Bitch, I didn’t invite you into this conversation…
Grrrrrrrr, I am so fucking tired of people stepping in and trying to do my job, trying to tell me how things that I am responsible for are going to be done, and I think I’ll kick the next person who talks over me in a meeting right in the fucking head!
Again, why did they hire me?!
Well, let me tell ya (again). Because I know what the fuck I am doing! (Besides, why didn’t you get the job then, hmmm?) I’d like to show you that I know what I am doing, but you won’t let me. Oh well, maybe someday, I’ll finally get my big break.
Here’s more on my wishlist:
- Freedom to use my talent as necessary
- Authority to have control over my responsibilities
- Others to shut the fuck up and listen
Pretty simple, eh? (I need to be a creative director.)

In a nutshell,

You’re unintelligent and barely able to do general research, your SEO knowledge is basic if that, and you can’t write using proper grammar.
Then why the fuck did they hire me you chunky little Russian bitch!
And yes, I know there is supposed to be a question mark there, but I chose to break the rule as it’s a rhetorical question (Look it up if you don’t know what rhetorical means. Here’s a hint it might not be in your Russian-English translation book, so go beyond that).
Insecurity is a vicious weapon.
I really didn’t want to believe it when my aunt told me that women are the worst to work with in a corporate environment. Yes, I’ve heard that they are less likely to give another woman a hands-up for fear they may put themselves in jeopardy (women’s studies courses), but I really just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t, but it seems to have crept it’s way into my life like the smell of dirty feet from the office cubical next to me (not really, the office smells fine).
How to get to the top: Sleep with whoever’s above you and crush the ones below.
Need I say more here. Of course I don’t degrade myself this far as to do something like that and apparently, that’s why I am getting squished like an aphid.
Well, what do you do if you’re the aphid? Here’s what I did:
- Printed out about 247 emails contradicting the allegations that I pretty much suck
- Determined I would stick up for myself in the meeting
- Confronted my accuser
- And I’m not done…
After she ignored me and my ridiculous amount of proof, she told me I couldn’t do anything about the false accusations made to compile my annual review (if you can call it a review, I call it a good old-fashion bashing). She stated and I quote,
This is not a draft.
Never underestimate people
Unfortunately she’s banking on my apparent inability to research and the fact that I am new to the company. But, I asked around and I can file a rebuttal. Stay tuned and remember karma is a powerful thing.
