i wanna strangle him!

one of my co-workers is driving me crazy. and from now on i'll be referring to co-workers as cow's. learned that abbreviation from a friend in cali and i like it. i wanna smack this dude. he thinks he is in charge and he is micro-managing. and i'm real close to tellin him to back off. he's the technical lead here, but thats it. but he keeps asking if we've checked on "tickets". we use a call tracking system to handle any problems or issues that come in and we call them tickets. and everytime he leaves the office and comes back he's asking if we've checked the queue...actually he doesn't ask. he's telling us to, assuming we haven't or he's telling us to take tickets as they come in. and its buggin me to no end. i had to tell him about himself a few weeks back so he could come back to reality and he told me he appreciated me letting him know and he apologized and said he just gets caught up in getting the work done and doesn't want to hear it from management. he's abbrasive and tries to take this "i'm in charge" posture. management telling him that's he's the tech lead was the worse thing they coulda done with his ego. and they should have known better, they've had problems with him and this same attitude before. and he's a know it all on top of it and always wants to tell you what he would do in a situation. you don't have to ask him either, he'll just tell you. "what i'd do is...." sometimes i wanna say "i don't wann know what you would do and nobody asked you what you'd do". his heart is in the right place most of the time, but he's a big worry wart and worries about things before they happen. and its driving me and another cow nuts!!! and i've already told the other cow if he says one more thing to me about checking the queue for tickets i'm gonna tell him about it. eeesh!! and he'll be losing the position soon, cuz a guy that worked here before will be taking it and i can't wait. i'm tired of his mouth. that's enough of a rant for now, i'm gonna go out and enjoy the weather for a bit.
