I work for a legal office where the attorney barely ever shows up. I am not a lawyer. I am a legal assistant. I am asked daily to perform legal work that a lawyer is trained to do, oh, wait, not asked, it's expected of me. I mean, complex legal work. It's not fair to the client or to me.

I know what I said. I said it would take me three days to finish the report. I said it right to your face. I pointed at everything else I had to do and I said three days. THREE. Not four, not two. THREE. So why the fuck did you tell everyone else in the office I'd have it done in two days.

I hate being almost the only non-family-member working at a family owned business. They are rude obnoxious people and barely speak my language and their family members who are supposed to be working in the office are never there, and that leaves me doing all the work.

Ohmygod I can't believe how much I hate working there. My boss is a jerk a loser and a idiot. I'm always fixing his mistakes and then I get blamed when I miss one of his mistakes. And he's a sexist pig I hate him, his job, and that stinky store.
