Dear Lady who barged into my office unnanounced when I was with a client

[sparkindarkness]

I do not care why you did it. It doesn’t matter. You don’t have a reason good enough to excuse what you just did. How do I know that? Because there ISN’T a good enough reason for barging in unannounced. Not now, not ever. About the only way you could be justified is if you’re a member of the bomb squad and you only have 10 seconds to defuse a bomb that has been attached to my desk by an irate client who is tired of being chewed on by the Hounds.

And the proper response to my telling you to get out is to leave meekly while mumbling apologies and planning to retreat from the world in shame to a convent somewhere. You do not angrily yell "do you know who I am?" when I told her to leave because I was with a client.

No, I don't know who you are. Mad Secretary doesn't know who you are. The Paralegals don't know who you are. Even the Guardians don't know who you are and the reception staff know who everyone is if there is even the slightest potential for gossip. We even got the security tapes out (very wrongly) and had a gathering of all the staff in the office to see if ANYONE knew who you are. Guess what, honey? None of us know who you are. The world not only doesn't revolve around you, it doesn't even know about you. It most certainly doesn't care. Hate to shatter your illusions. Just get out.

And y'know what? I don't care if you're a judge. I don't care if you are Queen Elizabeth with a face lift and that sour expression is because you've rammed a crown up your arse for safe keeping. I don't care if you're the pope in drag. I don't care if you're a member of the Secret Service who wants to relocate me to a hidden prison of their choice. This is my office. I am with a client. Even the Senior Partners (the grand powers that be) wouldn’t barge in like that.

Now the Hounds have been told to bite chunks off this lady if she returns, but I must make sure they have fully updated inoculations first.

Maybe she was an escapee from a soap opera who had just gotten amnesia after almost sleeping with her long lost brother who everyone thought was dead. She's just trying to find out who she is, so she can get back in time to stop the wedding between her best friend and her ex-boyfriend because she's pregnant with his child. Show a little compassion, dammit!

Best possible answer :)

[jrho.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I try.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

ow, my brain, my brain!

[logophilos.livejournal.com]

And did you ever find out who she was? And why you were supposed to know who the fuck she was?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

No. Really, we haven't.

None of us know her and because she left in such a huff and hasn't returned we can assume that I have driven her off.

One of the guardians suspects she is the wife of a local councillor...

If she returns please get video of the hounds in action. Extra points if someone says "No, we DON'T know who you are and neither do they."

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Definitely

and I think we may preserve some of her blood - for a DNA test. For identification purposes.

If the hounds are that thorough you might want to have some sponges and baggies around so you can return whatever they leave of her to the family.

I think about things too much, you know. :)

You're back! I've missed your posts!

That lady sounds like a self-important bitch with delusions of grandeur. Why didn't anyone stop her from barging in?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I live again!

Theyn only one between my door and her was Mad Secretary. She says she was ready to tear out her throat but the carpets had only just been cleaned and it seems a shame to make a mess of them

(we ahve no guards or anything, just the receptionists and secretary - from what I gather it would ahve taken physically restraining her to sotp her and they didn';t even realise what she planned until after she did it)

Well, whoever the hell she is, she clearly does not and will never have the services of anyone working at your firm. Would she burst in on a surgery, too?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

This woman? Yes yes she woul;d. For she is god and we must all worship her shininess

Dying with curiosity

[speaks.livejournal.com]

I really want to know who she is. Such Chutzpah is its own reward.

Re: Dying with curiosity

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I have to say, I really want to know as well. But we never got her name when she stormed off in a huff - and since she was bitching because we didn';t know who she was, asking her is likely to annoy her even mre

Bonus.

The Hounds know who she is. She is Delicious and Crunchy and tastes good with Barbeque Sauce. Extra crispy.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

The Hounds will track her. Mayube they can bring me a qwell barbequed piece to identify her from?
