"And I'm Sending Out This Email Because...?"

Back from a spectacular Labor Day weekend. The weather remained perfect, the festivities were plentiful, and there was absolutely no mention of work or anything that may have been associated with it (so peaceful).

Today has gone by smoothly thus far, with the exception of some minor A.M. drama over the usual fare. Best news of the hour would have to be that Mr. Tibbs has granted me an early leave in the anticipation of Ms. Wilkes' absence later on this afternoon (which means I can get in a long and much needed workout before dinner). To tell you that I pigged out all weekend is a HUGE understatement. The highlight of my food binge would have to have been the chocolate fondue fountain with assorted cookies, fruits and marshmallows for dipping...do they make these for home use?

So I tend to get many requests from Ms. Wilkes for sending out emails to a variety of different individuals including (but not limited to): high powered execs, directors, producers, actors/actresses, investors, doctors, lawyers, accountants, pimps, bail bondsmen and mixologists. The ones that always get me though are those that include personal notes from Ms. Wilkes that she would like me to send VIA my own work email account. Why oh why if she has her own email address can she not simply send the email out HERSELF? Isn't it just as much work (if not more) to type up an email herself and send it to me to then send out to the person in question?

Isn't it more focused, meaningful and all together less confusing if the individual receiving the email sees that the message they received signed by her directly has NOT gone through some strange and impractical filtering process which ultimately appears to the receiving end like a bizarre power trip by simply symbolizing that she may be too all and powerful/busy to send off her own emails? Don't get me wrong, if there is any way possible that I can achieve making her look all the more insane to others then add it to the top of my list, but in this case, I’d at least like to understand her logic. Then again, understanding the logic of a producer is like trying to decipher the individual personalities of a schizophrenic minister.

I have absolutely ZERO theories as to why I'm forced to continue this type of busy work other than that it is to only one more portray her need to control anything and everything. For all the fuck I know, tomorrow she could outlaw the consumption of Hersey Kisses. It's all...one...big...abuse of power. Furthermore, I must contest that it must drive her absolutely insane to know that she has no control over when or how I chose to spend my time away from work or take a paid vacation day...and this my friends...is revenge enough.
