I feel personally attacked.

Although it wasn't full coding in the strict sense of the term, it was stuff that required elaborate connections between tables in a Filemaker database. It felt like every single meeting they had these little fucking brainfarts, sitting lazily in their chairs with a relaxed but bad posture, "Can you get this thing to do this other thing for me?", there was a passive mindlessness to the tone of voice, like they were fiddling out loud with their brain, tickling themselves, trying to come up with shit on the spot.

EDIT: they were the kind of mindless assholes who, when they found out my vacation was upcoming, suddenly had a shitload of urgent requests for me to do. Like they conjured things out of knee-jerk reaction, like their minds were nothing... nothing... nothing... PANIC!!!... nothing... nothing...
