Mechanical Pencil

Is it possible to kill yourself with a mechanical pencil? This "short" week has been HELL so far. Yesterday, I screwed up and managed to royally piss the doctor off for the entire morning. I was just easing back into his good graces today when the front office girls suddenly forgot they even had a brain and REALLY fucked up big time. But who gets in trouble for this...that's right. Shit rolls down hill, so the doctor spent 20 minutes chewing me out for the" incompetance of the staff and I had better set them straight. He's tired of the bullshit." My response..."Yes sir. I'll take care of it." I want to put my head on the desk and cry today...but not before I kill the someone.

Linny, if you kill someone and need a place to hideout from the law, drop me note ;-)

there's an analogy to do with monkeys in trees which might be apt here, if only to make you smile...
when climbing the corporate ladder, consider yourself as a monkey in a tree, when you look up to the level above you all you see are arseholes ready to shit on you, when you look down all you see is the shit from where you came.
life goes on
and i'm sure you can kill someone with a mechanical pencil, but do it nice and slowly, enjoy it, then run like the wind
hope things get better and if they don't you can always join natalia and visit me for my birthday in november :o)

Don't let the bastards grind you down, babe. Hang in there. Of course you could have quoted Lt. Worf from Star Trek: First Contact...

"If you were not my superior I would kill you where you stand!"

Nah, on second thought, just jab out his eye with a pencil.

All doctors are assholes. That's my mantra.

I feel your pain. Today was the worst day EVER. And doctors are assholes to work for, from what I hear. I have two friends that work/worked for doctors and they had horror stories to share. What part of spending a few extra years in school suddenly gives them the right to be straight up A-holes???

Rats Linny. Way too much stress for you girl!
Take 'em out. Take 'em all out. lol

Seriously, it sounds like the boss there was having a crappy day himself. Does it help to know that his life sucks sometimes too?

I know...don't go getting all sympathetic. A schmuck is a schmuck is a schmuck. ;)

OH - and I read once about a woman in Europe who stabbed a co-worker TO DEATH with a pencil. Her trial defense was PMS. That's right "I just have no control over my hormones."

She did not go to jail. How cool is that?! I'm working on my defense too. muuuahahaha

Kill yourself? I think you should kill the front office girls with the mechanical pencil. Go for the jugular.

Seriously, hang in there!

*hands you some tea* You can either drink it or spill it on your doctor. The choice is yours!
Either way, feel better!

Use that pencil and threaten your staff. "If any of you cause the Doctor to chew me out again, you'll be getting this in the jugular!" Then make stabbing motions in the air while looking really crazy. Either they'll quit, or shape up!

Happy Thursday though....if anything only one more day of work til da weekend!

OH NO! I hate that crying feeling at work. Tuesday, in a depressed-not-happy-to-be-back-at-work hangover, I talked to my boss. I started to well up. I was angry. When I get angry, I cry (damn hormones). He asked me, "Are you ok?" I managed to keep even keeled and say, "Yes, just a touch emotional." As if that erased the crying in front of a man-boss. UHG...Love your blog!

Unfortunately crap will always roll down hill, no matter how responsible we are and how much we try to balance being a good steward of our job and our relationship to others, time to pull out the football coach routine and get your crew in gear for the new football season, I am not a personal manager and I am sure it is difficult to manage when people make mistakes.
