To give you some idea of how wonderfully my day at work went today, at one point, the random thought passed through my head that if any of the guys had come up to me and asked me if I were supremely irritated because I was getting my period, I was going to wait until the next time they got pissed off about something and sympathetically ask them if they were aggravated because they'd been kicked in the nuts recently.

Urgh. Time to write. Finally.

sympathetically ask them if they were aggravated because they'd been kicked in the nuts recently.

I plan to use that line in the future, so thanks for it.

I know you're talking hypothetically right now, but I just hate it when men assume that if you feel angry/grumpy/upset/sad/moody/whatever it is related to your period, because obviously women aren't allowed to have any other emotion but demure or perky without a reason like "it's biology, they can't help it."

Especially irritating to me since I don't even get any noticable PMS symptoms (something like 40% of women don't)-- but what do you know, when I get mad at their assumption because it's stupid, that just reinforces it in their minds. Ugh.

Well, if they say No, you could do a field goal kick as sweetly ask How about now?

I fear Trollprincess when she is at her sweetest...

Unfortunately, I can always tell when I'm getting mine because I get incredibly angry at every little thing the day before I get it without fail. And considering Boy-on-Boy Action is the kind of belligerent moron who thinks it's okay to say something like that, I've been asked it at work, and it damn near made my eyes roll right out of my head.

I'm especially surprised nobody asked me yesterday, because they all kept looking at me as if I had no reason to be pissed. Never mind that Bosslady forbid me from touching the Internet at all (even to print out the xmmficathon story I have yet to finish), I got yelled at for not answering a phone call because I was answering another phone call, and the Glorified Optimist kept giving me all of the data entry work when the new guy is supposed to be taking over that work. ARGH. I couldn't run out the door fast enough at nine.

But don't they know that the cute ones are the most dangerous?

Well, the Glorified Optimist was incredibly shocked when he told me I had to answer the phones and I argued with him that I was trying to finish up a phone call with a co-worker from another station at the time. Then he had the nerve to say I had to "take my headphones off," because somehow he thinks an earpiece phone and earbuds for a minidisc player are the same damn thing.

*growls* Anybody pulls any shit with me today and it won't be pretty. After that Internet ban, I got so annoyed because I got the impression Bosslady thought that I wasn't getting my work done because of it. The only person who didn't offend me yesterday was Lieutenant Asshat, and that guy hasn't pissed me off in months.

Did you hand his ass to him, explaining that you were not wearing them? I know the feeling. Only two of the managers worked this week and half the departmentwas writen up.

Oh, yes. I believe the phrase, "That's the phone, you idiot," escaped my lips. I'm sincerely lucky that this place is one of the worst-organized places I've ever worked, because I can get away with saying shit like that.

Managers are fun. They can't perform basic tasks, but have fun corrected us when we do them.

I get my mood swings once it's started, usually the first or second day, and almost never before, and my irritableness is usually tied to cramps, which make me irritable enough to begin with.
