Today has been eventful. Very eventful. Monumentally eventful.
So far today I have:
- Ironed a shirt, including starch.
- Put together a book for a meeting that's roughly 400 pages long.
- Had my boss call me 5 times in 2 minutes concerned about: the chairs for the meeting, the CDs for the meeting, the number of people coming to the meeting, the chairs again, and lastly, the fact that I'm too stingy to share the work load.
- Created CD labels.
- Recreated CD labels.
- Answered phone calls from crazy people with annoying voices.
- Was forced to remove pages from 400 page book because of misspellings.
- Burned 9 CDs on a very slow computer (taking up 45 minutes of my day).
- Proofed 6 ads.
- Typed copy.
- Was informed that, due to no one giving me one document to proof, the CDs had to be reburned.
- Refrained from bodily throwing coworker out the window.
- Got pizza, which helped.
- Refrained from bodily throwing arrogant woman out window.
- Decided to take break.

Word of advice: the quickest route to pissing off a southern woman is to call and in a snotty tone say "I need extension 2-2. I'm calling from New York."
Bitch.
Okay, first off? Anyone would get pissed that you're using your location as some sign of superiority. So you're from New York. There are plenty of people in New York far more special than you woman.
Secondly, whoopededoo. You know where you are! Cookie for you! *growl* I don't buy that shit.
Thirdly, this is the south woman. We've been jeered at and made fun of by northerners for years. The only northerners allowed to make fun of us to our faces have to be close personal friends (relatives aren't necessarily allowed, because we may not like the relatives). So being a snooty Yankee has the opposite effect of what you desire when trying to intimidate a southern woman. We just get really stubborn and even more snooty back. Laced with sugar of course.
