OMG, that stupid woman!

I walked past her the other day, and I knew she was going to cut me so I cut her. Then just as I drew level, she went: "Oh hullo!" so I pretended very obviously that I had just seen her and went: "Hullo," and went off shopping.

Next thing, she's sending stupid messages home via the Fella saying: "Would I like to go out to a silly dinner after he does this silly work thing with them all?"

Would she like to come and babysit for me while I go and get drunk and behave badly?

Thought not.

And now she has put a letter addressed to me in his pigeon-hole asking if I want to review a book for their journal!

Just Go Away, why don't you? Stupid cow. Pretending to help me while actually doing nothing for me at all.

If you want to help me, you ask me to come and give a paper on my latest research. You do not ask me to review someone-else's book, you ask me to write a paper for your stupid journal!

What is wrong with you, can you not read the implicit two fingers in the way I am saying: No Thank You, very very politely and in an ice cold tone of voice while smirking out of the side of my face? Go away and matronise somebody-else, nitwit.

How do you like your milk, swee-pea? Warm or in a saucer?

My dear, I'd hate to get on your bad side. . .

Gosh, she is not on my bad side :flutteringeyelashesemoticon: You just look for the feathers flying, and then you will know some silly bird-brain really got on my bad side, LOL.

We should be leaving for our short break once the postman has arrived, but...

We're procrastinating. I've just come in from the garden. We have declared war on the snails. Our three-year-old grandson proudly planted four marigolds. They lasted 24 hours before the snails stripped them to the roots.

I bought a product guaranteed to be six times more effective at killing snails than any other. On Saturday I removed 120 dead snails. On Sunday I removed another 90. This morning, after re-treating the area last night, I picked up 78 more dead snails.

The replacement marigolds have survived, so far, surrounded by an anti-snail minefield and corpses of the snail attackers.

Oh dear, I spelt that stupid woman's name wrong (genuine error!) when I emailed saying I couldn't be bothered to review her stupid (academic) book as I am 'rather busy' with my 'other' writing.

Now for my much more important review of four pieces of peerless smut

 

[NaokoSmith]

Email back from stupid woman:
No worries. We will find someone else.

Uh, I wasn't worrying! I didn't give a sh!t about it.

So self-centred!

Awaiting next move - cuz there will be one! I confidently predict it. Maybe they will ask me to come and serve the coffee and biscuits at the next meeting of the journal board!!! I should accept if they ask me to do that, and wear my basque under the see-through silk shirt What that did to a barman at a whole roomful of much younger women wearing only their underwear when I went to the burlesque was spectacular!

Gah, I feel tired out. Long drive - beautiful but long, and then cheering up my student, who has been through such a set of ordeals that if you wrote them up as a story people would say it was OTT and unrealistic . She was going to give up on the module but when I left she was cheerily preparing to start on a quants analysis question.

I wrote to the managers to say, I have a very difficult cohort of students, they will be needing a lot of one to one sessions. I hope you will be minded to fund them all, as I know you are anxious about retention of students on the module and a lot of them will drop out if I don't go and see them.

Line Manageress wrote back in a bitchy sort of tone, saying: Yes, thank you, we all know you work hard.

She is just antsy cuz the one cr@p line manager is retiring, so we will be left with Total Basturd and her - she will want to apply for the permanent job, and she knows I could put a spoke in it by kicking off about any of 100 things she has managed badly.

But will we get anyone better? Prolly not.

I feel exhausted today. I wanted to come home and rest after having to go a long way and see my very troubled student yesterday, but of course there was all supper to get. I hate when "people" come home long after you have managed to think of something and you are about to put it on the stove, and they go: "Oh, can I do that for you?" as if that tiny bit of input is the whole task.

I couldn't get to sleep till late cuz the Fella went out, and Piglet was getting in and out of bed, asking silly questions and he wasn't there to field it. If you shout at her, she is less likely to sleep so you have to go: "We can talk about it tomorrow, no hug." Cuz if you let her have a hug, she gets up again and pretends to have another urgent question ten minutes later.

I have to fill in application forms for new teaching contracts today, and I wish I'd had any time to do them properly over the last few days. I wish I could say I've been lazy about not doing them pronto. I will open my email and there will be silly things saying: "Did you put in your expenses claim," (or not even bothering cuz they hope I will forget and they won't have to pay me then), and I need to prioritise the applications first. I resent it that not only do I have to do this job, I have to keep re-applying for it AS WELL. Always thinking they might stick the knife in and make up new reasons to refuse to redeploy me.


And I have my first school governors' meeting tonight. I don't know what to think of it. I still don't think I am an appropriate person to be a primary school governor. But I guess I can do it for a couple of months and help them out with their tribunal, then slide off.

Your last few days sound like my last few days, only more. I didn't think it was possible!

It's amazing what is possible when Other People don't make the effort.

It really is, isn't it.

Perhaps Other People is why I am still working at 1:26 in the am.

That is a rhetorical question - right?

1] Could it be they're thinking of inviting you to join the Board ?
"Ah, yes, Mr President, this is our new Doctor Slave."

2] I think it would have been worth good money to see that, let alone film it.

There is now a giant wide format printer dominating the left side of my room next to my desk.

Thee, honey. What happened with the brunette whom your friend the waitress knows? Anything? And did you ever get the number for that woman you met while out at the card games with your dad?

Sorry I am out of the loop, I was away for a little while.

 

[Aynmair]

Food trucks feed the soul as well as the stomach. The real thang.

The waitress only knows the blonde that was ignoring me, not the brunette that was smiling at me.

I never even got the name of the waitress that liked death metal out in Stroudsburg PA, let alone her number.

Oh yes, that was it. But can your waitress friend not get a message passed along to the smiley brunette?

That would be the equivalent of someone helping me with something that would positively effect my life, and no one I know is willing to help me with anything that will positively effect my life.

I had the wrong phone number on my resume...

But the good thing is that I was informed this by a firm that had to email to tell me this, wanting me to call them back, so I might be on the road to getting a new job

I almost bought eighteen pounds of gumballs this evening.

We want to help you and have a positive effect on your life!

Hope you get the job.


Asking the waitress would really be the equivalent of you helping yourself towards something potentially positive. Brunette smiled at you - no harm in asking if the waitress knows anything about her, and would she be a possible for a friendly date.

I used to keep jellybeans in my gumball machine.
