Pissy For A Day

Can I have the pissy pass? I leave for vacation on Sunday. My boss told me that one of the other department heads raised a fuss over me being out for a week near quarter end and asked me to bring my laptop and "be available" if needed.
I told him "fine, but I'm not burning any vacation time on days you call me. If I'm working for 10 minutes, it goes down as an 8 hour day" and he agreed. Doesn't make it right, though.

My turn....
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Is it too much to ask for a company to have competent tech support help? I can deal with barely being able to understand the person, but when I, the person calling for help, has to explain the most basic principles of the technology I need help with... TO THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME. Well, that be a bit frustrating.
So now my most challenging customer is freaking out and I am at a loss at what to do next. I guess I will go back to suggesting he do it the way I asked for in the first place.
It all goes back to the idea that any technical problem can be solved with time and money. If you want a complex AND reliable solution, you sometimes need to pony up some bigger money.

Dontcha love it when they want your expert opinion . . . they're desperate because this absolutely has to be bulletproof . . . but it has to be cheap, too 
And then, when you do it the way you've told them it is NOT going to be reliable, and it FUBARS, somehow it's your fault for not MAKING them do what you suggested in the first place - and they expect you to fix it and make it right by doing what you wanted to do originally, but since it's your fault that they didn't listen, you're supposed to do it at YOUR expense . . . after all, don't you stand behind your work?

I need it. Don't even have a reason. Woke up all stinky and grumbly and it won't let loose today. I don't have a reason to be POed I just am. Grrrrrrrmpf. Do have a slight excuse that I have been switching BC and therefore kinda missed to have my last period... and I am due for the next one and I think my hormones are going crazy.
I'm in need of pissy pass today. I got laughed at yesterday by a sales rep for an insurance company when I told him how much I could afford to pay a month for insurance. And I quote "I don't know what planet YOU'RE from ..." %$^&* insurance salesmen $%^& called me up to$%^&* sell ME insurance and then ^&*( laugh at me. Nice. >.< And since I filled out one of those "free quote" things, I've had no less then 20 calls asking if I want to buy health insurance. Actually, yes I do but you won't effing sell it to me at a price I can afford because I have a pre existing condition. Eff. Also my neck is still killing me. Really really really killing me. I may die. Of pain. GAH. I needs the pissy pass and if I can't have it I'm stealing it how do you like THEM apples huh? :rofl1:
