So I didn't want to take up 1/2 a page on tomorrow's post, so I am ranting here. Feel free to ignore, but if you've had a shitty day, misery would love some company
In fun news, apparently the vendor for whom we are supposed to be a significant client called my boss's counterpart at corporate to complain that some of us were having a bit too much attitude with them. And apparently I was especially singled out.
First, we are YOUR client, by choice, so you probably should just put up with the fact that we are not happy, and not highlight that we are addressing our unhappiness in tone. Secondly, I'm sorry, are you not 40 something year old adult men? And a 20 something female is "too mean?" Grow a freaking pair.
At least my boss has my back, but I am worried it will come to bite me later because the group I want to go to next deals heavily with vendors/suppliers, and is at the corporate level. Similar situations have been known to bite people before. And I still have a few more weeks of working with these people heavily. Mind you, I've barely talked to them lately and one woman legit screamed at them on the phone today, and our IT guy has repeatedly done so. But when we have to send you a number of emails over six times each because you are so disorganized, then I think we get the right to be irritated.
Just before this conversation with my boss, my coworker was messing with me and told me 'who said you were slim' and that I have 'triceps like a man.' He was totally shitting with me and I was laughing hysterically, but when this was compounded with the fact that I am apparently mean, I just lost my willpower.

And I drove all the way to get the Oreos and they never freaking had them despite telling me otherwise on the phone. I am ready to defrost the rest of the cheesecake, but think I can fend off the urge.
Pity party done.
*Edit: I am aware this doesn't exactly make me sound like the nicest person, but I have never once raised my voice with them, or said anything intentionally mean or inappropriate. The only thing I ever did, to my recollection, was point out that we shouldn't have to keep resending information so many times.
