You should make him derive it using arc length from calc II.

Then tell him to save by hitting alt+f, then x, then n, really fast in that order... :p

No no, the Dilbert Principle states that incompetent people are promoted to management where they can do the least damage...

Stories like this make me really, really glad I've got a great boss.

I'm sorry to hear about your boss, but to be honest, it's been YEARS since I've thought about geometry, let alone done any. I'm lucky that all I really do is add and subtract, with a little multiplication and division thrown in.

My boss told me tuesday afternoon to get a 4 color catalog job ready for him so he could see it and approve it because it ABSOLUTELY needed to be at press this afternoon.

He didnt even show up for work today, his sec... office assistant :rolleyes: told me he decided to take the day off.

And he knows damn well that Ive been working my ass off to get it ready for him...

I think thats pretty good, puts him up for the azzhole award too :angry:

I'm my own boss right now, so I'm not in a position to say really... ;)

But, I have a friend who worked on the Mars Orbiter telecom and her boss got liver disease. All the drugs they gave him and toxins from a non-functional liver made him dumb as a stump. He's still "working" because nobody has the heart to fire him. Just hanging on until retirement...
