whoa! If you say that to Friday, I'd hate to hear how you talk to MONDAY!
I skip the verbal abuse and go right to the physical violence.
Fridays are usually my busiest, and most of the requests are last-minute.
I've already gone apeshit once today. Next is batshit. After that, there's fuck-you-all-I'm-going-home shitfit.
Do any of you ever use Google Answers? Either as a researcher or a questioner?
A gift, for shrift, just posted today:

And now the elevators are broken, and I just had to stomp up six flights of stairs. Yo, Friday? None, none more hateful.

Yay!
My life is reduced to hobbling from the recliner to the computer to the freezer to get the ice pack.
Dana, I have osteoarthritis in my toes, and I find that cold makes them hurt, while heat (especially immersion in hot water) helps more than anything else, with the effect lasting several hours.
Of course, if the ice is making you feel better, than you should go with that treatment.
Ouise! How the heck are ya?

Nervous - I'm waiting for a business call and as a phone-o-phobe, I'm not too thrilled about the idea. I'm just asking for some information, so it wouldn't be a big deal to, say, a normal person.
How are you?
Bah. Dog naughtiness has resulted in
diarrhea all over my office floor

Sometimes I feel like the only person here that takes meetings seriously.
I just had someone lean over and say "Sorry! I'm stuck over here!" 20 minutes after the meeting he'd scheduled was due to start. It would have been a 30 minute meeting. He didn;t look very sorry.
Finally got the most elusive guy in the department to a meeting--we've been chasing him for weeks, and my co-project manager never showed or called. No problem--I handled it myself, but I'd
never
miss a meeting without making an excuse to someone closer to the start time than the end.
Of course, people never miss the meetings I want to disappear.
