If looks could kill...
Mmmmmkay, long time lurker, first time poster.
My job is Administrative Assistant at a Christ-centered church with a ministry oriented to LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender) folk. What I find funny about this job is that I ended up getting it after beginning to study Wicca. Odd that! Part of my job is scheduling the congregant groups within the church, as well as ordering office supplies... so I'm a general office monkey pretty much!
Rant #1: During the week before your event, don’t ask me if there is a room open between services on Sunday. I will laugh at you. I am not the dumbass who planned an event and failed to reserve a space for it… get it to me 2-3 weeks before you need it (as has been said to you repeatedly many, many times before) and you’ll probably get it. Rooms during Sunday are at a premium due to us renting space from another church.
And don’t change the time on your event during the week before your event… you’re only pissing people off and screwing yourself over if you’re dumb enough to tell people it’s at the earlier time without getting such information to me. Do you know the reservation@insertnameofchurchhere email address? I know that you do because you’ve emailed me before. I really don’t mind being your office monkey, as long as you use something called COMMON SENSE to run your groups with.
Rant #2: To my dear co-worker: I KNOW that you’re a diva and that you MUSTMUSTMUST have a particular color and type of binder for your job. What my supervisor (who, I might add is also YOUR supervisor) is telling me is that we NEEDNEEDNEED to use the binders that we ALREADY HAVE in the office, and not to buy out of frivolity or preference. If the ½ inch binders aren’t all the same color, Armageddon will not come any sooner. If you are going to request a specific type of Rolodex cards, then I suggest that you PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE LOOK IN THE OFFICE STORAGE AREA where you will find Rolodex cards of multiple sizes and shapes aplenty. Don’t make me sic the Head Pastor on you when she starts breathing down my neck about how we’re 300% over budget for office supplies. We have ‘em; you’ll use ‘em. If you have an issue with that, you are free to spend YOUR OWN MONEY on items for your job. If you have an issue with even THAT, then you need to talk to our supervisor about finding a different line of work. We are a CHURCH, not DONALD fucking TRUMP and cannot afford NOT to use the things we have here at the office!

Your humble and easily amused Administrative Assistant
