    If not the people we work for went to the same institution of higher learning....

    I had to finally tell the Huge Boss* that I found her emails to be cryptic.
    -------------------------------------

    We had a meeting and she pulls out a report that she had put together that would show where we were in reporting process, the Huge Boss took it out of her hand, glanced at it and said to her, "these reports are of NO use to me..."
    The HB then slid the paper, back across the desk AT her.

    The HB was BRUTAL to her. We now have to report weekly, instead of Biweekly.

    Why? Because she took it upon herself to revamp the reports and calculate the values down to the minute...

    I have modified my report to reflect the information you
    need. The report numbers are sum by day, pay period and month. This format
    shows more accurate OR hours and minutes. In previous format reports the
    hours are converted to a number then converted back to hours, some minutes
    are lost in the conversion for the cases and these value adds up at the end
    of the month.


    The reports she 'modified' have been in use for 17 years....and are used at 12
    facilities in the state. Needless to say, that didn't last long.

    I have noticed that in the recent emails being circulated, people have started to work 'around' her...

    Some people were made for some jobs. This job ain't for her.


    *I have a boss, big boss and huge boss and super huge boss, no reflection on them, it's the position they hold.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    Divided we fall.

    I would be livid She was probably trying to make herself look good. Guess she got a huge surprise. I'm glad he roasted her butt. However, as usual, it's the peons that get the brunt of it. Sorry you'll be having more meetings. Why in the world is she a supervisor? It really chaps my hide to hear of people like this making a big salary(probably has a take home car) and can't even do a half as*ed job of it. I'm sure it made your day.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Don't worry joycenalex, most supervisors who get canned wind up working at the post office as management.

    Update?

    We have had two "meetings" with the big boss-

    I am starting to feel badly for this gal.

    To be THAT computer saavy and not have any common sense is really scary.

    -------------------------------

    I wait until she leaves in the afternoon so I am assured she is out of the parking structure when I leave.

    Can I apply for the job???
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    You bet!



    My boss, who thinks the Sys Admin is a geek, has applied to become her boss!

    Should this come to pass, I'll have the "Power That Be" on my side!!!
