Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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!
hooray Sophia!
Congratulations, Sophia! Great news!
Yay, Sophia! What did asshat boss do when you told her?
Woo Hoo Sophia!!
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.
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?

She did all your work for you! That's awesome.

love that, just dealt with it today.
Me: and where are you on the invoice we sent you?
Client: yeah, I was wondering if those #s included blah and blah.
Me: well you need to call me or email me if you have questions, that is the only way they can get answered.
then there was a bunch of us laughing about it.
I like my new office.
