It's Only Tuesday

Work has been sh*te. (Dis) Credit goes to The Prick. He has been a key character featured in this blog and seeing that he's been triumphant at depleting my patience lately, I thought it appropriate to air The Prick and the Wharfer series yet again today after its long departure.

Let me just remind you very quickly; The Prick is very patronizing, unreasonable, annoying (at best) and very good at distributing his work, so good that he is almost always left with none on his plate. Although I must give him credit *coughs* for having a knack of making himself sound very very busy during our weekly departmental meetings.

Anyways, back to my gripe. His recent request is so ridiculous, I do wonder if these report-users would actually read every single little minute detail on the report. Asking for tedious tasks to get done promptly is always a lot easier than doing it yourself, so, hey knock yourself out and get the Wharfer to perform this arduous exercise of manually extracting millions of historical information from various print outs/documents/etc and tabulate it in an excel spreadsheet, why don’t you. Jeez.

Did he offer to help at all, seeing that 'it is a very critical issue at hand and could be a potential breach in regulatory guidelines'? No. So much for having an issue of great magnitude-shmagnitude. What a load of crap. Why don’t people like this just die a slow and painful death and fall off the edge of the earth? Why are these freaks around to rain on my parade? Why?

Despite all that bleakness in my (work) life, the weather has been anything but that. It’s been gorgeous since Saturday; dry with temperatures soaring at a high of 23 degrees. There is hope for a proper summer after all. Having said that, I do feel bad for the people in Tewkesbury, Cheltenham etc in the Midlands hit by the floods. Where did all that rain come from?
