Frazzling Stepzilla

Yesterday I get a request from Stepzilla to print a letter for her. I open the letter and instantly notice a fragment sentence hanging out in the middle of the page like an incomplete thought. I’m annoyed. Last week I had to print letters for her that were FULL of typos. So, frustrated, I email Stepzilla back her letter.

(sadly, I’m far too diplomatic to piss her off, but diplomatic enough to make her worry)

Stepzilla,
Can you look over this letter one last time before I send it out? It has floating incomplete sentences and missing bullets. The other letter I just sent out had the wrong name for the class and the wrong name for the sponsor (which I fixed). I'm just worried I might miss something. I'll look over this letter, too; I'd just feel safer if you looked over it again.

Thanks!

What did last week’s letter say? Can you send me the original?

Attached.

For today’s letter - did you mean the second sentence?? It isn't missing a bullet it-s just a long sentence. If you break the line at right case instead it will make more sense. Do you see what i mean? Let me know if I'm missing something else. Thanks for looking so closely.

I don’t even get a chance to reply before she runs into the room with both last week’s and today’s letter. She wants to know exactly which errors were on last week’s letter that I fixed and acts mildly defeated when I point them out. They were HER letters after all.

She didn’t even see the random floating incomplete thought. I have to point that out to her as well. And her response? “Oh, I totally skimmed right over that. Well, just make it a sentence.” Right, a floating sentence ALSO doesn’t make any sense. I don’t know why I bother.

Needless to say, I had her completely frazzled the rest of the afternoon. She tried to blow off her errors on another department (her good ole’ scapegoat department), but when I narrowed down who might be responsible IN that department (Einstein), she dropped the topic like a hot potato. Can’t really blame it on Einstein, now can ya, Stepzilla? She then made a point of thanking me multiple times for catching her error. Right, like if I DIDN’T catch it, she would have just blamed me. Because I WAS the last person to SEE it. Bastards.

Ah, but at least I can have my fun while I’m here. If I can’t find a new damned job, then at least I can torment the hell out of my boss.
