So very sorry about the delay. I'm sure that when Chris sees me next, he'll give me a swift kick in the nuts for making you guys wait an extra week. That's why he's the champion of the people. He knows when to kick another man in the balls.
You're back, you're forgiven. Just puleeeeeze don't let it happen again. ;-)
5. 'cat-face' Spiders
4. over-eager new hires constantly talking when you're trying to work (& they should be outside working)
3. a "boss" that's never there but calls you 500 times a day while YOU'RE trying to work.
2. a "boss" that has not-one-clue what you do or how to do it.
1. can you guess? my "boss" (otherwise I love my job, really....)
That reminds me...
Chris, I need you to send me your list for tomorrow. So I can post it next August.
5. It is always freezing in here.
4. People who call but don't really know what they want to say or ask.
3. Bureaucratic paperwork and committees.
2. Overly loud, very personal conversations about religion or medical issues. That I can overhear. Because we work in a cube farm.
1. Supervisor who doesn't know what it is that you do, despite the fact that she hired you, and as a result, occasionally slaps down some vice-grip micromanagement just to make sure that you don't step out of line -- although she doesn't know where that line should be drawn because, again, she doesn't know what you do. Which just causes problems.
