Where do I apply to get a minion from the henchman's union?

One with a brain. Or two.

A minion that, when told "File only what is in the folder marked TO BE FILED into the subfolders in the cabinet," does not decide that anything lying around loose in the office is fine to put in the TO BE FILED folder.

Including unposted payables. Unpaid tax remittances. Unposted credit card charges. Insurance documents. Everything and anything which was very specifically left out of the folder and organized in very specific ways so that it would not be filed in with the paid and posted payables.

And of course it's my fault because I said "File only what is in the folder marked TO BE FILED into the subfolders in the cabinet," but did not clearly state "Do not randomly add crap to the TO BE FILED folder." Also, unlike the last one, she is the boss's best friend who only works for two hours a day yet manages to get in enough screwing up for a full eight hours. At least she's efficient, I guess.

Oh, and she just called me over because a statement value doesn't match an invoice of something she is filing and the reason they don't match because they are for two completely and obviously different people. And then she coughed on me.

And now I'm stuck in the office late trying to fix what got mis-filed.

Why can I not get a competant minion? Has someone filed a grievance against me with the union or what???

...Oh god. Bunny. I'll be back.

Uhhhh... *throws things at the wall on your behalf*

You made me remember, "Harmony has MINIONS?!" I'll have that in my brain all night.

*throws things at the wall on your behalf*

Thank you. I would be so much happier if I didn't have to work with people.

"Harmony has MINIONS?!"

I'm probably being daft in asking this, but what's that from?

Yes, I thought 'Harmony has minions" too.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Five; Harmony (vamped at graduation) decides that she's Buffy's arch-enemy and sets herself up with minions; sends a threatening note through the window with a smiley face over the 'i' in "die"; when Buffy eventually confronts her Harmony says, "So, Slayer, we meet at last" to which Buffy, who went to high school with her for four years says something along the lines of "Harmony, you half-wit, we've met".

That's all I remember and I'm a little freaked that I remember all that off the top of my head!

Sorry to hear about your minion issues. It is so hard to find good help these days! *grins*

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Five

Heh, cool. Does explain why I didn't recognize it though, I haven't seen Buffy except for the movie and the series finale.

Sorry to hear about your minion issues. It is so hard to find good help these days! *grins*

At this point, I'd settle for incompetant help the boss would acknowledge was incompetant or at least anything but utterly perfect. The whole 'She's my friend, therefore she's perfect and can do no wrong' thing is really getting on my nerves.

Eh. I need to get to sleep. I'm hoping for a repeat of last night's dream where I kept accidentally dialing Jeffery Dean Morgan's telephone number by mistake anytime I tried to make a phone call and we had all these fantastic long conversations about random philosophical and silly stuff for hours and hours. It was a very calm and relaxing dream. :-)

Hey, snap! Mine involved working somewhere in the US with Jensen (no idea whether it was on the set of Supernatural or not) and the job ended and I was going to lose my green card so he employed me as a personal assistant so I could stay in the country.

And then my alarm went off, but I quite liked where the whole thing was going.

You and your minion issues are in the prayers of Pastor Sam (see icon) and myself (sadly no cute icon of me available).

Nawwww, That's sweet. :-)

The Bunny is for Dr Horrible isn't it?

Yeah. It's the post after this one.

My SPN bunnies are getting mad at me, but the Dr. Horrible bunnies are so damned loud and insistent right now. I'm a bit worried people on my f-list think I'm switching fandoms, but I'm not. Arg.

No one said you had to limit yourself to a single fandom. Did they?

No, but I have an easily triggered guilt complex. :-P

Fair enough. :)

Ugh. I understand completely.

I hate it when they blame YOU for their screw-ups. And if they have to fix it themselves, they'll be constantly reminding you that it was YOUR fault (when in fact it's not!)

Grr. Let me know when you get that competent minion so I can get one too!

Absolutely. And because she's the boss's best friend, there is no way to fight it. And the odds of her ever having to fix it herself are minimal. She's one of those people who feign helplessness to get other people to do things for them. :-P

Let me know when you get that competent minion so I can get one too!

Oh, absolutely. :-)

Grr… People who take orders from other people should have training in how to do so. Seriously, it's not as hard as they make it out to be. *hugs*

Sorry to hear you're stuck with such a pathetic minion. I suppose you could always build yourself a better one? This solution would allow the encoding of useful phrases like "Yesh Marshter," "I live to serve you, milady," or "Ex.Ter.Mi.Nate!" I'm sure the Evil League of Evil would approve, even if the Henchmen Union doesn't.

Have you read the post that follows this one yet...? ;-)

Have now! Still think building a minion is easier than getting into the Evil League of Evil so you can get an Official Henchman though.

oh for flip-flappin' heck's sake.

it sounds like even half a brain would be an upgrade....

(hoping you got things sorted?)

Meh. I think I got the worst of it figured out. If I didn't, we might be getting reminder notes from our vendors. Which will also be my fault. :-P

*offers Dean to help relieve the stress*

*imagines Dean showing up at the office*

Heh. Unless he can file things, I don't know what he'd do to relieve the stress there. :-/

Although I did have a dream once where Sam was pretending to be Jared and being a repair guy in my office because Dean was being held captive by the building in some way.

I had this idea. Since I do have to file myself here too--or fix things being *&*&%^*&-up in the filing system, how about I offer myself for minion duties for a day? Just show up at your office and sort--what do you think? I would just like to have a day at work that doesn't involve shouting, being irrational, having to read my bosses' mind or...well all of it:P Anyway, hugs for you--and a large sword or sawed-off shotgun for the braindead loser.

I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. I had to physically leave the room a couple times because people were discussing their bladders for several hours directly behind my parabola-shaped, sound-gathering desk. :-P

That is just...disgusting and not appropriate. Then again, we are talking about people in your office, and inappropriate is probably the least comment I might come up with:P Hey, at least we can give you a little sanity for a couple of hours on sun:)

Sharon

Sanity? We don' need no sanity! I expect complete and utter insanity!

Heh. I have no idea what we'll be doing though. I kind of fail in the get-together-planning department. :-P At this point it might be Sarah Jane Chronicles and tea.
