Tuesday
Busy weekend trying to get some cleaning done. A losing battle. I no sooner do the dusting then there is dog and cat hair all over. Frustrating. But that is life with animals.
Got a little ticked off with my boss today. She is a wonderful lady, and great at getting stuff done, but she is a micro-manager. I went on vacation for a week once and came back and she had rearranged my office. She is a bit of a neat freak, too. Or maybe it's a minimalist. Whichever, no respect for anyone else's space. Anyhow, the problem started when I had to do the scheduling for next year. At first, she didn't understand why I had to contact people who had proposed courses. She just wanted me to schedule them. I explained we always asked people's preferences on when they wanted to teach.
Got most of the scheduling done, but for one person. Gave her about 5 different time slots that were available, but of course she wanted a time slot outside of that. So I happened to say to my boss that the person was driving me crazy. My boss got in a huff, saying part-timers are not paid very well, blah, blah and we should be as accommodating as possible to them. I told her that saying they were driving me crazy was my way of venting, but I was accommodating to them. Didn't mention about her not even wanting me to contact them in the first place.
Oh, well. My bosses change every 3 or 6 years, depending on the length of their agreements. I get one broken in and have to start all over again :-) All in all, though, she is really good to work for. And, she helped the eles.
The rest of the week should prove interesting. Have a great rest of week, my friends.
