Topic: Aggravations of the day

It all ended well since I went on a half hour run and sweated it all out, but

- I woke up with a headache and a stiff neck which lasted all day
- My car's airco is malfunctioning and it's effing hot causing me to arrive as a sweaty bastard at a meeting
- I had my secretary send out  a mailing to renew contracts. Instead of the draft new ones, she attached the old ones to the mails. I now have a mailbox full of enquiring wtf mails calling me a dumbass in perfectly civil legalese.
- My sorted trash (plastic bottles, cans, the likes) got rejected by the garbage guys, and my landlady took it upon her to sort it in my stead and is now huffed because she 'had to' go sort out my garbage
- I missed a payment on my cable bill and they now charge 8 euros extra as a reminder. Bastards.
- I can't stand to listen to three of the audiobooks I have on my ipod: Bernard Cornwell - Sharpes Rifles : read by the epitheton of bored english upperclass gaylords;  Bernard Corwell - Sharpe's Havoc : read by a drunk old toothless scotsman, and Terry Pratchett - Small Gods: read by the most nasal and annoying castrated schoolteacher ever genetically engineered to annoy humankind.

That is all for today!

Re: Aggravations of the day

I feel for you, in fact I wanted to make a similar thread today but I'd just include hot youtube videos and apparantly I have to self moderate my behaviour tongue

my experience with secretaries is that you really need to either spell out step by step and even letter by letter what they need to do or double check everything they do even if it's something simple... preferably both. This is especially so for older secretaries as their primary job description for most of their working career involved typing out stuff for hours on end, making coffee and ordering the occassional office supplies (usually when they've been depleted for days and someone finds it out when he urgently needs some)

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
