Dude, honestly, I'm not just talking out of my ass

So, I asked him why he wanted to know, and my supervisor told me that so-n-so asked for it. I then said if that's the case then so-n-so should ask through the proper channels and "That guy," I said pointing to the boss's office should answer it. "No, you're right," was the reply he gave but then he went and dug out the information.

So, later when the boss walked by, my supervisor brought up so-n-so's request and the boss said "Then so-n-so, should be making a proper request in writing and then we can ask that guy there (pointing to the big boss's office) what he wants us to say."

I love saying "I told you so," even when I do actually say it.
