I had a manager who one time during a meeting, he
suddenly stopped talking and stared at me. I wasn't
looking at him because I was taking notes on my Newton
and didn't notice that he had stopped...I was catching
up on what he was saying. When I finally caught up, I
looked up to see everone looking at me. He then said,
"are you playing games on that thing?" I told him that
I was taking notes. He didn't believe me and said that
I need to prove to him by sending him the notes I was
taking...Talk about a paranoid ID-ten-T (write that
out to find out what he is)
Needless to say, he wasn't a very popular manager. We
were all happy to see him leave...except when we found
out that he took a teaching position at GMU for
teaching management methods.
