SHOUTING THREAD!!! (WITH BONUS BOLD TEXT!!!) →[More:] IF ONE MORE PERSON FROM THE BUSINESS OFFICE COMES IN HERE TO TELL ME ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG WITH THIS PROJECT, I AM GOING TO JUMP OUT OF MY WINDOW.

YES! I KNOW THAT IT WASN'T DONE CORRECTLY! I KNOW THAT THE GRAD STUDENT FUCKED UP, AND THAT SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE INITIATED THE WHOLE THING TO BEGIN WITH, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE *HAD* INITIATED IT UNTIL SOMEONE TOLD ME, "OH, BY THE WAY, WE NEED TO HIRE THESE 12 UNDERGRAD STUDENTS. HERE'S THE LIST. THEY START MONDAY."

IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, PEOPLE! IN A BIG BUREAUCRACY, YOU DON'T SAY "YOU'RE HIRED" AND SNAP YOUR FINGERS AND HAVE IT MAGICALLY BE SO! THERE ARE ABOUT 12 BILLION STEPS TO TAKE FIRST, AND NO ONE EVEN GAVE ME ENOUGH WARNING TO DO THE FIRST 11,999,999,999 OF THEM!

YES! I KNOW IT'S FUCKED UP! YES I KNOW THAT! DON'T YOU SEE THAT I'M THE ONE WHO'S BEEN TRYING TO FIX IT?!?

SO IF ANY MORE OF YOU COME IN HERE AND SAY "JUST SO YOU KNOW..." OR "HEY, JUST FYI...," VERY BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN

MY DEAR BOSS JUST LET ME RANT AT HIM IN THE RAIN, THOUGH, EVEN THOUGH I MADE HIM LATE FOR A MEETING. AND LAST WEEK HE BROUGHT ME GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. SO AT LEAST HE'S SYMPATHETIC AND ON MY SIDE.

BUT SERIOUSLY IF ANYONE ELSE COMES IN HERE AND USES THE 'WORD' "FYI" AT ME, VERY BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

I AM HAVING A SIMILARLY TERRIBLE DAY.
WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE PEOPLE SOLUTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS IN A POLITE WAY THEY JUST SNAPPED AT ME AND WERE A-HOLES AND I WAS LIKE I AM TRYING TO HELP AND THEY WERE LIKE OH YEAH THAT IS A GOOD IDEA AND I WAS LIKE I KNOW SO JUST TAKE IT AND LISTEN TO ME THE FIRST TIME. ALSO STOP YELLING AND SNAPPING AT ME BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY PERSON HERE WHO IS TRYING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD INSTEAD OF FINDING REASONS TO HOLD THINGS UP AND DON'T YOU KNOW THE DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY AND WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED SO JUST STF UP ALREADY!

ALSO THERE IS ANOTHER GUY WHO I SCREWING EVERYTHING UP AND HE SHOULD BE FIXING THE BUDGETS THAT IDIOT WOMAN MESSED UP BUT INSTEAD HE JUST SITS THERE AND HE ACTUALLY SAID "A BUDGET IS A STORY"
NO IT ISN'T! A BUDGET IS NUMBERS TO WORK WITH SO WE CAN GET SCHEDULES DONE AND PEOPLE HIRED AND PROJECTS STARTED AND SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR STORY NO ONE WNTS TO HEAR IT JUST SAY YES OR NO TO THE NUMBERS WE GAVE YOU AND THE DETAILED REASONING BEHIND WHY WE NEED THEM.

ALSO I CRIED AT WORK TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3+ YEARS AND THEN MY BOSS YELLED AT SOMEONE FOR ME WHICH WAS NICE BUT THEN HE GOT IN TROUBLE FOR THAT AND IT TURNED INTO AN EVEN BIGGER SHITSTORM.

I WANT OUT!!!!!!!

ALSO ONE OF THE FEW GOOD PEOPLE LEFT WHO WASN'T LAID OFF IS LEAVING AND THERE IS HARDLY ANYONE LEFT HERE WHO KNOWS THINGS WHICH MAKES MY JOB EVEN HARDER!

AND PEOPLE KEEP BUGGING ME ABOUT THINGS FOR DECEMBER AND I AM LIKE HOLD ON ABOUT THAT BECAUSE CANT YOU SEE I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HUGE THING THAT I KEEP ASKING YOU EXTENSIONS FOR BECAUSE WE ARE SO BUSY AND THE JERK IS SO LATE WITH HER CRAP?

2 OUT OF THE 4 BATHROOMS ARE BROKEN AND LEAKING INTO THE HALL.

THERE IS NO MONEY FOR ANYTHING AND I HAVE TO SOMEHOW TRY TO BALANCE THESE BUDGETS AND GET PEOPLE TO WORK ON THESE PROJECTS BUT I HAVE TO LOWBALL EVERYONE AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO JUST GOT LAID OFF AND I REALLY LIKE THEM AND I DONT WANT TO OFFER THEM CRAPPY RATES THAT THEY ARE WORTH MORE THAN BUT I DONT KNOW HOW ELSE TO GET THIS CRAP DONE REMOTELY ON BUDGET.
ALSO HOW DID I END UP HAVING TO DO THE BUDGET THAT AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE ME STARTED AND ARE ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR AND I AM NOT BUILT FOR THIS AND I DIDNT GO TO BUSINESS SCHOOL AND I AM AN EDITOR AND THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR AND HOW DID I GET STUCK WITH THE CRAPPIEST PART OF THIS?

