The office has been pretty dull the past few weeks, hence the lack of blogging. No one’s done anything interesting or out of the ordinary, no scandal or gossip, no hiring or firing, not even an interesting update on the netball I’m afraid. And I’m off on my holidays tomorrow so my mind is elsewhere than work (for a change)….
It has happened that both Moody and I are on holiday at the same time. Not sure how Harley let that one slip though as he is normally the annual leave Gestapo but it’s worked out that Moody went off on Thursday for 2 weeks and I’m off from tomorrow for a week. So that leaves the only person left to hold the fort for our section of the department – CJ. Uh oh.
CJ deals with other aspects of the work we do, the big old frameworks and being rude to people on the telephone is her forte as we know. She has so far found it to be beneath her to involve herself in the ‘little things’ that Moody and I do (or more so me) or even to show an interest and find out what it is I am employed to do all day long and this has now come back to bite her on the arse. Already she has sent me several emails this morning in response to requests from other departments:
“Any clues as to who is does do these?”
“Apologies, I've never dealt with one of these.”
Hmmmm, me thinks she may be in some trouble come 5pm tonight. Gunner has given her until this Wednesday before she calls in sick.
I have given Gunner and everyone as much of an explanation as to what I am in the middle of or what might come through this week so CJ doesn’t manage to fuck everything up completely. Because you know that I’ll get back a week on Wednesday to a huge pile of emails, a freaking CJ and a ton of people asking me where everything is that was meant to be done last week. As I have learnt previously she doesn’t seem to multi task well and without anyone to forward these emails to she is going to start sighing like a mo-fo. Not that we’re even that busy, I’m now twiddling my thumbs and counting down the minutes until home time but I’m sure it will all be extremely exasperating for her!
In the mean time I have the joyous Database to keep me occupied and some more comedy excerpts to share with you:
