What a Day
ZOMG!! What a boring, yet work-filled, day! I have spent the whole day workig on a project that will not be anywhere near completion by the end of the week. The boss has really screwed me on this one.
Yeserday he came running into my office demanding to know what the status on project "R" was. I told him that we were waiting for the other side to get their act together adn in the mean time we were using our energy to pull together some of the other loose ends. THis was not acceptable to him. He DEMANDED to know what was going on. I looked at him and calmly explained that there's very little I can do to make others (especially people in different states) work with us in a more expeditious manner. I told him I would nag them via email and phone. He seemed to like this response and it got him out of my office.
Now I'm stuck working my tail off to clean up a series of messes he made. His ham fisted approach to negotiations and general business practice leaves me with a lot to deal with on the backs ide. I'm constantly taking heat for not cleaning up his messes fast enough. I guess you get to impose that on people when you're "The Boss".
