Somedays I get so confused

On the good side: I have gaucho pants. *twirls* They are fabulous and comfortable and forgiving and sexy, all at once. And don't make my calves look terribly scrawny.

***

On the bad side: I finally got that meeting scheduled for my boss. All parties are free and clear at the chosen time, yadda yadda.

What does she email me to ask me this morning? (Just for note, the meeting was with a magazine, one of the few things I did know.)

Terrific. Will they be doing the story then? Photography? Or is this the “set up “ discussion?

*boggles*

But...but...all she did was ask me to reschedule a meeting. I have no clue! She didn't give me any details, any anything to go off of. All I knew is that there was a meeting, it had to be rescheduled, I finally managed that. Photography? WTF? Story? Hey, I thought they were doing a story given the fact that they were meeting! Gah! God forbid they tell me more.

I would like to point out that my "surprised" mood makes me chuckle every time.

Whinging

I really want something else to do but complain about work in my LJ.

But good GOD, when they do stupid crap. Here's the most recent conversation between me and a coworker we'll call "Vernon".

PHONE RINGS

VERNON: Hey, Heather, did you know there are two carpet cleaning guys back here?

ME: Uh, yeah. (Because I'm going to randomly miss two guys with heavy machinery walking off the elevator while I'm sitting right in front of it.)

VERNON: Is this something sanctioned by [Head Boss 1] or [Head Boss 2] or [Office Manager]?

ME: Uh, yeah. (Oh no, I just let them come in off the street and randomly start cleaning because it is their calling. And it's free!)

VERNON: Well, why are they here at 3:00 on Friday?

ME: You'd rather they be here at 10:00 on Monday morning? (It's not like you're sitting back there doing anything worthwhile anyway.)

VERNON: But couldn't this be done after hours?

ME: It would cost too much. (But if you're willing to take it out of your salary with a two-year-old and a baby on the way, feel free!)
