Phone calls. Mostly because my boss doesn't like to deliver or hear bad news, so whenever she has to give or receive it, she makes me make the phone call. I sometimes have small anxiety attacks when the phone rings and larger ones if the bad news thing is involved.
Apologizing for things that my boss did, to the boss that did them. Boss chooses to install shareware, shareware screws up computer, I apologize because I should have magically known she was going to do and and stopped her. If I don't apologize I get rancid glares.
I also apologize for the actions of my co-workers. If they do something wrong, then it's my fault because I guess while trying to pull seven hours of billable I'm supposed to hover over them and make sure they follow the procedure manual to the letter.
Getting pissy when I'm told to concentrate on a project and am then interrupted 25 times an hour to have my brain picked or get chatted up.
Rationalizing bad sci-fi. I can't help it, if there's a plot hole I have to try to plug it in my head or I can't enjoy the movie.
Playing AGS games when I should be re-programming my website.
Falling asleep while watching television.
Reading in the tub for about two hours every night.
Doing for my boss what she should be doing herself.
Not noticing that people have "accidentally" left most of their paperwork on my desk... that is until they announce that they're desk is clean and mine is loaded with paperwork.
Losing my cup of coffee, my pen, my pad of paper, my mind, etc.
Allowing my boss to use my credit rating for business loans. Let's just hope she makes the payments.
Telling my boss that we can't fault my co-worker because her husband is an asshole.
Telling people "I have to pull seven hours of billable in the same time that you have to pull your measley four hours, so would you like some cheese with your whine?". I don't intend to break this habit since it shuts them up.
Telling people that marriage is an excercise in masochism and that having children is an 18-year-long prison sentence, followed by a second-mortgage with a high interest rate, and then a bad nursing home. It upsets the unmarried and childless.
Automatically filling out my self-evaluations as terrible across the board.
Hoping for a response when I email the long-distance boyfriend. It's emotionally taxing. I should stop caring.
Sleeping pills. I'd really like to stop, but if I don't take them, I'll go months without sleeping.
Caffiene tablets for all-nighters. Although I can't sleep without a pill, I do tend to get droopy at night so when pulling an all-nighter I overload on caffeine. This causes kidney stones and then I have to take time-off from work and money on prescriptions to pass them.
Banging my head on my desk. Mostly happens when someone tries to do my job for me and ultimately makes more work for me (like the co-worker who did all the filing when I was out sick with stones.) It looked like she randomly threw the paperwork in random files for the wrong companies. It took me two months of working weekends to straighten out the mess.
Doing all the housework. My roommate is supposed to do half, but she frequently says that she's "too tired" and unless I want the place to reek, I do it.
Hoarding emails. Both at work and home. I just can't seem to delete them. Probably because at work, I'm told that "you never told me that" and I have - in email.
Converting forms that my boss made in Excel to Word where appropriate. She uses Excel every time she has to use a table. Turns out only one or two of the twenty-five or so forms she made actually are easier to fill out and are more maintainable in Excel.
Loaning people money.
Having friends. See last item for explanation.
Wearing four-inch heels. My knees hurt...but I'm taller
Buying skirts and shorts but never wearing them - no thanks to Hollywood.
Buying evening wear and never wearing it because I don't go out.
Offering to do things for people and then letting them take advantage.
Crest White Strips. My teeth hurt... but they're brighter.
Absentmindedly scratching my arms and legs even though they don't itch. I do this at night while sleeping and at day while thinking.
Lightly tapping any idle fingers on the keyboard while typing. My doctor says it isn't helping the carpal tunnel.
Taking in abused and neglected ferrets. I have to stop because pretty soon, I won't have the capacity to properly care and house more.
Mentioning passing interests to my mother ("Since I can't find clothes in my size, maybe I should look into making them" Next thing I know, I'm being given a sewing machine.)
Greeting people who walk into the office. I'm 20 feet away from the door and I have to maneuver around obstacles to get to the counter. But if I get up and meet them at the counter, they feel like it's their duty to walk behind the counter in order to state their business. Did I mention that we have a person who's the official greeter and whose job it is to get her fat butt out of her chair and approach them so they don't come behind the counter - but she instead keeps her fat butt in the chair and just says "'Allo!".
Not sitting up straight. This has actually caused bursitis in my right shoulder when filing for extended periods of time (say 2 or 3 hours straight).
Buying cheap underclothes in one or two sizes too large because I'm shopping locally. This is mostly because only the expensive mailorder sites have the stuff that fits right. Buying the wrong size leads to numerous wedgies and more back problems.
Buying calenders, etc. from Despair.com. I can't help it they're too damned funny (and true...).
Allowing people to rush me when working. This often leads to mistakes and there really isn't a need to rush me. I can go through the same amount of work as my co-works in half the time and end up with less mistakes. They and my boss can attest to this.
Allowing myself to get distracted by co-workers' muttering to themselves.
Listening in on this end of the co-worker's business calls to ensure that they're actually making the calls. This started happening at my boss's request a few years back and a couple of months ago we stopped needing to have it done due to other measures that were taken. Now that I've started, I can't seem to stop.
Making excuses for my boss's odd behavior and arbitrary decisions.
Allowing my co-workers to assume that I remember everything they said just because I can sometimes recall entire coversations word for word.
Not ensuring that when I tell co-workers to talk to the boss about something because I don't have the authority help them with it, they they actually talk to the boss about it.
