I put the cur in curmudgeon

Happy Friday! Today is an especially good Friday because next week is Spring Break for most of the schools in the area. And, you know what that means–less annoying people at the office. Thank the maker.

Yesterday morning there was a message on my office phone from a manager at work asking me to explain something to her that has a)been explained by me and my boss and b)has been well documented. I left her a brusque message because she is a)stupid and b)annoying and c)told me in the message that she already had the answer from my boss but was just making sure that it was true. AND, she wrapped up her message with the “I guess you’ve left for the day” crapola because I didn’t leap onto the phone to answer it when she called. That’s what voice mail is for you numbnut–for when people are away from their desks and can’t take your mind-numbingly stupid questions. Wouldn’t you know she called me back and asked me the same question again? I’m hoping she’s going to be doing something next week with her, I’m sure they are embarrased, children.

And, since I can’t stop heaping it on her, she asked me in a meeting a couple of weeks ago if I was still working for our client. Like in their office and on a project for them. I didn’t quite know how to respond because all I could think was you are a fucking idiot–I’ve been coming to work full-time for the last 4 years at our in-common organization when would I also have time to work for them? And so the blood vessel in my forehead burst and I just blinked at her and said No. Then I proceeded with what I had to say to the rest of the group who have actually been paying attention for the last 4 years.
