Office Work, Part Deux: Professional Mayhen

[AK Michelle]

Quote:
Not this sister. She used me as an emotional dumpster, calling for HOURS everyday because she hated living in Portland. Then when she moved back, she didn't tell me she was here, she just stopped calling.

When she married her DH, she called and asked which weekend she should have it on. I told her either 1 or 2, but not 3, because I have to travel for work that weekend. Of course, she had the wedding on #3, and then told everyone I was boycotting the wedding because I hated her husband. She also tells everyone who will listen the "Romeo and Juliet" story of their love, embellished with tales about how I tried to keep them apart.

Which I didn't.

I merely suggested she DATE people when she started college, rather than shacking up with the first person to ever ask her out. I never interjected any more opinion than that, even though I think a freshman in college should NOT settle down with her manager at Subway. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in love at first sight. Still... how can you know someone is perfect for you, if you have never even been on a date with someone who is not?

Exactly!

And after being married for 15 long years to someone who's NOT, It was ridiculously easy to see the one that IS. We still haven't even KNOWN each other for a whole year and look at all the fun we're having

Total bliss....

No, you can eat snacks with us, just not if there are under-agers present. We'll have GOOD snacks for you!

Got cheese, apples and dark chocolate if someone else has the wine.

You're all nicer than me. Pb crackers, old bread and water is the entire menu at my place. I hate kids, so if the teenagers starve to death, no worries here.

Had worst meeting ever earlier. It was training gone wild. It was like somebody took the training manual, gave it 3 pitchers of margies and then watched it take its top off and jiggle for the camera. Stupidity abounds here.

Afterwards, I emailed half the meeting people and gave them 1 paragraph of explanation and a screenshot and they all went oooooooooooooooh, now I get it.

That's why I make the big bucks

Need addys. Please PM.

I promise not to fire-bomb houses.

Also, I tried to jump in mid-meeting to help explain....but all the people who think they know what they're doing wouldn't shut the hell up so I could get a word in edgewise....and it was being videotaped for future training so I couldn't threaten death upon them all.

Sigh.

Blackberry merlot, here I cooooooome.

I would never feed you nasty snacks. I would only do that to teenagers, most of them have no taste at all - Doritos are a good case in point.

Does it involve alcohol, chocolate or mass quantities of cha-ching?
