reason 24209985927 why my boss is an asshat:
annual report due on Monday the 10th. I know that I will be out Mon, Tues and Wed with the closing/move. I give him a draft on Tuesday the 4th, with all of the attachments. I tell him it's due on Monday the 10th. I send him an email with a soft copy, which says that it's Monday the 10. I call him on Friday the 7th to check, he is oblivious. He says we'll talk Monday. I remind him that I'm out. I offer to make myself available during the weekend. He tells me that he'll call Sunday. I wait, hear nothing. He calls at 8:45 Monday. I don't hear it, and wouldn't have answered if I did. I check my email later, say "hey, I found some typos" His response? "How do we get the report to them"
PUT IT IN AN EVELOPE AND MAIL YOU DUMB SHIT. I decide to be kind and act as if he was asking another question and reply with "I believe the address on the front page of the report is good for FedEx" Then he wants me to call him. I don't.
Last night, after many flights of stairs and a long night of packing ahead of me, I see an email asking about the attachments. I say "I gave you the attachments on Tuesday with the hard copy of the draft" His response "Are there attachments required? Call me"
MY GOD YOU ARE FUCKING INCOMPETENT OR THE LAZIEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE GODDAMNED EARTH. I WROTE the motherfucking report, I gave you the attachments. I did all of this FOUR BUSINESS DAYS before the shit was due, since I was going to be out. READ THE MOTHERFUCKING INSTRUCTIONS AND I HOPE TO GOD YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO LICK A STAMP.
(sorry for the huge cap use, but asshats require asscaps)
OK, I was thinking the "Catholic League" was a somewhat mainstream religious organization (as I'm not familiar with it).
No, Bill Donahue is your standard issue ranting wingnut of the "Jesus hates everyone but me and people exactly like me" variety.

Words to live by. Or print on a t-shirt.
Skippity for the last Buffista Calendar update of the current Jewish year:
So, today is Polter-Cow's birthday (happy birthday!), and also Herah's, whose posts I haven't seen in forever. Tomorrow, the 13th, is billytea's birthday. Friday, the 14th, is Lyra Jane her DH's anniversary. Saturday, the 15th, us Nora Deirdre's birthday, as well as Angus Gordon's (whose posts, too, I hadn't seen in way too long).
Wow, September is a good month for Buffistas. Lots of early wishes for everybody!
And, of course, shana tova, and a good-rest-of-the-week, and, oh, look at the time, I have to log off.
The problem is that Donohoe keeps on getting legitimized by being a common Catholic pundit/representative when it comes to Catholic issues being discussed (on Fox Noise, in particular). He's responsible for getting one of my favorite bloggers (Melissa McEwan, aka Shakespeare's Sister) booted off of Edwards' campaign staff, so I already hate him.
No, Bill Donahue is your standard issue ranting wingnut of the "Jesus hates everyone but me and people exactly like me" variety.
And yet, he somehow is given a lot of credibility by mainsteam news orgs and certain political parties I could name. So really, he's a rather more dangerous ranting wingnut than the usual.
I keep x-posting with people who say it better (first bon and now Kathy.)
Bob and I were just talking about this last night. He's like Fred Phelps in that he makes the news not because he's newsworthy, or represents something, but because he's salacious. He creates a story, like this one. And what possible reason would he have to stop? Should any one of you want to become famous, create a nonprofit and start getting offended.
Thanks for the Happies, guys!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLTER!!!!
