Today I spent five hours watering my boss' garden. Not that I stood out there for five hour but every hour I had to get up and move the sprinkler to a different section of her yard. In some ways it's more annoying because I have to stop what I'm working on to do it. I also stood for fifteen minutes getting totally soaked watering her hanging basket with a hose.
Why did I get soaking wet you ask? Because my idiot boss has about fifty thousand things piled in front of where she's got her hanging basket so I'm standing twenty feet away, trying to hit the pot as it swirls on its chain while half the water runs down the hose and soaks my shoes and pants. When I came in I had to throw my clothes in the dryer. Who in their right mind buys a hanging basket the day they're going away for two weeks anyway??? The poor thing is half dead because I'm sure only about 1/32nd of the water I spray on it makes it into the pot. I'm going to see if I can get the sprinkler to hit it instead of using the hose.
Also, today I had to stop eleventy thousand times to help my co-worker. I do not consider myself to be brilliant but by the gods, this woman makes it seem like I'm freaking Einstein. If things are not absolutely perfectly aligned, she can't figure out how to get from point a to b. The final straw came when she asked me for help with a bank statement. I went over and after a few minutes, I realized that she's working on a spread sheet which has nothing to do with the bank at this point and time.
For Odin's sake woman! Who cares about the bank statement??? You're in the middle of something else! Your eyes shouldn't even be looking at the bank statement! Its no wonder it take her ten years to do something if she's trying to do twelve things at once. Morons! So instead of smacking her about the head and shoulders, I just said, you know what? You're working on one thing and this problem requires you to be working on something else. So why don't you wait until you actually GET to this step and deal with it then, OKAY! Sheesh!
