work can be evil

Had a horrible, horrible day at work.

My boss was in town today and she just has this really unique way of stressing me the fuck out. GAH.

Normally she works out of our Los Angeles office so it’s just us minions here in San Francisco working on the projects she gives us. (Advertising does have some perks — we have access to really great pictures and it’s completely normal for anyone to be playing with PhotoShop throughout the day. yay.) Anyway, today is one of my boss’s designated days here in the Bay Area and she spent most of it dropping work in my inbox tray and then emailing me 5 minutes later asking if it was done yet. Ugh. First of all, it takes much longer than 5 minutes to do research, compile the findings into some sort of presentation, and then print and bind the darn thing. I mean, the printing alone can take 5 minutes! Crazy woman. Then, of course, she kept coming over to my desk over and over to check on the progress of the presentation, which is so annoying. Not to mention extremely distracting. I mean, I *know* there’s a deadline and I *know* I need to finish it as soon as possible — so there’s really no need to hover over my desk the whole damn time. AND all the while she kept giving me OTHER projects to work on that all needed to be finished at the same time because you know, I’m SuperHuman. She made me want to scream and cry all at the same time.

Or you know, maybe I’m just being dramatic because it’s that time of the month. Yes yes yes, too much info. Too bad for you. Humph.

  1. Aw Kel, I’m so sorry you had such a bad day. (I mean, I know it’s bad when you swear, because I’ve never heard [seen?] you cuss you before). But I wish I had a job where I could play on Photoshop all day. I mean, I do it everyday as it is, but no one’s paying me for it, LOL.

  2. I’m sorry about the sucky day, Kel. I remember work sucking when I had a job.

  3. Sorry to hear about your bad day. My boss hovering over me like that would make me very nervous too. I handle stress pretty well but constant nagging like that just drives me crazy, so I feel for ya, hon! Hope tomorrow is much better! 🙂

  4. I hope she runs into a frying pan. Gargkjdf and of course she’s your boss so you have to be all nice when really you just want to kill her, right? Heh. Oh well, I’m sure the projects will turn out great anyway. 😀

  5. *hugs* I’m sorry you had a bad day Kel. I hope it gets better tomorrow.
    Kudos on the dc caps *goes and steals them…for Aisle3b of course*

    Hugs,
    Tams
