Shhhh
I really need to just stop talking. Actually, it's not even talking come to think of it. I just need to stop communicating with people that I work with/for. Two stupid things I've emailed so far today.
This was emailed to a colleague who thanked me for sending her a client code
"Yep. Feel free to ask me anything if you ever have questions. Like I said, I always just assume everyone already knows this stuff and they just didn't tell me. Because apparently I think the whole world is a "No Cats allowed" club or something."
I could have just said "you're welcome" or not responded. But no, not this jerk. I had to let her know that she could always come to me with questions, which is fine, but then I had to add on the rest of that god awful nonsense.
This was emailed in response to a fucking client of all people.
"Thank you. I have a feeling the names are not released unless the case goes to trial. There are only 9 pediatric surgeons licensed in the state of Delaware so if an organization like mine could manage to find one who didn't know the other 8 so that s/he could perform a review, s/he would probably think twice about doing so for fear that the other 8 would black ball him/her (the English language really dropped the ball by not coming up with a good word to replace him/her)."
Really? What the fuck did I have to add that last thing for. The rest of it makes perfect sense and was not necessarily inappropriate for me to say. But "the English language really dropped the ball..."? Really, stupid? Do you think the client needed to know what was going through your little brain as you were typing?
And it isn't even 11 a.m. yet.
Somehow I managed to get a ton of work that needs to be done and no time to do it. I guess that's what happens when you take half a day off? I don't know. All I know is that there are a bunch of people who need or want things from me, a bunch of stuff I need to do, and just too much stuff and nonsense in general. I decided I needed to be left in peace to complete some of this shit and so I made the following sign to hang outside my cubicle (since I don't have a door I can just shut). I wanted to be polite so I worded it very carefully:
So far, it seems to be working.

Bunnies
"I have a ton and a half of work to do and every time I try to get one thing accomplished, six other things pop out of nowhere like rapidly multiplying bunnies. I can successfully chase maybe two bunnies at a time, and the rest have to run around until I get to them.
Please help me wrangle the bunnies by allowing me a few hours of uninterrupted silence broken only by truly critical needs. I promise I will take care of your bunny as soon as possible."
So far, it seems to be working.
