You know what's fun about the holiday season? Being released early with no warning, where everyone else leaves immediately but I still have too much shit to do to leave. And I can't put it off till Tuesday when the office is open again, because people will be back from vacation and expecting things on their desks from me. Awesome.
Hey, people, maybe I manage my time. Maybe I plan to spend the afternoon doing things. Maybe if we're closing early you could tell us all at, say, 9am, and then I would maybe do something like skip lunch to get my work done.
Thanks for nothing, I'll be here till normal time you bastards.
Happy new year.

Fucking rude
Guess what's the most annoying thing about covering reception? See below.
You know what? You can wait till I fucking finish greeting you when I answer the phone before you announce in a condescending way who it is you'd like to talk to. I don't care how big a bug or stick you have shoved up your anus, you can FUCKING BE POLITE.
Why do people like this get by in the world? It is not beneath you to speak with the receptionist. In fact, if you had any fucking brains in your head, you would realize that maybe the best thing to do is to be POLITE, even EXCEEDINGLY POLITE to the receptionist. Because if she doesn't put you through, you're not speaking to anyone, you fucking ass.
As evidenced by a friend of mine who was treated so rudely she stopped putting a particular caller through. He never ever got to talk to who he wanted again. Oops, ass-face. He was a vendor too - his money came from that company. How stupid are people? Answer: Pretty fucking goddamn stupid.

To quote Y, holy of holies.
Can someone please address the fact that our email database should not be constantly crashing? Can we please address the fact that we're not a two-bit operation, but an actual "real" company, and we should probably, you know, have working technology?
Can we talk about the fact that people shouldn't be "archiving" their email to their local hard drives when those machines are not backed up? I mean seriously, people. Can we have this discussion?
For God's sake.
