The beautiful thing about working for "the man" is that while he/she's of playing golf, eating 3 hour lunches and maybe not going into work at all (not calling in sick, no, who would they call? Themselves? Leave a voicemail on their work phone that they won't get until the following day anyway? Because, like their only employee, they are taking a sick day too.) My time is not so free.
Despite my low-end of the totem pole position, I have the boss' down to the second schedule. I feel like I should be the King or Queen in my case of the world 9 hours a day.
There's not much different from what I do versus the Queen. Besides the extravagant clothes or the servants making my every wish come true ("Get me some pad thai straight from the bossom of Thailand, you've got 3 hours"), I have to deal with incompetent morons. I have to explain to them the foreign policy we call bills.
I say foreign policy, because no one knows what we are talking about. Hell, I don't even understand why we do what we do the way we do it. But I accept it, barely. There's no reason to meter you based on how many pornos you watch online. And I would rather not read "Interracial Fornication" or "Back Door Sluts 9" outloud to you. I'm going to laugh about it later anyway, mainly just about me saying it.
But back to the main point. I don't like having to explain that foreign policy to you over and over again. Once is okay, Twice is acceptable, Three, Four Five, etc, is just ridiculous.
And it's not because of the... job pursay. It's mainly because of how down to the second I am watched. Sure, I can take a few minutes here or there to finish off, but I'll be receiving an all too threatening phone call when I've been done with you for 30 seconds.
Maybe even twice in one incident. I understand that I'm using extra time to complete my task, please, the reminder is only preventing me from finishing sooner.
And as long as I can have a better excuse for you calling than "Do you need help" Because as much as you preach it, I'm almost positive that if I were to ask for it, you'd tell me to get to the backbone of the system instead.
So, please, be more original next time and I'll be happier. I'm not a Queen, I'm not a King, I'm definitely not the President, so I don't need to be reminded of my duties or happenings of the day.
