Oh, work life is WONDERFUL.
Thanks for telling me I had to cover the front desk FIVE MINUTES before I had to and THREE DAYS after you knew you needed coverage and FUCKING UP MY SCHEDULE.
Thanks, unnamed organization, for deciding that you wanted more than TWICE the amount of data you asked for last year, then leaving out any of the IMPORTANT THINGS about the new data, like TIME PERIOD or WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE A TERMINAL DEGREE.
Thanks, unnamed boss person, for deciding that we can't even make the current "week late" deadline for the initial cut of the BIG HONKING REPORT, possibly meaning that we'll be WORKING on the revision of this report ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
Thanks, stoopidarse weathergods, for deciding that TODAY is the FIRST DAY OF NOT-SUNNY in Seattle.
Thanks, Jon Paul Morosi, for writing the stupidest article about baseball in the history of humankind, which just made my blood pressure boil as you called the Freddy Garcia trade a "bad deal," making me want to REACH THROUGH THE COMPUTER AND SLAP YOU FOR MAKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE RISE.
Grr. HULK SMASH.
And thanks, me, for NOT PROOFREADING.
t backs slowly away from husband
Yeah. I'ma get married real soon.
Who doesn't want to come home to *that*?
;)
Believe me, I'd love to join in on the Hulk Smashage. What he's going through is one of the most extreme cases of "person at the top ruins underlings' lives through rampant procrastination of something that's been scheduled for years" I've ever witnessed.
Well my invisible friends...I'm off to watch the A's last home game. A meaningless match with the Angels, but the last baseball game of the year.
Have fun, lexine! My buddy just offered me a ticket to the last Blue Jays game of the year, Sunday against the MIGHTY KANSAS CITY ROYALS on Fan Appreciation Day (snerk). Of course I'm going!
Who doesn't want to come home to *that*?
On the days I miss that, I just turn the tv up louder.
I'm teasing, Susan. He seems like a fine spouse. Just feeling a little extra single today.
I figured you were, erika--I just wanted to make sure it was clear
I
was teasing with the backing slowly away part!
I slept in an extra hour this morning and I feel so much better. And it dramatically helped the dark circles of doom under my eyes too.
Aww, spouse stuff. Sorry that work is such of the suck, dw. Venting is a good thing.
Emily, I've been thinking of you. What you are going through right now is just so hard and draining from my experience. I hope the world starts smiling a little more on you.
My dad just called with the news that my friend A.'s husband died this morning. My uncle works for a funeral home, and I had given A. his name when she was looking into it a few months ago -- her husband had cancer and had relapsed badly late last year.
So unbelievable -- I think he was just forty, and they have a six-year-old son. He found out about the cancer when A. was pregnant with their little guy, so their son never knew his dad as other than ill in one way or another.
