Do you ever have a really crappy day at work?
You cannot get anything done, people keep yelling at you, interrupting you, the machines you need to complete you job won't work worth crap and you get to lunch an hour late only to find your lunch you were so looking forward to is gone. Some stupid idiot had the nerve to take you lunch when everything else went wrong.
Ever happen to you?

2. Yes... today has been like that
People leaving early when I need to speak to them, computer trouble, being late to lunch, people not getting back to me on time, and to top it all off... I went to the bathroom and discover I've been walking around with an orange Gatorade mustache on my upper lip since this morning. x(

4. If someone were taking my lunch, I'd
probably make one up with some special ingredients just so they'd have a stolen lunch they'd never forget.

Maybe a ham, cheese and hair sandwich.

6. You mean like last Tuesday when ALL the company servers crashed
from a Microsoft/Symantec upgrade gone wrong and I had to try to get them all running while trying to my own stuff and I'm now about a week and a half behind and counting?

no

8. Yes, yesterday in fact
For these reasons:

1. Searing back pain that has been going on for three weeks. Can't take the drugs at work because they make me sleepy.

2. Had to tell my employees that upper management did not approve the incentive program I created for them, which had already been approved by HR and Legal.

3. Got into it with my senior writer over how to phrase "for example" in a sentence. I kid you not. Ended up telling him to do it the way he and the rest of the writers decide. Guess it's not what he wanted to hear, because as I passed his desk, I heard him mumbling "This is the last time I bring anything up." Can't win for fucking losing.

4. Did I mention the searing back pain? Oh, and my allergies have been killing me all week.

Today has been better, thank <insert your deity of choice here>.

Peace,
Bella
