i'm hulking out about this.

i mean, not really.  but i'm pissed.

there's a marketing event this weekend, to which i have invited several client contacts.  i've received no fewer than 3 emails from this woman IN THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT asking me to do shit for the event.  most recently, can i pick up a box of shit at the office and then take it over to the event a little early and help set up?

NO I CAN'T.  because i'm not in marketing.  i'm in the lawyering department.  you market.  this includes SETTING UP MARKETING EVENTS.  which have been planned FOR MONTHS.  i'll lawyer.  which includes networking.  with clients.  so that they hire us.  so i can bill them.  SO WE CAN BOTH GET PAID.  this marketing event wasn't even my idea.  it was the idea of a partner in a different department.  i know why you aren't asking her.  because i smile more.  guess what?  I'M BUSY.  you fix it.

what the fuck, yo.

wtmf? That's bizarre as hell. Don't they have assistants/interns for that? The Boss does some marketing events, but they don't even bother ME with that stuff.

this IS the assistant.

i copied her boss on my latest reply ("no, i cannot.").  last time i did that, someone got fired. 


i swear, she and the terrible paralegal (who got fired) and the secretary who hates me are not emblematic of how my firms runs shit.  they're the annoying outliers.

I can't believe she thought this was a good idea. Yikes.

[angelaa73]

Hahahahaha that chick has lost her marbles.

SEnd it back advising her that you think she sent this to you instead of her asst

sent from my I crashed my car into a bridge. I don't care. I love it.

You know what Marketing Chick needs? A Fluttery Secretary.

[angelaa73]

Oh derrp. She's the asst.

In that case, what a rube

sent from my I crashed my car into a bridge. I don't care. I love it.

I have never seen you but you must look like the kindest, sweetest, kindergarten teacher-esque person ever lol. I am in no way involved in lawyering but I cannot imagine being in marketing and being all "I know who I will get to do my job that lawyer lady". When I was a receptionist I wasn't asking the VPs to answer the phones (though I did in my head yell at them regularly to do their fucking dishes but only in my head).

How old is this girl???

[nomad100]

Holy crap. That is insane.

I work in marketing, in a law firm, and I would never ask one out our attys to bring something to an event. OK, that isn't entirely true. If I was already on site and needed something from the office, I would call someone. But I would start with the newest associates and work my way up from there.

last time was a bunch of extenuating circumstances.  but it did make me think twice about copying the boss this time around.  i was like "hmmm...what if i have the opposite of the midas touch?"

[LLL]

lol, I'm dying at "change of plans"

LOL! Well, I'm sure she learned her lesson. I'm still dying at "change of plans!"

[gozf]

I seriously cannot believe the balls on her. Change of plans. Jesus Christ. I hate her.
