That sucks, Spidra. What is it with people like that? Is it so terrible to admit to someone that you're human and that occasionally you make mistakes?
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cheerierly (if not a word, please see erinaceous for its immediate wordification) I just saw this PDF for the first time. If you have people at your office who won't make the coffee--well, this mightn't help them make it, but might take the edge off your irritation when you show up to two empty pots baking.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
It could even have been our mistake, but it doesn't solve his problem to keep me waiting on the phone longer to try to prove me wrong. Doing the troubleshooting step I was prompting him to do would have gotten him closer.
Thank god the phone traffic is slow. I've been doing this job for 2.75 years and am really a bit burned on at least the phone aspect of the job. I don't let things roll off my back easily enough and stress has quite physical manifestations for me.
How're the eyes today, tommyrot? The 'roid rage?

I am attempting to start cooking on a more regular basis than has been the norm for the past year. In the oven now: spaghetti squash. Soon to be in the crockpot, chicken and soup veggies. Thawing: salmon steak. In the skillet: turkey bacon.

Haw. Wish I'd had that PDF when I worked at CNET. Where I work now, we have single-brew Melitta filters. So my PDF would now need to illustrate where the trash is and direct people that if they aren't brewing a second cup with those grounds, they need to compost or trash them. Not leave them in the sink.
One of my co-workers calls this "The Office of Bad Housemates" and she's so right.

Still slowly improving.

Sometimes I think I might need some sort of sedative, but other times I feel better. Hopefully I can get more sleep tonight than last night.
Also, stupid computer job, that I have to work sitting down....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not to mention, the Help Desk can't exactly fix the printed manual after it's been printed...

That's because we NEED help.
Heh.
Actually, I do customer support for books. We just happen to publish books on computers, unfortunately.
