loads of work pouring in and i came very close to bailing just a couple of hours ago. i’m not averse to hard work but i do appreciate when that work outline is communicated properly. i’ve got the sweetest ‘boss’ in the universe - truly she would give you her eyes if you needed them but she gets these erratic blasts of pseudo-efficiency. most of the time she’s either running her attention deficit son to tennis tournaments or shrink appointments, shopping for her daughter’s sorority wardrobe, having her teeth capped or her diamond ring cleaned. it’s truly not bad because most of the time we don’t really need her and she knows that we know our shit. plus when any of us have to be away for personal reasons she’s way, way cool about it.
long story made short: i proceeded with a new project, she panicked because she thought i’d fucked up or jumped-the-gun or some such, mustering every particle of patience i possess i spelled it out, she still didn't get it because ~bless her heart~ she doesn’t really do the work, she speaks directly to the client, finds out i did everything correctly and spends the next few hours trying to explain her reasons for over reacting.
this is when my deep breathing exercises would come in handy if they worked - blood pressure probably goes down but i still want to cut loose with a primal scream.
prevention is kinder than destruction. each year over six million healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are killed as surplus. remember: neuter, spay and don't let them stray!
