Gah, this is so awkward. My bloodstream is about 30% Claratin D right now but between the pollen outside and the dust in this office I literally can't breathe without sniffling. And now I'm totally self-conscious about it and basically can't breathe at all.

And with my luck she's probably a lurker. This is so stupid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is ridiculous. On her part, obviously.

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

Christ, what an ASSHOLE. I'm sorry she's stressing you out, but if possible, try to remember that she's a fucking asshole and that you need to breathe and blow your nose? And if she bitches to you again, maybe yell at her a little bit?

Or go to your boss and ask to work from home because some asshole says you are ruining her quality of work life. Or go to her boss and complain about her being a total fucking asshole.

PS, if she lurks here, you are a total fucking asshole and what's the matter with you????

Also, I once worked for someone with terrible allergies, and I WISH he had blown his nose constantly! Instead he just snuffled all the time.

Jessica, do you remember JZ's co-worker who complained bitterly that she was making too much noise shuffling her papers while filing?

They don't get to complain about your existence.

not your mom's socks.

Jessica - that's ridiculous. Not only should you be able to blow your nose while at work, you should feel safe doing so. I'd ask to work from home just the same. I hope you feel better soon, or that the trees nearby get a room.

Happy belated Birthday, ND! Happy Birthday, Sheryl!

I am at that point in my current project where I start to second-guess everything. Like the spelling of the word 'word'.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

try to remember that she's a fucking asshole.

Words to live by. IOW, I love Nora.

I am working on March monthly report. 2 WEEKS late!

Art Crawl!!!

Argh.

I have a. discovered I have no funds and b. discovered I owe the state money. So - now I must hope that my fed refund gets to my bank before the state gets my check... fingers crossed for me please.

They don't get to complain about your existence.

The problem is, they kind of do, because of the nature of the relationship between My Employer and This Office. This Office is not contractually obligated to let anyone from My Employer work here and can, theoretically, kick us out at any time. (Granted, doing so would more or less destroy their ability to make any money, but the threat is always there. Did I mention I want a new job????)

I love you guys, by the way.
