even fridays have to be earned

i have a teleconference next week..

have the files i don't even know, but that's ok. i said i will figure them out on monday because i am busy doing work today (for someone else)

and then, the prize winning employee of the decade said:

"oh one of those files should have been closed ages ago"

i said, "oh, so it hasn't?"

and the PWEotD said:

"no, there were all these actions that needed to be done. did you do it?"

i said, "no, i haven't received any notifications, i haven't even looked at it."

and then it (because SHE would imply that this was a human) said:

"oh, just shut it down. otherwise the client will be so angry."

i said, "but u just said there are actions outstanding!"

and it said:

"it should be ok, just shut it."

and i said, "i'll just explain to her at the teleconference that i will complete them shortly and shut it. i don't have time today plus i don't want to wind up in trouble shutting down something i didn't even know about"

and my throat started burning and my head was throbbing and i wanted to turn into a dragonball creature and throw a fireball at her so she could feel how i feel

this episode is in my "what not to do" series now..

i emailed tian and told her that i too now have an ABC or XYZ of my very own. she is the entire alphabet.

lucky lucky me.

where are you karma?
