Who forgot to tell me it's Monday?

Eeesh. Craptastic day today.

I finally got my paycheck, and it's $20 less than I expected. Okay, counted on, chickens or no chickens, hatched or unhatched.

When my mentor asked for help, I really thought I could be useful. Turns out I actually need the training on the proprietary software and fortunately, I admitted this before I made a huge snarl of her project. Still, I wanted to help and I feel inadequate for not doing so.

Then *trademarked product name* was being cranky and instead of just downloading files to the public server, I had to e-mail them to myself, convert them from .rtf files to .doc files and save them to the public server.

Finally, in asking Admin. Assistant 2 for help with getting my paycheck because Admin. Assistant 1 was out of the office yesterday, I stepped into a turf war and pissed off Admin. Assistant 3, who spent five minutes telling me all of my reasons for asking AA2 for help were WRONG, and I should have asked her, and I should never ever ever again ask AA2 for help, even if I am on fire and she is standing near me with water in her hand. And I got this lecture from someone with bleached blonde hair styled into a shag haircut.

Big surprise--I got hives and scratched my right hand raw.

Bad day on toast.

I know you - you will have all three Administrative Assistants in your backpocket eventually.

Gonna get awfully crowded back there.
