Just grow the damn balls already. Back when I lived in apartments with shared laundry facilities, I gave people maybe 5-10 minutes’ grace on the ends of their loads. After that, I’d find a clean spot to dump their clothes and take over the washer or dryer they were hogging. What are they gonna do, beat you up? I never once had anyone retaliate on me for pulling their clothes out when they’d just left them sitting at the end of a cycle.

You wanted to host a breakfast briefing in our market to promote your practice’s services. Great, I’m more than happy to arrange the space and catering and be your on-site person that day to help facilitate the meeting. But I made it *fucking clear *to you that *you *and *your *admin would be responsible for putting together the invitation, sending the invites, handling the RSVPs, et cetera. You know why? Because this is your fucking briefing, so you and your fucking admin should handle it. So why is it that now, a month from the date, I’m getting fucking sucked in to doing all of the work of assembling a list of people to invite, sending the invitations, and handling the RSVPs? It would be one thing if your AA just didn’t have the capacity–my workload is spurty, and I’m happy to step up and pitch in. But you just handed this shit off to me because she, as far as I can tell, is too fucking retarded to figure it out on her own and too scared to just ask for help.

$5 says I end up having to produce all the materials, too.

Shit.

Oh, awesome job, why do you have to be 2 hours away? Please oh please work with the agency so I can at least do a partial telecommute - because the huge raise this job would represent would be a welcome addition to my depleted bank fund.

We have two mini-rant threads going now - whaddya say we shut this monstrosity down?

I fucking *knew *it. “[SFG] does a fantastic job and will help us with materials, equipment, food and anything else we need to nail this. She has sent out the invitations.”

I was under the impression that the other one didn’t really *want *to be one. **Skald **wasn’t too thrilled about it, anyway.

Nevertheless, it’s the circle of life. I’m going to close this one so the new one can live!
