This is a question And that's the thanks I got

On getting screwed over by people for whom you were doing a favour:

I spent several weeks helping my best friend - a complete layabout - with his A-Level computer science project so he wouldn't fail his course. In the end, he did so little work I actually ended up doing the whole thing for him in a half-term week I should really have spent revising for my own exams.

I got back to college to find that while I was hunched over a red-hot BBC Micro, he had spent the week screwing my girlfriend.

Then he didn't bother sitting the exam because "I'm going to fail anyway".

And that's the thanks I got. How have you been screwed over whilst doing someone a favour?

Fourth in a three horse race
Company structure
-Aunt of a boss, seldom in, his company though..
-My 'nominal' boss, purely on virtue of years with company, we're the same age
-Me (tendancy to rest on laurels so here dossing, no targets, unaccountable, free car, phone, internet etc for 7 years)

Trip with Aunt boss to Slovakia - I suck satan's corporate scholong like it's dripping honey, pull out all possible management cock-speak stops and get this company on board, persuade them to only work with us, been chasing them for 4 years. Had them eating out of my hand.

Later, over drinks:
Aunty boss: hmm we do need to employ someone to be Nominal boss' deputy, don't we?

Apparently when I asked why it wasn't me it was my 'tact and diplomacy' that let me down. (that'll be the diplomacy of asking why it wasn't me presumably)

GRRRRRR. Not long now....He'll be reborn a slug.
