thebratqueenTo those of you who are getting to see Serenity next month: I hate you.
(Though I hope the diehard Firefly fans on my list are getting to go. I'd classify myself as a B-level browncoat at best. If it was playing in NYC I'd definitely want to go, but that would be as much for the joy of getting the sneak peek with fellow fen as it would be for the movie itself.)
Today at work was such a pain, something which was made more ironic by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jennem reminding me that today was also Administrative Assistants day. Making a long story short, basically there are certain things that have to be done every month. Realizing that it was dumb to do all of those things in one week when only a few of them were time-sensitive, I spaced out the tasks. Some get done in the middle of the month, some get done at the end.
Which my boss knows, because I told him. Also because I've been doing it this way for a year and three months now.
But my boss, who as we know is mostly nice but very often forgetful, sees me doing the end of month stuff today (which is days ahead of schedule but, again, I'm efficient like that and if I can do it now I will) and a lightbulb goes off on his head. The other monthly stuff! What about that?
Me: I already did it. I do that in the middle of the month, remember?
Him: That can't be right! Look at how few things there are for you to do now! That must mean the middle of the month stuff wasn't done yet!
Me: Or... it could mean it was done since by definition if I did it then I would have less to do now.
Him: We're going to go over the middle of the month stuff together. It can't have been done if there's so little left now.
And while I am paraphrasing the actual words, I am sadly not misstating his logic.
Now I could've gotten into a debate about this but, having so lost that battle when something similar happened a few months ago, I went right into going with the flow and agreeing with everything the boss said. Had I been busy with other tasks that were time-sensitive I might have made more of a fuss, but since I'd completed the end of month stuff already I figured no harm in being two weeks early on the mid-month stuff if that meant there could be peace and harmony.
But still! No appreciation for my initiative with the end of month, no appreciation for me doing the mid-month on time and without needing to be reminded, and all that on Admin Assistants day! Harumph I say, harumph!
But I'm home now and relaxing. I currently own my very own copy of Stitch and Bitch plus some new needles care of my local yarn store. Plus keep your eye on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
