31st January, 2003.

Head hurts. I just won an argument with the Cow-orker about whether she should or shouldn't take shortcuts when entering data, and now I'm waiting for her to her to ignore what I said and do it the way she wants behind my back, anyway.

She's sitting on her side of the Cow-orker Barrier letting out deep, bitter sighs at having been asked to enter extra lines of information instead of "this one line here that covers it all but doesn't actually tell you what it covers unless you know to refer to the supplier's website".

Still a week or so until we hear about whether she's got the marketing job.

"It's not fair!" she bellows discretely down the phone at her spouse. "Why does [our manager] keep asking me the same question over and over again? What does he want from me?"

Oh, I don't know. How about a frikking straight answer that doesn't contradict the previous one for a change?
