Things continue to not go well at work, so I will continue to bore you with the details. 

My job is pretty deadline driven, especially at the end of the month.   From the start I had no problem with this aspect of the job.   I'm very organized (at work, anyway) and I always finish my work on time or early.  In fact, there were many, many times when I was finished so far ahead of the deadline that I took on other people's work, helped to conduct interviews for new hires (not part of my job description, but I was asked to help because of my staffing background), and participated in special projects, seminars, and training sessions.  I did all of these things in addition to my own work. 

I can think of two times in the past year and nine months when I was unable to finish something by the deadline.  (Incidently, both times the deadlines were internal and set by me.  In other words, the client wasn't expecting the document anytime soon, but my boss had asked when it would be done and I had estimated I would finish it by a certain time.)  The first time I was unable to finish by an internal deadline was about two months ago.  The second time was today.  Both cases involved special circumstances beyond my control that are not interesting to relate or read, so I will refrain. 

When I informed my boss in an e-mail today that I MIGHT not be able to meet the internal deadline today, she sent me a very snotty e-mail saying, "In the future, please prioritize your work (the way any fucking moron would prioritize work in our department.)" 

She didn't say that exactly, but she might as well have.  The helpful prioritization "advice" she gave me in that e-mail (I won't say exactly what she wrote because it's kind of specific to my company and I'm paranoid) is something that everyone in my department was taught from day one - something she clearly knows I know how to do, and something I do EXTREMELY WELL 99.999999% of the time.  So why did she say it?  Clearly it's thinly veiled condescension and rudeness.  It's like saying, "In the future, please don't be stupid." 

For the record, I busted my ass and finished the document today by the deadline.  I hope they choke on it.
