Oh, hey, after I told her "I will manage my workload as I see fit" she left me alone. That's nice.

My manager did give me a mild "be nice" instruction, but I also took the opportunity to explain that some people are confused.

Tell you what, I'll come deal with your crankypants/clueless developer, if you come deal with my fellow writer who has been repeatedly told that we DON'T USE BOLD OR ITALIC TAGGING in our content, but still doesn't get it.

eeeee!

I walked 9 blocks to first grade. I was six at the most, started kindergarden at 4. (Dec Birthday). The only time it ever caused a problem was some teacher showed us a film on how important was to stop and smell the flowers. There were a lot of flowers along the route to school, so next day I stopped to sniff them all and got to school two hours late.

Oy Consuela. That is NOT a tactful way to share that information.

Typo,

I read that the boss was trying to be helpful.

But was this his way of letting her know her job was in jeopardy? Cause if so, it still seems tactless - even though the intentions were helpful. Says - sometimes the king of well intentioned tactlessness

No. I've been waiting for over a year for them to post the position so I could apply for it as a regular federal employee. (And hopefully outscore the dozens of veterans who will also apply.)

I've spent the last two years as a contractor, which is not an efficient use of taxpayer money.

Dear co-worker, I am going to disable the parentheses keys on your keyboard. Stop putting parenthetical asides in technical docs.

OMG, Consuela -- I thought this day would never come!

Vibing hard that you'll outscore them all.
