Well eff me

Today is just shaping up dandy.
woke up when I was supposed to, and remained awake, but still didn't get out til after 11. The computer is the problem, obviously. But, I did get some filing/bookkeeping stuff done so I don't consider it a waste, per se. However, that's due to the fact that LJ and email were BORING. So maybe not.

The big thing is - I forgot my phone. Again. Second Sunday I was going to be out all day and forgot it.

So - if you call me, and need a return back before 8PM, please leave your number - I'm about to check VM right now.

Have work to do, after I see if this thing has a sound card. Asshat is here today. Sucky sucky. They're already being loud as fuck. *sighs* The pleasures of being a tax accountant. Hopefully I will have good streaming British 80's soon, and maybe Bob's The Shape of Things To Come later on. IF I'm still here (which it looks like I will be *sighs*)

Addendum - No love for the speakers in my boss's office. They work on the computer I usually use, which I can't use today because of the asshat. One more thing to blame on him. Now I get to listen to them (he and his wife) bicker back and forth instead. I nkow that's what _I_ chose for today *grumble*

Second addendum - I happened to look at the cute little volume Icon on the toolbar. EVERYTHING was on MUTE. *ARGH* So now the speakers work. First up - Wumpscut. How appropos. So I have noise, yea for noise.

Let me just say

that if I DON'T kill this idiot asshat before the day is through, I should be nominated for immediate sainthood, and have lots of lithe young worshippers doing naughty things to each other in my name.

*growl*

PLUS - the one frigging client I really need to work on - CD is corrupt. I have NOTHING. This time, I'm making disks, unless I can be ASSURED the CD burner is working. Gothdammit.

Now it's time for a break, to go lust after jewelry.

Work accomplished -
- Set up speakers
- download program updates
- win one, lose second skirt on Ebay. Skirt #2 is the one i wanted, it was eggplant color. I might actually order it from the manufacturer. # 1 is electric purple, but it narrows my top choices.
- Check email
- post to LJ

You can see how prodcutive I am. *grumble*

Jewelry update

The snotty little store had a very nice, eager saleswoman in it. When they say "oh you HAVE to try this on!" - Run.

No sapphires. Nothing in a deep blue that I liked.

I DID try on the evil necklace. It is a choker style, very subtle, very me. BUT, it is WAY too small. The extension chain on the back would have to have about 3 inches added on for it to sit where I wanted it. Good thing - they'd probably do it within the cost of it. Bad thing - the cost is $150. (Sterling silver and perfect deep purple amethysts. a good 3 dozen of them) Saw another silver necklace that reminded me of cresent moons, with amethysts. Also $150. Pretty pretty. NOT in my price range.

now the evil one, it's me. Very me. Except too small. Since it's too small, I REALLY shouldn't buy it. BUT, it's not like clothes, the small can be solved with a bit of extension chain. But it's not a $20 necklace. *sighs* I'm going to think about it - it's smashing, maybe i can find a piccie online.

Off to slurp my lunch, which I don't really want, but figure eat now, then I can have dinnre before I go home. Someday. *sighs* again.

Just heard

from the asshat.
*wanders over to the printer, which had been printing, but stopped*
"what's this?"
*look at him*
"what the fuck?"
*look away from him, sigh. Not a mindreader yet folks*
"what the fuck is this? Overload?"
*return to eating*
"What the hell are YOU sending to the printer, that effed up my printout?? What's this "Press start to continue?""
*think "I'm eating. It's my printer. Fuck you asshat."*
"Oh, I guess it's OK."
*picks up printout, walks out.*

No apologies. Nothing on the printer that was mine. HE sent too much at once, and the printer just needed a time out.

Thankfully, the War Pigs cover by Faith No More is on my radio right now. I'm considering turning it up.he appears to be preparing to leave, which is good. Very very good.

Ahhhh

Instant dropping of stress level.
Asshat has gone home, along with his stupid questions.
I realized he actually talks DOWN to me. After me trying to fill in something (albiet something dumb, but it was my attempt to understand what he meant by "What the fuck is this?") he says "I KNOWWWWWWW" in that annoying 6 year old male way. except he's "older" and "knows more" I'll bet he doesn't know what it feels like to take a boffer sword in the face, now does he? He WILL if he keeps it up.

But. he's gone. The project I have in front of me is one I can accomplish, without taxing myself (so to speak *grins*) and I Have bleepy British 80's Goff to keep me company now.

NOW, if I could only start to get things accomplished. I'd love to be out of here at what I'd consider a reasonable hour.

What else?

The other client my boss really wanted me to see me work on?
Password doesn't work. I TESTED the freaking thing two weeks ago. Must have used the wrong data file.

Excuse me, but Mother Fucker.
*sighs*
I'm moving on to another client, but this one is personal, and won't be looked at til the OTHER one is done.

The client i was working on, is simple. but buggy. I need information from the client before I can finish the adjustments, and do the tax return. Slam - brick wall. I'll be finishing it, so she can call on Tuesday, but I need to call HER and give her an update. I HATE when I'm non productive for glitch reasons - raises her stress level whic raises MINE.

GAH, even!
