Less of a grrrr and more of a response to the Fuck Cancer posts. The Knoxville Police Department is hosting a replacement blood drive today for one of their officers who is undergoing treatment for cancer. I tried to go down and donate in between appointments, and I couldn't because the line just to get to the screening was an hour long because so many people had showed up. Cancer is a fucker, but it's always good to get reminded how many other people think so too.
when you send a 26-page report booklet with edits from the client and say "please follow the edits on the markup version - but please disregard the changes written on page 4 & 5 as they have already been made" and you reiterate this in 3 separate emails... and still get an email back saying, "I'm confused as you said not to follow the client edits so here is the new version with ___ and ____ adjusted" but not a single edit from the markup is done.
WTF. I hate working with a remote team. I hate working with people with no reading comprehension even more.

This sounds like my job! I am not supposed to create any artwork here, but sometimes, I just know it is easier doing it myself, then to worry about someone not following instructions. #peoplebedumb

this is why I hate hate hate account/project management. I don't want to be a damn hand holder all the time. I don't have the patience for it.
sometimes it feels like 90% of my job is dumbing things down for others, reiterating the same things, and OCD-watching over everyone else (clients & internal teams) to make sure they actually follow through. I do not enjoy those aspects at all. /rant
on the bright side, this should really motivate me to get a bunch of GRE studying done tonight...
edit: and half of my office is here and half is in connecticut, so it's not even like other agencies I've been at where I could just walk down the hall and talk them through something or see face-to-face if they have questions. so it's even more frustrating.

Our corporate office/production department is in Augusta, GA. I am in the same boat as you. AND we have to use either the production email (regardless if I have a specific designer assigned to whichever product we are working on) OR through the Ad program we use. So, NO calling, NO direct emails. Can you have a less efficient system? Sometimes, I just want to pick up the phone and talk to someone, but I can't... hence doing it myself.

For real. I only have them create artwork if they have the original and the client wants changes. I create all new ads in-house now (on top of the three other jobs that I do, hence the award apparently lol). I can't take it. When we were working on the menu guide, I tried to get them to send me the working files... they were not having. SMH

85% of what I do is done remotely with Connecticut, Maine, New York, Massachusetts, & Vermont offices. I have typed out in multiple emails today that I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or throw my computer out the door. Don't get me wrong, I like that I am somewhat indispensable & can do all this, but good grief, sometimes it is utterly maddening. As it is today.

I'm glad we're all in the same boat, here. we should all probably go have a drink after work.

I won't drink, but I have some herbal refreshments for after works.

Well in that case... cancer, you fucker! You took my boy Griff the day after Christmas. Dead from lymphoma at age 25, and he wasn't even a smoker.
He was a pretty difficult guy to forget - which is good because he lives on in people's memories, but it's also tough because it makes it that much harder to accept he's really gone. I just miss my friend.

Inforoo: where I would be perfectly okay with giving a hug to an Aussie I've never met.
Not a GRRR but more of a "I'm upset/scared and this is the best place to post it". My kitty isn't well. Not sure exactly what is going on, but he won't eat and hasn't pooped in at least a day. He's very lethargic and cries in pain when I touch his back near his tail. We have a vet appointment this morning. When my last kitty got sick, it turned out to be very bad and she passed away that weekend I'm scared, guys.

Somehow screwed up my knee last night doing a HIIT workout. I can't straighten it completely or bend very much so it's kinda stuck at this weird angle.
And it's snowing. Hobbling around in the snow and slush is just a ton of fun.

Ughh every day it seems my plan of coming home before Bonnaroo (or really any time soon at all) becomes less and less plausible. I'm really, really homesick.

Sending good thoughts. Hopefully it's something that can be easily treated.

Please let us know how it goes! Like Hilari, hoping it's nothing serious.
omfg. I've been on verizon for 2 hours trying to purchase a new phone. I'm on my family's plan, so I'm logged into my father's account. (which locked me out several times initially because I'm on a "new device"... and had to reset the entire account because of my effing computer) obviously he has a different address than me - but when you go to order your phone, your card billing address HAS to match the account billing address. well, my family lives 6 hours away from me. obviously my billing address is completely different. I even went into the settings to adjust the address to mine temporarily, and it STILL shows up as the old/incorrect one. I've refreshed, started over, emptied my cart, etc. and it still isn't working. and it won't process my payment until they match.
I've now tried a new browser, and half of the account information is still not matching up. I've been trying to purchase a new fucking phone for 2 hours.
WHY the hell does the account address need to match the card?? why can't I enter new billing information for a new card? I just do not understand. even if it was the account holder purchasing the phone, he could easily have 2 different cards under 2 addresses. this just makes no sense to me and I'm gonna freak out.

Hope it's just something very minor, keep us posted!
Thanks all. He has a blocked urethra. He's staying at the vet this afternoon so he can get a catheter and IV fluids to make him pee. The vet says it's common in male cats, but if he had gone much longer without being treated, he would be a goner He should be ok after a few days of treatment.

Does anyone else hate working with women? Why can't we be nice and stick up for each other rather than tear down and divide? I'm not by any means saying it's all women but damn, there are too many who suck.
JHOinTN I'm glad to hear the kitty is going to be ok.

I work with a woman, who one minute is nice and helping you out - and then the next minute is ready to completely flip out on someone. But most of the time she's usually complaining about someone or something. It's only gotten worse when her partner in complaining quit last month.
I was on the way to Atlanta to see Zola Jesus with siggy and mayo (after begging to have someone go with me) and my wife's car crapped out and I was stuck on the side of the road. The funny part of it is I drove her car because I trusted it more than mine. It could have been worse, I only made it about 20 miles away from home, that's better than being stranded somewhere in Ga.
