An email of mine just triggered the "profanity filter" at Smoking Lawyer's new firm. Ha. And it was a quote from my boss too, and not my own personal profanity, which is depressing.
The lovely little system we have for charging our printing to a file requires that you input a "remark" for the item you're printing if you charge it to "Personal". I don't know what they expect you to put there to describe your fucking personal printing. "STD test results", perhaps?
I think it's a product of the program they use and not actually their decision, but it irritates the crap out of me anyway. I rattle my hand randomly across the keyboard for the "remark", resulting hopefully in list of printing somewhere in the bowels of the server with remarks like "lhaseg" and "aejh". I'm secretly hoping that someone thinks it's a mysterious code and asks me about it, so that I can inform them I'm rebelling.
(How crap am I at being a rebel? Honestly. "Hi! I'm rebelling! Hope it isn't inconveniencing you or anything!")
In other news, I got a raise, and am now finally making more money than my husband. (My husband. Ha! Still an amusing concept.) Not much more money, granted - and not as much money as Smoking Lawyer, damn her and her fancy new firm. Actually, due to my University debt he's probably still getting more money in the bank, but I don't think I'll remind him of that just yet. I want to revel more in my status as master breadwinner.

We had to do the "remark" thing at the Big Fancy accounting firm I used to work at. People were always putting things like "job application" or "resume and cover letter" to voice their dissatisfaction.
I thought about that Tessie, but I think they'd just take me seriously. And it's a bit too close to my current thinking at the moment to work as a protest ;-)
I currently STILL earn less than my academic partner. Which is just wrong.
That is just wrong Oanh - I'm so proud of my miniscule lead over the no-Uni-degree Prince.
