today’s fuck factor: HIGH

I had a very day.
Very bad.
Awful.
So the fuck factor today has been labeled HIGH.

What this means: I am cranky. I want to maim people. So stay out of my way.

The coworker knows when the insider is having a HFF day. I am very obvious. And she’s worked with me long enough to know when she shouldn’t antagonize me.

Today, she decided to ignore that and press on.

One lovely little thing was an email that said “post something funny on your blog.”

Now here’s the thing. I am insanely busy lately. We have major projects to do and to top it off, we had to run labs today. Labs where dumb and annoying people come to test the websites we design. (I am allowed to call them dumb and annoying because I am a designer and it’s my damn prerogative.) When we run these labs, someone from the head office always comes down. Typically it’s the Big Boss, but today, it was this woman who helps run the other side of the business… the one that makes money that we never fucking see. Anyway, she’s absolutely, unbelievably annoying—and she made the day hit the HFF within an hour. And she talks all the damn time—about things that have NOTHING to do with work. Normally I work with headphones in and the coworker knows she needs to bang on the wall or email me to get my attention. The chick from Main? She kept talking. I had both headphones in and I wasn’t looking at her and she was STILL TALKING. Annoying, fucking annoying.

All this together makes for a HFF day. So when the coworker emails me and tells me to “post something funny,” I almost decked her. I believe I instead sent a sarcastic email. I don’t recall.

We hashed this out after the chick from Main left—8PM. As I did her eye makeup (Seriously, I’m pissed off—partially at you—and you trust me to put makeup on your face? Crazy girl), we grouched and she told me to write about it. So yeah. There ya go. Hysterical, I know. I bet you’re all just rolling in your seats.

Stupid day.

Is it that surprising that this is the only thing that made me laugh today?

  5. Confucius say,”Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.”

    Confucius’ wife say, “Me love you, long time. Five dolla, all it take.”

  6. Lavrenty Beria say, “take that you muthafucka!”

    and injects a .22 shell in the base of God’s spine.

    Then takes his secretary on the alter.

    It’s a good thing ole Lavrenty’s dead.

    See, this blog runs on my time. And insider time CANNOT be messed with.

    I would try to explain it to you mere mortals, but we Goddess Saints can’t be bothered by such trivial things.

    Comment by Augustus — November 11, 2005 @ 2:18 pm

  37. Like I said, don’t try to understand it.

    And Augie, that’s because I don’t control the rain dearie. That’s one of the other gods. Tsk, tsk

    Comment by wendykat — November 11, 2005 @ 2:28 pm

  39. Are you not friendly with the other Gods? Looks like the other Gods don’t like you…couldn’t you just call Zeus..

    You God are so narcissistic

    Comment by Augustus — November 11, 2005 @ 4:34 pm

  40. *Gods

    Comment by Augustus — November 11, 2005 @ 4:34 pm

  41. Yes, we gods have many issues.

    Zeus and I have been fighting for millenia. The bastard.

    Comment by the insider — November 11, 2005 @ 4:36 pm

  42. shhh augie, don’t bring him up. he still hasn’t returned her call.

    Comment by wendykat — November 11, 2005 @ 4:40 pm

  43. One of the Titans told me about the little lovers quarrel they had.

    Comment by Le Roi Augustus — November 11, 2005 @ 5:08 pm

  44. It wasn’t lover’s quarrel—the jackass wouldn’t let me give my human lover eternal life. We argued, and (sorry Earthlings) brought on the Ice Age.

    From there, it’s just been catfights every couple of hundred years or so.
