blind_otter Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 First off, I mean come on....you tell me to make the faculty meeting minutes more "brief" and I subtly hint to you that you need to have BETTER control of the f*cking meetings because god, there are little conversations going on in the room the whole time. And I write fast. So all the faculty tenured bastards are thinking that their comments about the Dean being the most evil being ever birthed on this planet - oh they think it gets by me, the peon. The one with just the *Bachelor's degree* oh but I get it, every little comment that they make, those bastards. So I was like, well since you're firing the student assistant we have I suppose I do have to change the way that we work. She looked like I had just slapped her in the face, because I mentioned that she was firing someone. I mean come on, are we supposed to tip-toe around the issue? Ugh.

Mr Spock Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I ALWAYS read your work posts. They are highly entertaining. Not that I'm gaining amusement from your suffering. Just I think they're stupid too. Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 {to the tune of Tip Toe Through the Tulips - as sung my Tiny Tim} Tip Toe Through the Two Lips Through the Bull Sh1it Won't you come along And tip toe Through the office with me Shh Shh! I understand. My new job is frustrating for me too because I feel like I was not told the truth when I was hired. I was told that I would supervise two people. BUT -- the two people were never told that, which puts me in a bind. When I asked my boss she said she had not got confirmation from the President yet about my authority in the office. C'mon folks! I've been trying to have a meeting with the President but he's off to Lagos this week and too busy for this. I want a clear and precise understanding among ALL of us! I also need to know that my boss has my back if I delegate or supervise someone and they rebel (which is a high-risk potential problem here---another reason I was 'told' I was brought in--to handle a difficult employee who has now adamantly stated that she will not work for me or take direction from me) Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 b-o - have you ever said why it is that you don't find yourself another job? Link to post Share on other sites

Because it looks bad to go from job to job to job. I need to stay at this position until october. Then I'll have a year under my belt and I can transfer. In the state university system, if I left now I would lose all the leave time I've accumulated. If my boss doesn't want to know all the details of the conversations going on, hey, she doesn't have to. Link to post Share on other sites
