OK, things I hate. Now this REALLY pisses me off. I work as an ERP consultant, so I never know where I'm going to be, and I eventually find out about trips I have to do LITERALLY one day before! Like "Oh, by the way, here's your plane tickets, your flight is leaving tomorrow at 6 AM, you gotta work for a month at yadda yadda yadda", I mean, JESUS CHRIST people! And to make it worse, I'm terrified of flying, so it's like saying to someone with fear of snakes "Tomorrow we're gonna have you stay at a cage full of snakes. For a week.". And then I gotta get the plane tickets and book the freaking flight myself because I'm a consultant so they supposedly think I ENJOY doing things for my own all the time, and now I gotta run for the visas and stuff, and I don't get paid while doing that! God forbid pay the consulting firm for hours he didn't spend at the office, because he was busy BANGING at the door of the Kuka-Monga consulate screaming "Let me in! Let me in! I need a visa for tomorrow!", and don't they think I have PLANS? I had a lot of things to do this week! And every single time, they let me know about the trip literally at the last SECOND, sometimes really a few hours before, maybe so I won't make up any excuses or something, yeah right, like if I was going to avoid a business trip I HAVE to make. God damn it I'm so pissed. Now I gotta find some tranquilizers or something, because I have this plane fobic thing, I panic in planes, and now I'm afraid secret services dudes will, like, shoot me because I look a little nervous while boarding and that seems suspicious! I swear I'm gonna claim I've worked 20 hours every day, so they PAY me back for this s***t! And if I have to spend x-mas by myself at the hotel drinking from the mini-bar and watching this creepy foreign TV I swear I'm gonna sue their asses!

DAMN I'm so pissed off right now, sorry... It happens EVERY single time!
