My Manager: How is the progress so far on the search module?

Me(After implementing some crazy shit requirements): It's all set. APIs are working well against the mock in-memory database. I need an actual database to run my unit tests. Where do we have it?

My manager: Let's pretend that there is no database at this moment. Go-ahead with rest of your activities.

Me(IN MY MIND): F*CK you a** hole. You don't know the first thing of software development! Which a** hole promoted you as a manager!!!

Me(TO HIS FACE): Ah.. okay!! As you wish!

    If you don't call out your manager now you'll end up taking their blame later.

    @arcadesdude oh, I never take the blame. Most of the higher level people don't understand words. So I give a live demo of a "failure". Then I make them understand the situation. That's always been my approach.

    @sbaitmangalkar good approach. Show them because they won't understand otherwise.
