Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

hm, maybe... I don't know. But it sounds like a possibility, if you know of a similar situation.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Man, I am a stone bitch.

I get back to work today for the first time since my granddad died. I put all my stuff down, shuffle in the kitchen to make some oatmeal, and when I come back to my desk, Incompetent!Boss is waiting with a piece of paper.

He doesn't say hello, doesn't ask how I am, etc. The first words out of his mouth to me are, "Well, we're behind on [xyz], and so your top priority today has to be [abc]...."

And I interrupted, because I am a STONE BITCH, and said, "Thanks, really, for the condolences on my dead grandfather."

Which stopped him cold, and he blinked at me for a minute, and then said, "Uh. Sorry. Now, back to what I was saying...."

I'm not an evil needy demon; I just expect the bare minimum of politeness from people. (Though, now that I think about it, I wasn't polite to Incompetent!Boss, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. In addition to being a stone bitch.)

It's a damn carnival here, I tell ya. Every freaking day is a carnival.

[sets watch to see how quickly Scola posts a job listing for me....]

You're not a hypocrite or a stone bitch. I'm cheering you for standing up to the asshattery. Whoo-hoo! Comeuppance!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've become predictable, haven't I?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Wow. Incompetent!Boss is really raising the bar for asshattery. What a wanker.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Stony, possibly, but not bitchy. Incompetent!Boss desperately needed a single cold slap across the face, and you delivered.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What Nora said, that is inexcusable behavior from your boss. Good for you!

I prefer to think of it as sweet.

Also, one of the jobs you listed in the past was for a sex toy editor -- it doesn't get much better than that!

t edit Plus today's PORN EDITOR, which is really tempting, if only for the announcement I could send into my alumnae magazine....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Uh. Sorry. Now, back to what I was saying....

The bitch in this situation is SO not you. Just sayin'.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Slap him again, just on general principle. Asshat.

Now, I can be task driven and absolutely focused and gloss right over the niceties of life, so I can sort of understand where he might be coming from. Still? "Uh. Sorry. Now, back to what I was saying..." Does not meet (okay, spelled 'meat'. Freudian, much?) minimum social skills necessary for dealing with other real humans.
