People anger me at work. Especially people who do not feel the need to contol their emotions and make their problems everyone else's problem. I literally had to leave work at lunch today or I might have just totally lost it. The executives (I use that word loosely) are having a "Strategic Meeting" on Thursday so my boss sent me a word document that she couldn't get to print correctly. After 5 hours, I gave up and converted the file to a PDF so it would print correctly. I then sent the original document and the PDF to the "Executive Assistant" and she still could not get it to print correctly, which was because SHE WAS NOT PRINTING THE RIGHT DOCUMENT!!! So she comes up here all flustered saying that I need to fix it after I had already sent an email stating that I DO NOT KNOW HOW WORD WORKS because I DO NOT USE WORD FOR MY JOB. (So technically I know how Word works, but whoever did the origial document used some gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay template that did not work correctly, which I also made known.) I told her that she would have to ask someone in IT to figure it out, since you know that's their actual job, and she said that all of them were busy updating the phone system. WTF? It takes 10 retards to update a phone system? Anyways, I was like I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, use the PDF and she went on about how my boss would have to fix it and they needed it by 1:00, blah blah blah. My boss isn't even in the office this week, so I'm not quite sure how she could fix it. I ended up printing the doc off in PDF and taping it to her door, (yes, I know, why does an "Executive Assistant" need a MF office?) and I went to lunch.

Serously though, why do I get so worked up if other people around me are having emotional issues? Is it because I can't handle stupidity as well as others? Or is it because I set too high of standards for other people that can't handle their jobs or even write in a complete sentence?!?

I think after this email is when I lost it today (and no I did not take out the punctuation):

"Hi IT is tied up today installing the new phones in (blank) here a sample of how the other reports came in can you reformat it to reflect this thanks"

How can you even be an "Executive Assistant" when you can not compose an email correctly?

This is why I question why I even work sometimes. I just can't handle dealing with other people and their lack of intelligence.
