"Oh my god, what do you MEAN you didn't get the e-mail? This is

[eyesroll]

vital information and my client MUST have it to you immediately."


E-mail in question: Some company awarded said client with a "supplier of the year" award. :party:


Dear lord I am sick of this job and that everyone thinks everything is life or death.

Less than two months left...

1. what makes you think any other job is any different?

Dont you know ALL PROJECTS are top priority?!?!?

I think the business world is full of fucking 4 year olds who all want their stuff NOW NOW NOW!

:grr:

[eyesroll]

3. Well, yeah, but at least the subject matters will be different.

I'm going to law school, studying the constitution and elder/health care law, so maybe there will be some life-or-death things to do in my next career. Even if the bulk of it is paper-pushing and fact-checking.

2. Lemme guess

You work in PR.




...and deliver us from eee-vill...

4. Close -- trade publishing.

I realized I was in the wrong field when my publisher sat us all down and started freaking out: "HOW DO WE CONVINCE THE ADVERTISERS THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT?!?!!"

Yes, the work that my readers do is important; you wouldn't want to live or work without them.

That's not the "this" in question.

The "this" was a special section about lord knows what, and in the grand scheme of things, it was not important at all.


The PR lady just called back -- she couldn't find her news release on our Web site. It's because she checked the day her press release was dated, but didn't bother to check the next day (when it was posted -- it was received after-hours).

7. I've been on the other end of that

Newspaper editor.

I feel your pain. :hug:

5. Don't worry, there will be far less histrionics and hyperbole when you...

...step up to the Bar.





You loony.

[eyesroll]

6. I'm hoping that the histrionics/hyperbole will be over something more

relevant, at least.

(Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. Maybe I'll go into my own practice, so at least the hyberbole comes from me, and people whose fees are directly paying my bills instead of sending some partner to Aruba.)

:crazy:

8. Your public anti-Aruba bias has been clear for some time...

...and you, madam, are crossing the line into "actionable".
