Okay. New job, new idiot. More later.

Sorry I haven't been here in a while, but life has intervened.

The best thing is, I have a new job!!! I am getting out of this shithole, and I can tell y'all a little something about what I have been doing for the past year.

I worked for a non-profit organization (I won't say which one, but NBC did a telethon to raise money to donate to us). Anyway, along about May of last year, the moo cow who was my idiotic supervisor decided to quit and started training the administrative assistant (read: piss boy) whom I'm pretty sure she was boning to take over her job. I found out 3 days in advance she was leaving. (Company policy states that if a position is coming open, then a month's notice MUST be given for interviews, etc).

Okay....First off, I'm back!!! I was extremely busy for a while, but I'm here now. Anyway, I got a call from someone I respect and trust last night saying they saw my supervisor at the Adult Video store...IN THE COMPANY CAR!!! I wonder if my stupidvisor is trying to get canned....

I got this email today...and my head didn't feel like exploding after I read it...

This is even funnier when you realize it's real! Next time you have a bad day
at work... think of this guy... Rob is a commercial saturation diver for
Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore
drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it
to radio station 103.2 on FM dial in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was
sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue,

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a

Okay….check this out. I am so mean, but this worked.

My stupidvisor called me and informed me he was going to come to my office for a meeting. We talked about the time, and about how long it would last, etc. So, since he’s driving for 30 minutes, he calls me when he’s halfway here to be sure I am going to be there. I say yes, then I spring into action.

What do I do, you might ask? Here it is in a nutshell:

I print up a quote that says “No man is a leader until his appointment is ratified in the hearts and minds of his men”, then taped it up in a conspicuous place so when he talked to me, he could easily see the sign.

Okay...we teach classes where I work, and we have a book at the administrative assistant's desk where the people sign up for the classes and there is a fee schedule in this book. All you have to do is turn to the tabbed page, and get the fee schedule. Easy, right? Well, not for the office manager here. She paged me twice...once to find out the price of a class, and the second time to ask for an additonal fee. IT IS ALL IN THE FREAKING BOOK!!!!! And she's the one who laughs at me when I ask a question about something I haven't been trained in. Go figure. One of these days, my head WILL explode

Just a few questions for everyone:

What the hell do we have to do to stop this whole "Peter Principle" thing that's happening in our jobs? Why can't these people find the coloring book version of "Management for Dummies" and at least TRY to implement some concepts?

Here's a letter my stupidvisor wrote to some of our clients:

Dear Mr. Joe Schmo:

I apologize for the inconvenience. I can almost assure you this will not happen again. Thank you for your time and patients.

Excuse me...I have to go wrap my head in duct tape before it explodes...my stupidvisor's on the phone.

This is par for the course....Happened about 2 weeks or so ago.

My "stupidvisor" called me last night and said "Hey, I need you to stop by the office and pick up some stuff to take to the office." (Cracks me up...he always says "Uuuuhhh....Jason? after I say Hello) I said no problem. He then called me again (during the NBA finals, I might add) to tell me he was going to stop by and just put it in the back of my truck. I said no problem. There was a problem. I waited around until midnight, and he never showed up. So he calls me at 7:25 this morning and tells me that he didn't put it in the back of my truck last night because (and I am NOT making this up) he (and I guote) "saw lightning and didn't want the stuff to get wet"!!!!! Keep in mind, we haven't had rain in 3 months!!!
