stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I was scheduled my first "office day" in my new management position and I forgot how much I loathe office work. Mind numbing.

The music video for "Robert De Niro's Waiting..." was directed by Duncan Gibbins and shows Bananarama walking around dark streets, possibly followed by mafia-style clothed men. When it gets to the bridge part of the song, Bananarama member Sara Dallin is shown running along, looking behind her as if being followed: As the video winds down, Sarah and the other two members of Bananarama, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward, are back in their apartment, when the door bell rings. Keren answers the door, only to be confronted by the man who might have been chasing them, armed with a Mafia-style violin case. As she looks nervously at him, the case falls open to reveal a sign saying "Pizza Delivery", along with three pizzas. Both the man and Keren start laughing, and the video ends with Bananarama in their apartment eating the pizza and laughing.

 

And the problem is?

the pizzas looked terrible? those shitty frozen cheese only ones from the 90s and before. abomination.

Them microwave mutations of pizza. The sort where the "cheese" just kinda merges into the bread as one chewy mass. Often with rock hard edges.

I remember them coming frozen in a clear plastic wrap. The 80s and 90s were a fucking disgrace for food.

yep, remember the crinkly plastic wrap well. my mate used to always have them when I went to his gaff as a kid, eugh.

I remember that plastic used to have tough seams around the edges with corners that you could probably slice the pizza with.

I was making great time from Sioux Falls to Kalamazoo, (shaved an hour and a half off google's estimate) and then BAM, rush hour chicago tuned the I-94 into a parking lot. Motherfucker.

 where's the muthafucking plus one damnit. i don't want to have to pick the keyboard up to post a written reply and i don't want to use a smilie either, this is plus one territory.

 damnit i'll have to do it myself.

More like a case of the Munda-nes.

The case of the mundanes turned into a minor fws. I managed to use my office day to hustle some heavy shit around, plan pricing projects for my crew and generally got shit done. Did have to spend four hours reconciling payouts for 250+ purchases though (I run a public buying dept), fuck me that was tedious.

Learned the hard way why studded tires are a must during the winter. After one damn day of snowfall I couldn't make it up the same hill I've been traversing nearly every day for the last two weeks. #AKproblems

Want to buy a shirt with that stencil of Lauryn Hill from "The Miseducation...", you'd think such a thing would be extremely common but it turns out to be fucking hard to find.

Like this?

No, one where she isn't in whiteface, lol.

Hahaha... my colleagues keep surprising me.

So I was asked to produce a children's audiobook. My colleague asked me if I could some sound design as well. I told her, that I'm not hired to do sound design so I won't do it as an employee but she could hire me as a freelancer and I'd invoice her through my own company. She said, "ok!". I then received the script and had a look at how many sounds effects they wanted me to create. Every single sound effect was highlighted in the script so I just had a quick look and told her that it would take me about 4 hours and then told her how much that would cost. Everything was a-ok.

Two days later I started working on it but then noticed that the client had requested music as well which I hadn't been told about. Luckily, I have a fairly large backlog of music so I was able to finish some stuff and then use it for the audiobook. I then asked my colleague why they hadn't told me that the client had requested me to do music as well because if I had known the price I would have given would have been WAY different. As a matter of fact, I would have charged 10 times as much. She then told me, "but how was I supposed to know? I don't read the scripts".

But you're a fucking salesperson! You're supposed to know what the fuck you're selling to our voice talents and to your suppliers - me included!

 

Anyway, I finally finished the project and then told my colleague that I was going to invoice them. My colleague said, "Sure! You can charge us for 2 hours."

I then told him, "wait, I told the salesperson that it was going to take me 4 hours? And I even went up and beyond and made a bunch of music for free?". My colleague then responded that the salesperson couldn't find anything in her inbox about it taking 4 hours.

I then pretty much told them to fuck off and that they could have it for free because I can't be bothered to invoice anyone for two hours of work when it all in all has taken me around 6-7 hours. My colleague then got really mad at me and told me I was a baby and then told me to donate the money to charity.

 

LOL.

 

I can't wait to go to work tomorrow. Fucking amateurs.

I'm a sound design genius and everyone I work with is such a fucking idiot hahaha!

lol

can't go for a run when it's dark out cause the woods I go through are full of bats flying at eye level that are always half a second away of flying at full speed into your face. They also fly erratically like a fuckin butterfly... swallows are also a pain in the ass cause they fly at sound speed directly to your face but turn away at the last second, but at least they fly in a straight line and you see them coming... with bats you just can't tell and it makes me so anxious argh!!!!!!!!

 

so as a result of it getting dark at 18.30, bats, and it being christmas season i'm getting FAT

I don't know how it works over there in happy Scandinavia land, but over here in Canuckistan, we generally send them an invoice beforehand, and any extra hours are the contractors responsibility. Payment of course is still due upon completion of the work, or as specified by contract.

So next time, invoice them first.

Then tell them to lick your fat sweaty balls when they try and pull shit like this.
