Remember last month I had to reclose because I hadn't been given a big order to invoice? Well guess what? I just had to redo the Feb. statement all over again to credit the really big job I had to redo it all for in the first place!! Irritated doesn't even begin to cover it right now. And don't even get me started on March's statement. I've been working on this since 830am this morning, and I'm still waiting for a final answer on a few things from our head office.

Oh, and in amongst all this, one of the techs comes to whine at me because we're out of frickin hot chocolate! Like I bloody care! Go to the effing store and buy yourself some. Even having hot chocolate provided is a perk, not a right. The company sure doesn't pay for my tea -- I buy it myself. So go buy some damn cocoa at the damn store to hold you over till I put a supply order in. Because I'm bloody well not doing a special order just for your chocolate drink! /vent

Oh, ouch! I hate it when something like that happens. And it's all because somebody else screwed up. If it's your fault, you can be mad at yourself, but to have somebody mess it up -- boilover.

They supply such things here, but I'm fussy about my tea. I've found a peach tea that I'm really addicted to. I'm trying to teach myself to drink white tea, but unfortunately, I'm an Assam type of girl.

I love black tea, the stronger the better. I'll drink green if I'm eating Asian food, but that's about it [g]

Don't you understand we geek types need that to keep the computers running. Otherwise they start demanding human blood as payment. Haven't you seen that HP commercial with the tech guy buried beneath all the wires. The computers weren't getting their fix and started feasting on human flesh. (chuckles)

Then they can drink coffee if they're that desperate. Or go buy their own. They're grownups, and I'm not their mom. Anyway, they're not sort of tech. In their dreams.

Yeah, I'm an unsympathetic bitch :) But after cleaning up after them for 14 years, sympathy has been burned out of my blood!

Tell them winter is over and from now on only coffee and tea will be provided. Coca will return next October. Oh, wait, October is your summer. Nix that, tell them coca will be back next August when it gets cold. Then order your tea on their dime.

Girl you own the purse strings - use them!

Stamp on all their toys, then add salt and pepper to the hot chocolate.

The last few weeks I seem to be permanently in my peeved place.

Count to ten, take a deep breath, then replace their hot chocolate with gravy granules. ;p

I am totally empathising as I am dealing with an arse of a boss who won't let me do the job I was hired to do. Grr office politics, who bloody needs it hey?
Oh, wait, I do or I don't get the lovely bits of paper with the Queen's head on. Damn.

Anyway, do what I do and swear at them in ancient Egyptian, cos then nobody knows what you just said. hrwy-seth works for me (pronounced hair-oo-ee-set, it means Seth's tecticles) :D

Alternatively just picture Methos and some torture instruments, I'm sure your imagination can do the rest. :)
