Please organize this stuff!
I came back from lunch yesterday to find my office turned upside down. Files were everywhere, folders dumped on the floor, and my recycling dumped out.
2 notes from my boss: one saying she had to look for a document I hadn’t filed in a timely manner, the other saying to ‘please organize this stuff’
Boss 2 (slightly less insane, but slightly more scary) yells from across the office that Big Boss Lady wants me to create a spreadsheet of what I have done at work every FIFTEEN MINUTES, for the last week.
Top 3 ideas to make a scene went through my head:
1) an excel spreadsheet of what I’ve done every day this week every fifteen minutes, the last being 4:45 I QUIT!
2) A SATC Burger Break Up-esque post it that says ‘thanks for cleaning out my office for me!’
3) Silent walkout with no explanation
Instead ‘as per her request’ I calmly did these things, and my work and went home to get drunk and eat mac and cheese. Today there has been no mention of either of these incidences. If I was to be truthful though this is how my day would look.
9:00-10:30 - drink coffee, facebook, tweet, check non work emails, g-chat
10:30-11:00 - online scrabble with a bit of actual work
11:00-1:00 - g-chat/facebook/tweet/write this post
1:00-5:00 - think of ways to afford quitting!
