Uuuuuugh. Worst. day. ever. Far worse than the day Gwen demoted me, even. I had a location manager absolutely lay into me. He was rude, downright abusive.

Jerk. JERK. We had a hard deadline (as in &#8220;transmit before then or no one gets paid!&#8221;) and still he wanted to bitch about our new payroll software and how horrrrrrible it is. I finally said, &#8220;If I don&#8217;t finish fixing your payroll RIGHT NOW none of us get paid!&#8221; and he finally backed the fuck off.<\/p>\n<p>After that I was shaking, I was so angry. I&#8217;d managed to not burst into tears on the phone but they were right there waiting for me to get the hell away from other people. I wanted to go into our warehouse and scream obscenities but I realized that our Chairman was on the other side of the wall and maybe he did not want to hear me shout words like those. So I went outside and walked behind the building where I let out, in a mighty roar, a particularly ugly two word phrase ending in &#8220;it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I could go on but I won&#8217;t. Gwen wants to confront the manager who spoke to me this way but I really don&#8217;t want to. I don&#8217;t think I was in the wrong in any real way, I know I didn&#8217;t deserve the ugly way he approached his topic but I just want to get on with my life. It&#8217;s not like there&#8217;s going to be any major change &#8211; they&#8217;d never fire him for giving hell to the payroll clerk.<\/p>\n<p>(In case anyone cares, my vulgar detour only lasted a couple of minutes and then I went inside and fixed that jerk&#8217;s payroll and transmitted so we all get paid. Hooray!)<\/p>\n<p>(On the bright side, I did not chuck my office key at Gwen &#8211; the preferred method of quitting a job at my company &#8211; although it was tempting).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because payroll?
