• Is it SO Wrong…

  
  

  to want to kill your boss first thing in the morning??? 

  
  

  I tell ya…things have been hectic enough around here lately, but I wanted to just shoot him this morning and I’ve only been here 30 MINUTES!!!

  
  

  See…I work in the safety department for an electrical contractor…we build all of those big power lines and such that you see.  Well, my boss does the training for the company and then sends me lists of courses and people who’ve had the training for every class he teaches.  These things are recorded in a safety software program that we have…but our parent company doesn’t have the same software…so it has to be converted into their codes and inputted into their software as well.  A waste of time eh?  I think so.  Anyway…normally someone from the parent company would do this…but they cut back on positions last year and no one ever inputted the records.  So now they haven’t had any info put into the database for our company for almost 2 years. 

  
  

  Can you guess who they want to do this?  Yup…as if I have time to do that and do my boss’ job as well as my own while he’s out gallavanting around the countryside doing training.  I don’t have the time and I don’t know the software.  In fact…we only have one computer in our office that even has the software on it…so in order to even input this info. I’d have to be in another office…which is not a good idea considering the amount of calls that I deal with a day.  *sigh*

  
  

  Well…my boss was telling someone this morning that he thinks that it would only take a couple of weeks to input the info from the last 2 years (he’s on crack).  Umm…I don’t THINK so you moran!  It’ll take at least a couple months…but he has NO clue…he’s never even touched the database software that it needs to be inputted into!!  And yet he’s talking as if he has a clue?  I HATE that!!!!

  
  

  I’m just one of those people that if I have NO idea as to what I’m talking about…I just keep my big mouth shut.  But NOOOOOOOOOO…he has to run off at the mouth as if he’s an expert on the subject!

  
  

  Sorry guys…but this just erks me beyond belief!!

  
  

  He says to me, “so why are you getting so defensive?  If I stated the wrong time…so what?”   So what?? Oh…well, I’m the one that has to deal with this and he tells the controller that he only thinks that it will take a couple of weeks to get it done…well, then I won’t be getting any help in completing it.  They will expect me to do that as well as everything else!! 

  
  

  Can you say overload?

  
  

  I refuse to be dumped on…and I’ll quit before I will allow them to overload me again.  They’ve done this to me too many times in the past.
