Reason # 182 why we don't do proposals often - boss lady forgets how to do simple things like save as she's working in a document. Or she hits "paste" accidentally and freaks because her 7 page document went to 9 pages and deleted two pages. (Never mind the math where the document got two pages longer, not two pages shorter.)
THEN we have Dense Lady, who calls for boss lady who is crashing on a proposal and will not be disturbed except in emergencies (my decree). Dense Lady asks for boss lady. Dense Lady is told boss lady is unavailable. Dense Lady gets confused, because "But is she there?" Yes, but she ain't talking to you. I imagine the subsequent transfer to voicemail was also confusing.
And finally, I have PMS and woke up this morning the bitchiest of bitchy. Fear me and my wrath. And we get to do another proposal tomorrow! *twirls*
Now off to make sure we have the proper disclaimers as to whether or not we used recycled paper on the proposal. Because god forbid that gets missed and we don't get the client as a result.
ETA: And my mother with her timing...she wants me to work on her website tomorrow night (but maybe not or add some clip art or...) and she's getting waffley on Saturday's family shopping trip because my brother-in-law has to work (which is kind of what he'll be doing for many Saturdays to come with his new job) and going after his work might be a bad idea...
And all of this she wants to dicuss with ME. I hope she wasn't miffed by my response, which was an emailed reply of "Everyone else gets to decide it, because I'm too busy at work to deal with it. I'm not in the mood."
