SparkOfJade tells us more.
First thing first: I'm a girl. I have an engineering degree from one of the top universities in my field, and hold all the necessary certifications and then some. I do have a military background, but I am not in the military any longer, and I now have a full-time job at one of the top IT firms in the country. I'm a consultant, meaning I contract out to our company's clients. The "superior" in question was a higher up on the client side which is why he makes so much more than I do. He's been there at least 10 years. I'm on year 2 with my company. As anyone who's been a contractor will tell you, you can only explain to a client that they are being insane for so long until you do what they ask because they are paying the bills and "the customer is always right" *sigh* I obviously can not tell you which client it was. I'm really enjoying the witty responses, and even the not so witty ones (I did use the proper form of "there," you imbecile.)

Stupid people are stupid. I wish you the best OP.
It's sad, but true.
It's always the higher ups that seem to make the most and have no real reason to.
Not sure who the stupid one is here. OP works close to classified information and he posts here.
#41, Why is that a problem? OP didn't post any information about his/her work.
I'm a she.
This would be so much funnier if he worked for the NSA.
#47, no... That wouldn't make it more funny...
Tell him to bleach his hands since he touched them. Safety first!
Jesus, takes paranoia and stupidity to a whole new level doesn't it?
I don't think Jesus has anything to do with this, sorry!
You should be sorry.
What if Jesus did have something to do with it... and you just dimissed his presence like that. You will be sorry.
Now I'm sincerely hoping someone involved was a Hispanic male named Jesus, just do Jesus definitely had something to do with this.
This is where a comma makes all the difference.
But then the fumes go into the atmosphere and it becomes a free for all! Mustn't do that.

Show it anyway45 if OP was an intern then that means he'd make 0 so double that would be 0 for that guy above him. 46 how would you know if OP doesn't have a degree or is working on one? I don't if his job deals with classified information that he wouldn't have some kind of education background higher than high school.
Though I wondering about the superior's education.
There is such thing as paid interns, you know.
He could be in the military. Lower enlisted make very little money.
It's harsh having a dumb ass for a superior. Wish you better luck in the future!!
Reminds me of the company that destroyed millions of dollars worth of equipment to get rid of malware. Keyboards, mice, printers. To get rid of malware. They destroyed the mice. Morons.

Show it anywayLook up the Economic Development Administration and you'll see the extent of the idiocy. Uninfected systems, plus monitors keyboards, cameras and mice, all destroyed because 'zomg teh malware! We'z under attack from a nation state!' (And no they weren't, it was regular stupid people malware)
Mice are know to carry viruses....nasty little creatures! Ba-dum-tiss! ;)
Jeez, tough crowd....everybody should be able to chuckle at a little grade school humor every once in a while.
I thought you were funny, and I even got it on the first read. ..
