What's mildly irritating you today?

Know how you feel.
I can't be with Dana today because we're too busy for me to have a day off. Or even two half days. Or one half day.

Yet the Finance Clerk was off on Monday. Which is why I spent my lunchbreak in the bank sorting out an urgent payment.
And my manager is only in two days a week (working one from home) and won't change that no matter how busy we are, because that's what her contract says. And the boss of the company rushes off every afternoon to pick up her grandson, no matter who needs to talk to her because her slacker daughter has just started a new job and "can't afford" to make proper childcare arrangements.

Don't get me wrong - the flexibility offered to other people is not a problem for me. It's just when it seems selective that it bugs me.
