"O.A.G." took the day off to spend with a friend from out of town so I'm here all alone doing absolutely nothing. I wouldn't have even come in today but have to wait for the company accountant to drop off some tax stuff but once he comes in I'm out of here. This office has had problems with the heating for the last 3 months and I’m about 5 minutes away from putting gloves on to type. It's sooooo fucking cold in here! Just another reason I hate this place. Another reason is "OAG" is just a dumbass sometimes. Here is an example of an e-mail she sent me this morning:
"Mr. Director of Operations asked us to schedule the meeting with West Coast Client to be one day of next next week"
Right, not "...to be in two weeks" or "...to be scheduled for the week of 1-22 to 1-26"
No she says "...to be one day of next next week." WTF!
I also had to hold back from yelling at her yesterday because I had told her the west coast client requested to see any information on the new company that was going to buy us out before they agreed to a meeting with them. To me that is understandable because if I was in their shoes I would not want to have a meeting with a group of people I knew NOTHING about. So after my meeting Tuesday with the client at the convention I called "OAG" and told her what went on AND that the client needed to see some general info about the new company before they could set a date for a meeting. I then reminded her about needing the info on Wed night when I knew she was talking to one of the employees at the new company.
So, after all that, she asks me last night to e-mail the client and set a date for the meeting between us, the new company and the client at the clients west coast office. I looked at her and said, "OK, do we have any of the info on the new company?" "OAG" said, "Well, no because they're not finished with the buy out we can't get any info" I then reminded her that I had told her for the last 2 days that we needed some kind of info on this new company before the meeting could be set. To which she then said AGAIN, "Well we can't get that because they're not finished with the buy out so we're not really the new company yet." This went on for 20 minutes to which I told her I did not care what she had to say, just get some info.
I got in this morning to 3 e-mails with info on it...all written in the HQ language that I can not either read or write. I really can not stand working in the same office as her sometimes.
Fuck it...I'm playing games, until the accountant shows up. Then I'm out of here!
Early day for me, have fun at work and have a great weekend. Back on Tuesday.Labels: blogs, boss, bullshit, ditzy, dumbass, Fired, I quit, lazy, pay check, quit, sleeping, Stupid co-workers, Work, work sucks, Your job sucks |
Love the blog! I am have the same issue with my job. I hate it and would love to quit, but I do need the pay check. I have been sending out resumes, but for the last 9 months or so, I have done jack shit. I go on 2 hour lunch breaks, surf the web, and try to enjoy my days. I don't know why, just kinda happened. I think I am in the wrong industry.
Anyhow, I shall check in from time to time to see your progress!
