When a girl can't get annoyed at anything, there's a problem.
I mean honestly, I get frustrated, even though I know everything *evil grin* If I'm not in front of a problem, or in a situation, it's a bit harder for me to come up with an answer. But then saying "don't get annoyed"? jeez.
It's one of my bosses. She's very frustrated with me, because thanks to my schedule she's only getting two days a week, where last year she had three. So whenever she has a problem, she calls me. No problem, really. But she calls me after she's frustrated, and she wants answers and sometimes I don't have them. Like the other day, she called me asking "what's wrong with the tax program?" And I said "what?" since I had uploaded an update and I had images of it crashing, and me having to drive to the cape to fix it. "It's SLOW, I don't like sitting here, didn't we do all these upgrades for speed?!?" So, basically, the program is a monster. It's slow to open. Even on our brand new, upgrades server and computers. Even at my other CPA's office. But somehow, I can do something. I think this is her way of communicating her un-thrilled-ness of my lack of hours.
So she's bitching at me this morning that the screen in the tax program at the computer _I_ use, doesn't look like the others. I have NO CLUE what she's talking about, so I say "I guess I have it set up for how I like it, I can look at it when I come down tomorrow." and she says "Well yes, because it needs to work for all of us, and we are used to something else.....*rant continues*" and I just get annoyed. And then she says "Don't get annoyed." Now come ON. I really have absolutely NO IDEA what she's talking about that she can't see certain things. For all I know it's the res on the the monitor and I am NOT NOT NOT upping the res on the monitor so I can have eye strain at the end of the day. I like things small and neat on my monitor, and I don't need these HUGE obvious flashing arrows pointing "here, click me." I think the solution is the logins. I don't know anything about networks, and like to keep it that way. We had this huge argument once as she was sitting at my computer and I said "Double click on the Excel Icon." and she said "YOU don't have one." she was yelling at me the whole time about it. Turns out now that we have WinXP, we also have all the expanded login stuff. And she wasn't logged in as me, she was logged in as a user I've never setup. So I was telling her "yes there IS an Icon" and she was just as adamant there wasn't one. So I think if I set up other logins with THEIR preferences, I can then keep mine. it's just a pain in the ass since I'm not SURE it'll work, I have to spend time doing it, during the musy season when she's pissed I'll have to, AND while bitching at me to fix it, bitches at me about the time it'll take to fix it.
ARGH!
You know, all I want is to work and go home. I don't want to work and work and work, and then have to do all this tech stuff once I'm tired and all I want to do is go home.
I have to get up early tomorrow, I have to beat her in, so I can have coffee, and something sweet, and get my lunch and stuff. Tomorrow is going to blow like nothing I've ever seen blown before. I mean she's seriously irritated that I'm irritated. I just want the right to say "C, I don't KNOW and I can't fix it from here. I'll be down on *blank* and I'll see you then." I was supposed to be there yesterday and I've had to juggle my schedule again so I'm not there til tomorrow and the first thing she says is "How did it go yesterday." implying - it had better have gone fine or I'll be put out that I gave you leave to go.
ARGH! again!
I think Sunday is a "for me" day. I'm think I'm going to the Egyptian exhibit, all day, at the MOS, and then to the movie and Voltaire. I'm so looking forward to seeing Constantine. I saw him for a couple at ManRay a couple of months ago, and I missed him at Ceremony when he came up. The last time we talked at any length was on my visit to NYC last year, and had supermarket sushi in between his plans and my leaving. *grins* He's such a doll. I should give him a buzz today and tell him I'm coming to the movie, and that if he gets a bit less busy he should let me know where he'll be and I'll swing by.
I don't want to go to work, dammit! I'm going to finally pay some bills, and decide if I want to indulge in some retail therapy tonight. Probably *lol* Since I won't have time for it otherwise.
