A Forgotten Subject Line is Still Not a Subject Line (ETA)

[sisabet]

I am posting here because I think Sid just did something in the bedroom and I am really dreading going in there and dealing with it. Also, I am a terrible pet carer-of-er because this has happened. Also, I missed two pages from work last night at 1:30a because I got home from work at 1am and fell onto the couch and as anyone who has ever spent any amount of time with me knows: I am a very sound sleeper.

Also - I have given my work very clear boundaries and very clear expectations and everytime I think they will respect that shit - they pull something new. The latest? My boss is finally back from leave yesterday. Yesterday they told her they are eliminating her position and offered her another one on campus. This means they have decided since we struggled through the last three months, we do not need a direct supervisor to aid us.

I boggle. Maybe I'll get FIRED for not answering those pages last night?

*is hopeful*

Meanwhile, I have discovered the ONLY way to really get any attention and relief there is just to screw up in phenomenol ways the extra shit they burden me with. Example? They had me doing timecards for 30 employees - some of these people I have never ever met. I fucked up the system so badly last pay period that HR decided it would be less work to do the cards themselves (gee, ya think?) and now I am back to just editing and approving the timecards for the 10 employees I directly supervise. I could cry, I am so relieved.

Actually, I did cry.

But, I learned an important lesson and that was: Passive Aggressiveness Pays. I have no idea how much work I could have avoided if only I had embraced this sooner. Directly saying "Hey, I am overwhelmed and one step from quitting and need help and A, B and C are things you can do right now to help me do my actual job" does NOT WORK. Being deliberately incompetant and JUST NOT DOING SHIT PAPERWORK will get attention. And help.

Who the fuck knew?

What I do know? I LOVE MY DVR. And he loves me. He does not yet have a name, but I haven't had a relationship this fulfilling since I got a programmable coffee-maker.

Tonight when I come home beat down from work? My DVR will have a perfectly preserved episode of Supernatural for me. FOR ME!

With DEAN! AND HIS DEAN-PAIN!!! AND SAM! WITH HIS SAMMYNESS!!! And there might be scary stuff and then other stuff!

AND I AM STILL GEN!!! ME! I AM GEN FOR THIS!!!

I don't even *believe* in gen. No. I mean it. I am the Anti-Gen.

*avoids taraljc's narrowed eyes*

Also, in the last three weeks I may or may not have:

1. Crashed Winchestercon (and totally missed seeing some very important people I wanted to see or see more of!) but spent the night with sockkpuppett and killabeez and was bowled away by the graciousness of their suite mates and also? The cosmos? THEY FLOWED, man. I'm still a bit hungover. Also, I think there were these pictures of Dean/Jensen Ackles in a Men's Health magazine that were almost indecent even though he was fully clothed but I am certain I dreamed it. Also: Still Gen.

2. Had an absolut3destiny on my couch and forced him to watch "Invisible Man" and join in discussions with me and sweetestdrain about how adorable Darien and Bobby are. We also may or may not have made him listen/watch/discuss that one time Justin and Brian (from QafUS) broke up. If we did, it is only because he should have KNOWN better than to ask that particular question.

3. Kidnapped and/or WHISKED heresluck to a fantabulous lunch and had a wonderful few short hours explaining to her exactly why REO Speedwagon's "Roll with the Changes" is TOTALLY the perfect vid for SG1's Jack and Daniel and why I finally fell for the pairing (short answer: Barkley, Daniel, Reba - Now I GET Daniel).

4. Written my resignation letter and put it in my work binder, undated, just so I can have it on hand when my moment is reached.

5. Ripped up #4 cause I, apparently, am in an abusive relationship with my job and it promised to *change*

Feel free to guess what actually happened. In fact, tell me other things I might or might not have done in the past three weeks. It will be fun!!!

Um. Then we may have had the same dream. Cause damn. Yeah. Right. Okay. Nevermind.

*Is still insane*

Your job is a lying bastard. He is probably having an affair. If you are very, very lucky, he will dump you for someone else and forget that he left his motercycle in your garage.

Ohmygod, I miss you so much when you don't post.

Also, I think you need to fire this job, because it is not good for you and it doesn't even look half as good as Dean Winchester in tight jeans.

Oh, that figures. I've been there for four years, and the minute I'm out of the fandom, you're in. *snort*

[heresluck]

You went ON and ON about all these fandoms for which I don't give two pins, AND THEN you added REO Speedwagon to the mix. And yet I still love you! Clearly I'm a sucker for pretty girls with crazy sincere enthusiasms.
