Dude. Here's my day today:
1. Get pulled out of a conference call by our assistant, Sheila, saying "You're supposed to be on a call with R*impt person*"
This is what transpired next:
Sheila: "R is waiting for you.. You know the call in number…"
Me: *checks system* "Nope.. I don’t have it…"
*We both go over to B's desk (R's assistant) (the dept is next to mine so it wasnt far...and she knows who I am)*
Me (and Sheila): "R asked me to be on a call this very moment. Do you have the meeting R is on right now?"
B: "All AE meeting… You're not on the list.."
Me: "Right. Well, he called and I need to be on that call.. Can I please have the number?"
B: "For what? You're not on that list. He's in a meeting."
Me: "Okay.. But… he called and I need to be on that call. Can I have his cell phone number then?"
B: "He's in a meeting and wont answer.."
*getting irritated*
Me: "Okay, but he JUST CALLED me dept looking for me..."
B: "What are you supposed to talk to him about?"
Me: *hurriedly talking in disbelief of how defiant she's being* "I don’t know… either ___ or ____ …but it's not on my system."
B: "I don’t know… He's on All AFE call now..so….."
Me: "Is Corey or Stewart on that call?"
B: "No."
Me: "Can I please just have the number?"
She reluctantly gives it to me…. I call in and find R, Corey and Stewart (vice president) WAITING ON ME. Nice.
THEN, I get back to my office to review those video clips I had our tech dept make. They guy who did them....get this...used his VIDEO CAMERA to record the television. Yes, I am serious. So, now I have to contract out to have this done...in 24 hours. Please keep in mind this is not really a typical job task.. I have no idea how I got saddled with this.
I have a meeting with one of the VPs in about 15 minutes so I am practicing harnessing my chi. hahahaha...
I like stress. I just HATE when people CAUSE it by their ineptness.
I need a cute dress for my birthday. That will make me feel better. *sigh* I have to call the student loan people today. So basically, my day is going to be full of stress and incompetency.

OMG! I hate that! I don't understand why people act like that. I think its because they have little power and are trying to grab it where ever they can. Our receptionist tries to pull that sh*t and it irrates the f*ck out of me. I wish you would've said "give me the damn number, let him decide to not pick up my phone call."
Ugh.
Oh, tell the student loan people that you've been making payments. When they tell you haven't ask to speak with someone else so you can get this resolved. Maybe you can gain a few extra months while they look for mystery payments.
dude. why would she give you so much shit about that? makey no sense. harness that chi, pretty girl. : )
geez. I would've lost my cool.
TOTALLY lost it.
good for you for being factual and not breaking out a can of haterade. and yes, I said that for your amusement. :)
Just toxic, word for the week...lol
Have a better week!
