Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You know, there is NOTHING I can do when the higher-ups in the Editorial Office say "Stephanie did not sent the article to the author, because I checked our database and there is no record that she did so," even though the fucking database shows that I sent the article on 3 separate dates because the author refuses to respond to us. Like, I would need to go to Chicago and press the EIC's face against the monitor and point to the goddamn emails and say "WHAT ARE THOSE, RONNIE? THOSE LOOK LIKE EMAILS WITH MY NAME ON THEM. WHAT IS YOUR GODDAMN SHIT TODAY?"
(I woke up an hour early this morning with a full-blown panic attack, and while Ativan got the panic under control, I cannot shake the overwhelming agitation, and this bullshit is bullshit I do not need today, ESPECIALLY because it's fucking incorrect, and provably so. I am about to take screenshots of all the emails and send them to Ronnie, along with a suggestion to visit a fucking eye doctor. But I shouldn't have to take screenshots, because the emails are in the database that we ALL have access to. They are RIGHT FUCKING THERE.)
Don't come at me, Ronnie. DON'T DO IT.

I forgot to bring my personal stash of decaf coffee in today so I'm hitting the office regular stuff. I think I might need a second cup. I was way more awake before I got here.

Follow-up: "The emails are not in the database. Please send the file."
Reply: "See attached."
Not replied "You ignorant motherfucker."
I mean, I can re-send the file, but if it's not showing up in the database, then Ronnie won't believe that I re-sent it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Ronnie is the worst.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They should believe that you resent it, though! (Sorry, I just always want to make re-sent/resent wordplay, and never have an actual opportunity to do so.)
My lunch had too much onion and garlic, and unrelatedly, I don't feel like working. Now you're all caught up on me!

Every time I typed the hyphen, I was all "I resent the SHIT out of this!"
