So you'd be open to a Liberace-inspired ghoul, then?

I guess so. Problem is, I might catch fire.

Things That Piss Me Off:

Being in a position most people consider non-critical, unimportant, and often beneath their notice.

...until you go on vacation and everyone flies into a fucking panic with absolutely crucial things they need and have no idea how to do themselves, resulting in you spending four hours working. On your day off.

TL;DR -- Being an executive assistant.

Be nice to your admins, people. They handle more of your shit than you know.

Most decent folks would have the fucking backbone to tell the sad-eyed girl: sorry babe I have plans today; dick later?

Noooooooooooooo. Not here. That is not the way that we are wired/raised. Being secretely/underhandedly shitty to someone? Absolutely. That is par for the course. Being even the tiniest bit rude to someone's face will abdolutely, without a doubt get met with ostracism and scorn.

Rural Indiana is a weird place. We will absolutely fucking you over, just never to your face, or without a smile/"Bless your heart."

@Derp
Indiana, that's close too. I shall remember this for drinking (I won't remember)

I spent most my adult life as an executive admin, so I get this. Seriously the place use to fall apart if I took a day off.

Double post!

Eye rolling. I considered slapping the almost four year old for it. --- Don't worry, I did not do this, but I really really really wanted to.

Can confirm. The kitchen table gossip over a tenderloin sandwich is real.

Edit: Damn it, now I want a pork tenderloin.

Pandora

So, I pay the £6 or whatever it is to email an immigration specialist back in June to ask a simple question. They don't respond, and then 5 days later I get an email survey thanking me for using the service and asking for my feedback. I low-score them like crazy and comment that no one ever responded. So they apologize and respond with the simple answer to my simple question. (It was, in fact, a Yes or No question).

Now it's July, I've had my bio-metrics appointment, I've forked over the thousands upon thousands of dollars required for this whole process, and it turns out that 'Yes' or 'No' question I paid 6 quid for was answered INCORRECTLY and may delay my visa by up to 6 weeks. I'll find out on Monday if there's a workaround but I'm just about ready to lose the cool I already do not have.

@Pandora That seriously blows. I'm sorry you have to put up with that kind of stupid. There's a reason I default to bureaucrazy as an intentional spelling lately, and that is a damn fine summary of why.

...five days with no sleep. FML.

...knowing that sleeping for 2 days straight once this shit wears off is not permitted by, oh, life in general. FMLx2.

@surreality

Meth is bad, m'kay?

@Derp Irony: this is hydrocodone. Which knocks normally people flat to snooze off whatever. Me? Nawp. All the awake all the times. So glad yesterday was the last of it. I'mma sleep all tomorrow if I can. Dumbest biochemistry ever.

At lower doses it keeps me awake. Higher doses, zzz.

@Paris It is a long term known thing. Messed with me since I was a kid. #1 reason that despite knowing all manner of folk with various interests in recreational drugs of nearly all kinds at some point or another, you really just couldn't pay me enough to ever try.

Paris

I'm on Oxy 5 times a day, I'm pretty normal aside from some insomnia if I stay under 6. I don't like how drowsy I get if I take more, especially since my breath slows down. How the fuck Rush limbaugh took like 40 a day is beyond me, I've been at my dosage for 2 years.

Yep, I respond weird to most drugs and have to be a tee-totaler in real life.

Jaded

Do not demand changes to how I create the documents for the company and then blame me for those changes not being made a long time ago, because they have been wrong the whole time, when you are the one who outlined how they were supposed to be made to begin with.

Seriously fuck off with that shit.

Ghost

I'm working from home today and my cat is being 45 degrees of needy. WTF.

Meg

@Ghost maybe she doesn't feel well. my cats get needy when their stomachs are upset or etc.

Ghost

@Meg I went out on the patio to have a cigarette and my cat is scratching on the door like I'm on fire and he wants to help make the fire go away.

I've got a really codependent cat.

Our cats should get together and bug the fuck out of each other. I've had to fend mine off all morning.
