you who talk in circles- get out of here!

i really hate people who talk in circles. more often than not, the reason why they did that was to excuse themselves for things that were not done. so this IT guy im dealing with, he has the habit of doing this and it really really gets on my nerves. today was the second incident. i was certainly not too kind to him in my language. he was going on about what should be done and why and blah and shit. i simply cut him off and said- well, the bottomline is that it is not done right?? i dint try to be too politically correct and im pretty sure that my body language showed that im displeased. this was confirmed because he came by my desk subsequently and tried to resolve the issue.

the first time was a few weeks back and i used really brutal language too. i told him very directly what should not be done to my new machine, because he was trying things out. he dint know what to do. i felt like a complete bitch and was overcome by guilt that i tried to soften my tone subsequently.

but i dint exactly want to control myself today because i really hate people who excuse themselves like this. i wld rather he told me in my face that i shld seek help from the helpdesk and not make excuses for himself.
