Today, I am mostly Being Annoyed at the Clueless Idiot in the Kitchen place who has taken over from teh Nice Girl I dealt with originally. Partly because he insists on referring to me as 'Mrs', despite that fact that nothing I have ever given them has 'Mrs' on it and the fucking cheques *I* fucking PAID them with very clearly say 'Miss' (must get that changed. I feel I have outgrown 'miss' somewhat now).

Mainly, however, because he seems to think I have nothing to do but sit at home all day waiting for workmen to show up. He phoned me *at work* at 2pm on Friday to say they could send someone round then. I pointed out that I was NOT THERE, which seemed to surprise him, but said I could be home by half 4 if someone was definitely coming out.
Left work early, went home, no-one showed up.
Phoned this morning and had following conversation -

Me - HAI no-one showed up on friday. Why is this?
CI - oh, did no-one come out over the weekend?
Me - (inwardly wtf? weekend?) No...
CI - Ah, they said they'd call sometime over the weekend so I left it at that.
Me - Well. They didn't. At least not while I was in. But then I Did Not Know They Were Supposed To Be Coming, so I might have been out.
CI - Ok, we can send someone round today then, are you in?
Me - (taking Very Deep Breaths). NO. I am in. I am AT WORK. And I will Be ALL DAY.
CI - oh right, when do you finish?
Me - Six. And since I have now taken time off on THREE separate occasions now for this, I am not doing so again.
CI - How about tomorrow morning?
Me - IF they are are there before half 9, I will be in. Otherwise I will be At Work. GOOD DAY SIR.

We Shall See.
If they are not, next time, I will be talking to the manager, not the Clueless Idiot.

Gnah.

ANYWAY. Otherwise, I had a very nice weekend. Sat. started of with blissful lazing, lie-in, pottering about, looong hot bath with lush bubbles, then down to see family.

Sunday, playing with niece and nephew, sorting some house stuff out for the mother, then back home to commence More Clearing out of Crap. Got a shredder, so had much fun shredding old statements etc. Very Slowly am decluttering. Very Very slowly. Baby steps, etc ;p
Then spent the evening idling on the mud, mostly in teh dunking pool. Which was fun!

Today I will be mostly vaguely working and muttering curses at the Clueless Idiot. Actually, if they are not there tomorrow, I will be Writing A Letter.

If you've outgrown 'Miss', what are you gonna change it to? I put in a pre-emptive vote for 'Overlord' :D

I was thinking a fake^H^H^H^Hforgotten title.

Lady Helen of Hellisonland

You could claim it was a short lived country in 1800s Africa, home of the tonker.

I'm pretty sure if you just start using Lady as a title people won't question it. And if they do, just stare them down!

Ooh, or Vicereine! That way you sound like some kind of porn empire owner. Or possibly soy milk drink.

she ought to go for Mistress. imo.

Yeah, but then you'd have to change first name as well.

Mistress Hellison doesn't have the right kink to it.

Mistress Lobexotica?

wtf? lobexotica? that makes it sound like i go around chucking porn at people

Actually. that sounds like a GRAET job.

It was ment to be Lobster erotica :/ Probably involving red pvc claws.

But I guess that works too!

I actually prefer Empress. But I am quite taken with Vicereine ;p

Ooh Overload is good. Also Empress.

Tho hmm. surely Overlady? Overperson?

In the case of Clueless Idiot, Grand High Executioner is seeming increasingly apt.

Yeah, my mother-in-law keeps stumbling across the native Clueless Idiot. She works from home, which helps with the 'not being in' thing, but then they assume she's entirely incompetent in, say, building-related matters (even though she's spent many, many years renovating the houses she's lived in - my good lady wife informed me once that paint-speckled hands were a large feature of her childhood ;) )

Yes. I think oestrogen does something to the Brane which prevent it from understanding anything about Building, use of tools, or indeed Cars.

I still have 'fond' memories of the salesman who, when I asked him to show me the dipstick of the new car and where oil and water went in, replied "but why would you need to know that?".

Why sir, because dipsticks are wonderful for when you run out of coat hangers for your lady undergarments, and oil and water from car engines are so good for one's complexion.

Here, let me show you. Yes, I know the engine's hot, but it'll only sting for a moment.

haha, i wish i AHD said that. Instead i opened the bonnet myself, found them and showed HIM where they were ;p

What about Madame? It even has a standard abbreviation!

Slightly different connotations tho ;p

GOOD DAY SIR.

i really hope you actually said this!

Only if she had a scarf to flick over her shoulder and flounce away from the phone...

sadly no. Well, i said it LOUDLY in my head, but not to him ;p

Good luck with the morrow.

If all else fails, you can try and shred the Kitchen idiot...

oooh there's a thought!
*packs shredder in car*

I'm now getting a Fargo vibe, especially with your post today.

Well it is only a a paper shredder. but I reckon I could at least get a hand in. Or... something ;)

Something eh? But how do you know he will have earlobes?

(deleted comment)

heh, maybe ;p

'Good Afternoon, I am Miss EATIN. Procure me my shelves this instant young man!'

HEY YO I AM MISS EATIN, AND I LIKE EATIN YOUNG MEN, SO IF YO DON'T FIX MA SHELVES I'LL START MUNCHIN.

Oh here you could also get a DEATHMIRROR as per

leedy.....

I'm very pleased that people are enjoying the dunking!

It's great fun! And a nice place to idle for a bit and chat too ;) Also, swimming tms!

And it's another achievement, like the haunting ones, that is making witches very popular! yay for brooms ;p
