so basically El Presidente is the Mad King Aerys but female (so I guess combined with Cersei)

the sales department are the Lannisters who wine and dine their prospects while building exactly zero reliable business relationships

and we poor schmucks in marketing are the honorable but downtrodden Starks who tried to support the Lannisters but are ultimately horribly betrayed

fck all you guys WINTER IS COMING YOU SONS OF BITCHES

• context: el presidente of my company is basically insane and likes to fling flaming poo in the form of Well Meaning Boss Mom Bullshit Lectures at my department
• Yuan: I really hope it isn't (~more time and money~ keeping el prez from hiring competent employees) because then she doesn't understand business
• me: what it actually is, I think, is that those people who're supposed to do the hiring don't have the bloody time to think about who to hire
•  cuz we're running around like headless chickens
•  also, marketing = overhead, so obviously we'll keep replacing/hiring sales and engineers
•  but no marketing
•  and we'll get passed random interns that our department didn't even get to decide if we want or not
•  but because they are "assets" that help us "strengthen business relationships" (i.e. nepotism)
•  this is like fucking horrible corporate game of thrones
•  marry the Frey intern we'll get their bridge
•  we need that bridge Robb!
• Yuan: HAHAHAHA

with no power comes all responsibility \o/

it’s going to be a bad week at work so colleagues and I went to the supermarket at lunch for necessary provisions

yes, after talking about it for a year I now finally have whiskey at work

now I just need a larger thermos to make my Irish whiskey tea cuz booze + hot water vapors = the worst way to keep a secret in the office

in the meantime I’m going to drink it out of my Starbucks Vanilla Frappe bottle

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I don’t typically like to advertise for my company but goddammit so much hard work and ingenuity went into this I’m gonna pimp the hell out of it. My CEO is insane as usual and thought it’d be so much fun to make a company-wide Christmas video and as usual my brilliant team of marketing magicians (especially my manager) was able to transform the shit task we were given into gold. (I had to teach that infernal dance to a company full of straight-faced middle-aged Asians that are practically allergic to fun. It wasn’t easy.)

SON OF A BITCH 

I got pranked at lunch. 

I was at a Japanese restaurant with 6 other coworkers from marketing. I knew something was up when my manager whispered something to my design senpai-coworker, then sent me to the bathroom to get napkins, saying that he felt nauseous.

I returned, handed him a huge wad of napkins, and proceeded to blithely eat my complimentary green tea ice cream, which for some reason was causing a slightly tingly sensation around the edge of my mouth. In the meantime my coworker to my right was cracking up about something and wouldn’t stop laughing and my other coworker kept grinning and my manager, with napkins pressed up over his face, was tearing up, and guys what the hell is going on — oh. Oh yeah that’s. That’s wasabi. In my mouth. In my green tea ice cream. 

I furiously scooped the wasabi out of my bowl as my whole table collapsed into uncontrolled laughter, then, as a FUCK YOU to everyone, scooped it back in and proceeded to eat the rest of my modified ice cream. Think you got one on me think again. Assholes. 

can I please just go home already and watch some more Stargate SG1 and play ME3MP and possibly run through a storm

I am so done with this day

I haven’t even been able to sit comfortably for the past 2 hours
