My life goal is to get to a point where they never even come over in the first place.
Unfortunately, this is through email.
If it makes you feel any better, I have to give a presentation tomorrow thatās a combination of two other presentations I gave last week. They wanted the areas separate and now they want to see the full roll-up together.

I canāt believe itās fucking snowing before Thanksgiving hereā¦
Yea man ā¦ weāre about to get some gross ass snowy mix weather here this eveningā¦
Geez, I had to do the exact same thing. There was the most tenuous of links between the two presentations.
I made the point that this would likely confuse everyone and dilute the message. Which everyone roundly agreed would happen. Then they asked me to do it anyway.
At this point, I asked if I would be presenting this Frankenstein. I was told no, so I threw it together.
My boss then asked me why his other report was late. I told him it was because he wanted his presentation as a priority which pushes everything else out.
His response was that they were both priorities and doing a new task shouldnāt push other tasks out. I decided to mentally exit the conversation at this point rather than see where that trainwreck was going to end.

Does your boss understand how time works?

His boss was telling him he should work unpaid overtime, without actually saying it.

This is usually the point at which I say something that puts me on the short list to be fired.

I have to go into junior marine mode. Yes sir. Aye sir.
Come home after a long day at workā¦ been dealing with a bug for the past few days . Just want to come home, down some NyQuil and crawl into bed. Greeted with are dog out of his day kennel lying on my couch looking at me with this look that said " GEE boss welcome home!! Look at all the carnage I did!"
Weāre having our first one right now. Wet slushy roads, people driving like itās an arctic apocalypse (it really isnāt), the whole nine yards. Itāll all be gone by Saturday.

I hate ice storms. Wires down all over the road and transformers exploding, at least the flashes are pretty blue/green colors.
Oh and screw duquesne light. They came and shut off the power to the sparking/downed wires, then left. Didnāt fix shit. Still no power.

Damn. I was just belly aching a little. You have a legit problem.
Do you have anything like a generator or wood burner?
Burned half a cord of cherry already. My folks live pretty close and they have power. Temps are up high enough pipes wonāt freeze. DLC wonāt give us any forecast on when itās fixed. When we call up to ask: ā24 thousand customers without power sir.ā
āUmm, thatās not an answer. All 24 thousand of those customers pay you every month with no choice, so donāt pretend like theyāre a burden now.ā
Oh well first world problems.

Well, itās good that you have a heat source.
We get power outages all the time due to a bend in the road and the power pole placement. Once a month we here Bang! and out goes the power. Then all the sirens, then the power comes back on in about 3hrs.
Allegheny doesnāt even answer the phone any more. Just a recording saying that they know.
