Hahahahaa! I promise I won't post audio.
I will get a little radio with earphones for those times I can hide in my spreadsheets. |

Peter: Milton? Hi. Uh... Could you turn that down just a little bit?
Milton: But I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from 9:00 to 11:00. Peter: Yeah. I know you're allowed to. I was just thinkin' maybe like a personal favor, you know. Milton: Well, I-I-I told Bill if Sandra's going to listen to her headphones while she's filing, then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating, so I don't see... Peter: OK. Milton: ...why I should have to turn down the radio. Peter:Yeah. All right. Ok. Milton: I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume... Peter: Thanks. Milton: ...from 9:00 to 11:00.

There you go. I bet there's a spot for her in the storage basement.

I'm irritated that Dazza has been travelling a lot lately doing consulting work and not a single one of those fuckers has paid up yet. It's annoying because for one thing, he's away from all of us, so it'd be nice if they'd acknowledge that. For another thing, one of the 'jobs' he had to do recently was to be an expert witness, so he doesn't get paid for that, but those arseholes haven't even reimbursed him for his expenses such as accommodation and travel yet and it was nearly a month ago. grrrr... Dazza's testimony won them their case too. You'd think they'd show some gratitude.

It seems to me that Finance Departments work in geologic periods of time rather than using normal calendars.

I'd hit the 'like' button if we had one.

Serious question, am I misogynistic for being sick and tired of working with women? It seems like we can't get through a week without some needless drama involving pecking order (sexist language but accurate) etc... They are all mostly decent to me, but the woman on woman bitchery is just tiring.

Not yet; but, don't complain to them or you'll give them a reason to unite and you will be.

There is - or was - a feminist myth that women are cooperative and mutually supportive, and all the hierarchical bully bullshit is an essentially male trait.
I have worked in a university library, with mostly female staff, some sections all female. I no longer believe this myth. Some sections were frankly vicious. I declined a promotion (more hours, better rate) because the all-woman team I would be joining was deeply internally hostile. Mind you, despite the massive preponderance of women at lower and middle levels, the top two positions were held by men. Still. (Hey, guys, you reckon we can blame the glass ceiling on women's mutual sabotage? )

I've come close enough to trouble by not joining in. I would be nicely f*cked if I joined team bitchery. I don't really understand the rules so I try not to play. Guys seem better at embracing their role in a hierarchy to impress the next bigger dog, the ladies I work with are actively sabotaging one another to open up spots to climb into. Maybe it's just a sick culture, but it is a female created culture.
