If the boss dude told her to make a copy and she decided to just give you the other guy's key, then gently caress her. You got a key, like the boss said, it's no business of yours how she did it. When the other guy gets back and needs a key she can make a copy of 'her' key. Like she was told to do.

Everyone hates me at my office. Because they crunch numbers, and estimate how much it costs a building to be made. But apparently, me, the staff artist, gets to sit around and "fool with photoshop"

I take half assed revit and autocad files, fix them so that the geometry makes sense, and render them in 3D Studio max with an accurate sunlight simulation, using the v-ray rendering suite, in addition to completed landscape designs that have to be implemented as proxies because an accurate model is so polygon intensive 6 or 7 trees would crash the scene.

And yes, I take their 300 by 300 pixel artifacted all to hell .jpg plan views that they scanned into photoshop, and redraw them in illustrator so that when they are printed full size on 11 x 17 paper, they don't look like the internet threw up on the paper.

At least once a day, I hear about how easy I have it, and I'd better feel lucky for being able to coast like I do.

Which is why I feel no guilt for surfing the forums when I'm waiting for something to render.

I think the thing I hate most is 'Good morning.' Then I feel necessarily obligated to return the greeting and my day is shot to hell.

I'm standard salaried 8-5 Monday through Friday but had to work 10pm to 1am Saturday night to verify output for a large data fix. I had to do it because I run all projects for my department, because no one knows our procedures and how they relate to our admin systems better than I do, because two years ago every senior person in my department -- except for me -- left in the span of a month. The data fix was necessary in the first place because of a build up of dozens of misinterpretations of contractual obligations and their impact on admin system calculations over the last 10 years.

For me, this is the worst part of working corporate: lovely responsibilities inexorably dropped into my lap due to years and years of piss poor decisions and mistakes by people who probably don't even work there anymore. I've given up entirely on accountability for this kind of thing; I just wish I had a single person or department I could get irrationally angry at so I at least had something to vent about at the end of the day.

Even if I had omnipotent control over the entire company beginning today, I would still have to deal with these past mistakes for another 10 years before they were entirely shaken out.

Sorry to disappoint you. Now I'm going to go play the Wii with some fellow employees.