ALL I WANT TO DO IS EAT PIZZA AND WATCH 16 AND PREGNANT AND GO HOME AND SAY BYE TO MY BF BEFORE HE LEAVES BUT I AM STUCK HERE AND I WILL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND I HATE THIS AND NONE OF IT IS WORTH IT!

MY TUMMY HURTS! THIS IS NOT FAIR!

I'D BEEN HAVING SUCH A GOOD STREAK OF 'EXCELLENT' DAYS AND THEN I WENT AND CHECKED MY GRADES LAST NIGHT AND WAS COMPLETELY SHOT TO SHIT BY FAILING ONE OF MY HUGE ASS ASSIGNMENTS FOR INFOTECH. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WHEN THE PROF PUTS DOWN 'YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT'--THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW YOU COMPLETELY FUCKED EVERYTHING TO SHIT.

I CAN'T HELP BUT ACTUALLY CARE. I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THIS BECAUSE EVERY TIME I START TO ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING--IT JUST FALLS THE FUCK APART. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP. I DON'T WANT TO PROVE THEM RIGHT, TO PROVE THAT I'M REALLY JUST A LAZY FUCKUP THAT JUST DOESN'T WORK HARD ENOUGH.

OF COURSE, NOW THERE'S AN UNRELATED MEETING TOMORROW MORNING AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE LOTS OF SHOUTING AND ANGRYNESS AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT UP WITH IT AND I KNOW THAT POPS KNOWS THIS AND THAT'S WHY HE'S PRETTY MUCH JUST DONE ALL MY WORK FOR THIS MEETING (AND THE ANNUAL ONE) FOR ME. AND I KNOW THAT I CAN TRY AND FOOL MYSELF INTO THINKING THAT THIS IS HIM ACTUALLY CARING FOR ME AND TRYING TO HELP ME GET THINGS IN ORDER BECAUSE HE CAN TELL THAT I'M JUST FEELING BEAT UP AND SAD BUT I KNOW THAT IN REALITY--IT'S BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT I WILL JUST FUCK IT UP AND THAT IT'S EASIER FOR HIM JUST TO DO IT HIS OWN DAMN SELF INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR HIS FUCKUP OF A DAUGHTER TO PUT OUT A FAILING PRODUCT.

THIS BOY IS DUMB! HE'S A PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE DIPSHIT, AND HE'S NOT WORTH MY TIME, AND YET I'M STILL A LITTLE HUNG UP ON HIM, BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO BEING AN ASS, HE'S ALSO CUTE AND FUNNY AND CHARMING. ALSO I HAVE TO SEE HIM TWICE A WEEK UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH JUNE, AND THAT'S NOT HELPING MATTERS. RAAAAAAAAAARGH.

I EMAILED MY LAWYER IN JANUARY THAT IT WAS TIME TO GO AFTER THE DESIGNER WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME AND SHE CLAIMED SHE NEVER GOT IT. I LEFT A PHONE MESSAGE LAST NIGHT DETAILING MY NEEDS AND SHE ACTED LIKE SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.SHE IS THE ONE WHO TOLD ME I HAD BEEN DOUBLE CHARGED!!!!! AND SHE'S ACTING LIKE SHE AND THE DESIGNER ARE BFFS.....I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER HEARING THE LAWYER TELL ME "WHAT A BITCH" AFTER THEY HAD DISCUSSED MY ISSUES FOR THE FIRST TIME. DESIGNER HAD BEEN LAWYER'S CLIENT AT ONE TIME, BUT LAWYER TOLD ME "SHE CUT HER OFF" AND HER LEGAL MATTER WAS NEVER RESOLVED.

I HAVEN'T SLEPT WELL IN MONTHS!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ELSA!!!

OUR NEIGHBOR DOWN THE HALL HAD HER PLACE COMPLETELY FLOODED BY THE CONDO UPSTAIRS NOT ONCE BUT TWICE DUE TO NEGLIGENT & INCOMPETENT CONTRACTORS RENOVATING THE UNIT UPSTAIRS. BOTH TIMES THEY FUCKED UP THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM FOR THE ENTIRE BUILDING & INCURRED HUGE FINES FROM THE CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT SET OFF THE ALARMS.

SHE IS LIVING IN A HOTEL WITH HER 2 CATS A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HERE. THE GOOD NEWS? SHE ASKED ME TO DESIGN HER NEW KITCHEN WHICH THE INSURANCE & CONTRACTOR ARE PAYING FOR, SO WE GOT A MUCH NEEDED PROJECT!!!!

ALSO, OTTO IS SNORING LOUDLY ON HIS BED.

GIANT WHUFFLES & FRESH OATMEAL CHOC CHIP COOKIES TO ALL HERE HAVING POOPY DAYS!
