoshop (or similar)? You could always 'adjust' the images before you send them on to him. E.g. a few well-placed speech bubbles, or the like. (Keep the originals, just in case he makes a fuss...).

As I said:

I'm fraid the pics aren't interesting enough to play with, unless you're into packs of chops. Anyway, he's got the camera and a flea in his ear now.

Oh no, go on. See if you can photoshop the face of Jesus into one....

Hmm, you ask if he thought downloading the pics was below him. Maybe it's actually beyond him, and he doesn't want to admit that?

 

[snapper_37]

No Arch, I'm 100% sure it is not beyond him but he can be a right tit sometimes and this leads me to the up his own arse, along with a sprinkling of laziness along with a bit of 'it's a woman's job' conclusion.

It also occurs to me that my suggestion of putting the face of a Jewish man and Islamic prophet onto a pork chop might not have been tactful...

You weren't to know, they could have been lamb chops
