Rock on, Sophia. That sounds great.

[cc-ing everyone]

Oh, I hate retaliatory cc-ers. There's covering your ass, and there's being an ass. Incompetent man in Portland does this to me. I send him a simple e-mail. He replies to me, my boss, the people I'm doing the work for, and occasionally his boss (who cares NOTHING about me) and says things like, "Hey, have you considered doing this thing that has absolutely no bearing on what you're actually doing?"

DIE DIE DIE.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Woohoo, Sophia!

So jealous of Raquel's husband...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like retaliatory ccing, even when used against me, because no one's used it properly against me yet. So it just makes them look silly, and reduces the likelihood their next e-mail will get read by the cc list (at which point I may have done something wrong, and need to hide).

Congrats, Sophia!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congratulations, Sophia! Great news!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Yay, Sophia! What did asshat boss do when you told her?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

And the funnest part? Doing it polite as fuck. Sacchrine, even. Except the only sarcasm is in my head, not on the page.

just to see it again.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I can internally use the phrase "magical thinking" to explain why clients don't remember things I told them months ago

My version of "magical thinking" is people thinking things in my direction and then forgetting to actually tell me. Which results in them not getting what they need, of course, and then getting shirty with me.

"Psychic" not in job description, yo.

Oh, I hate retaliatory cc-ers. There's covering your ass, and there's being an ass.

The best part? All the of the email chain she included in her cc-ing madness only demonstrates that she never mentioned any of this in our previous communications.

I left her a polite voicemail and now we've got everything squared away... just in time for one of the servers to go kerplooey!

Now I get to wait for everyone to go home so I can do a manual reboot of the database server. Joy.

So you're saying you work with my mom?
