Bad Attitude
Phrases Uttered By Coworkers, Friends, And Family Members That Are Likely To Cause The Clenching Of Valette's Jaw And Glaring Of Valette's Eyes (Or, Possibly, Valette's Attitude Is Just Quite Sour And Being Around People Is Not Helping):
"Well, you see, the vision of all of this is to..."
Do you know how much of my time this wastes? Just tell me what you need me to do and when you need it completed; I don't need to know the process you took to get to this visionary masterpiece.
"I need it as soon as possible."
Then it's just not possible, sorry. This is the flag that puts your emergency at the bottom of my to do list. Give me a specific time you need it or it won't get done.
"I just sent you an email, but..."
"Did you get my email? I just sent it."
If you were going to call me about it anyway, why send an email in the first place?
"I am just trying to think."
How does one try to think? Either one is thinking or one is not. This one gets to me much more than it ought.
"You're not busy, are you?"
Are you serious?

My other favorite is, "I need a resolution today." Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but you may not get one.
