I now realize this is not worth complaining about, but is anything more annoying at work than getting instructions you don't quite understand, working on something, and then getting feedback that it should basically be the thing you started with a month ago? (Not that I've been working on this for a month. Mostly I've been not-working on it.)
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Jesse I've had something of the opposite experience, where I put off doing a difficult or massive task, only to find, when I buckle down to do it, that I need more information before I can actually start, and would've realized that weeks ago if I'd started it when I should've.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Work is annoying! I am currently annoyed at the higher ups flying by saying "everything ok? Anyone need help?" or even "Good morning" so fast that by the time I turn around to respond they are gone. That does not count as interaction in my book.

There's a company here in town where the supervisors ride bicycles through the cubicle areas. It's supposed to be cool and funky and everyone I ask seems horrified when I make the comparison to the overseer on his horse riding through the cotton fields.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Yikes, chrismg! Does your apartment building have a manager that you can talk to?
In less fiery news, I have to write and submit my performance evaluation today, and shockingly I have zero desire to do the thing. How do I make myself do the thing?

OH! I just talked to my boss, and no wonder I've been confused about what she wants. I did not have a key piece of information! JFC.

Sadly, shrift, the only thing that has ever made me willing to write performance evaluations is alcohol. Which can lead to me saying things I really shouldn't. You might try alcohol for the writing of it and then proofing/editing later when stone, cold sober.
