peeves!

Well I've actually "worked" for these guys before, it's just official now.  They know me, and it shouldn't be too bad.  I doubt I'll have time to visit the boards at work anyway I'll be so busy.

I had a boss that did that .... wouldn't believe anything I told him, had to find out for himself.  He got narked because flying a rep in from Ireland was going to cost £200+ (at short notice), and he'd seen on the Web that you could do Belfast-London return for from £60.  He even found the site for me, and was very smug to have got one over on me.

"Ok" I said.  "Now put in the actual dates that Rep has to be here".

Tippety-tappety-tap ..... crestfallen boss found that the best rate he could get for the days in question was over £200.  

Did he seriously think that I was going to blow company money for the hell of it on something that wouldn't benefit me?

I have three things!

1.  I hate the fact that I can't even go the potty having to scream (from the potty) to ANSWER THE PHONE!!!  We're small about 12 employees and my phone rings the loudest and I'm gone 2 minutes in the potty and my phone can ring and ring and ring and no one thinks to pick it up!

2.  After bossy tells me the times they want their airline tickets booked they call me from the airport and says, "Bridge, see if there is an earlier flight out of here and book me a seat!"  ARG!

3.  After I make the announce that email or internet is down and I don't know when it's going to be back up..... Everyone yelling "Is internet down?  When is it coming back up?"

Or in regards to the bathroom topic my two biggest pet peeves are when bossie is on travel status and I'm not by the phone to take his call.  I'm afraid I need ESP for that one cause some days he calls in multiple times and others he doesn't call in at all.  OR I'm in the ladies room, he's in the office and he gets a sales call.  That will set him off to no end.  I need a port-a-potty and a portable phone on my hip so I can answer the phone while he's on travel status.  I swear he has a sixth sense about when I'm gonna be away from my office for a second and decides to call.  For a while there it was a big joke about always catching me in the John.  Oh and we were discussing the portable phone and ringing while I'm in the ladies room! That was fun!  Gee bossie I'm in the bathroom can you tell?  LOL!

Mine is travelling and called today during the ONE trip I made to the washroom all morning, and he HAD ME PAGED when I didn't answer. I *knew* it had to be him so I literally sprinted back to my desk to answer it, b/c picking up another extension would have been really counterproductive. I seriously wish science would come up with a way for me to just vaporize it out my ears or something.
