Unique is a pleasant way to put it..... ;D  ... even though it gets rough sometimes, it is ALL good.....despite the messed up thinking by some, I like'em.  Good people... :yes:

Maybe, if they were fined for not doing their jobs, and then fired, they would be more willing to get it done.

You have my vote! When does your campaign start? ;D

Not that I'm around very much lately, but you've always been one of my favorite posters. You offer such level-headed, calm and logical thoughts that bring balance to rest of us who may be....er....excitable. ;D

I love these guys though, despite our differences, we've been together for years and I've always perferred the "company" here. :yes:

Oh wait! This isn't supposed to be a touchy feely thread!


I have a situation where someone in authority is keeping me out of the loop. I've discovered that it isnt just me, but other people who should have information regarding their customers that he isn't sharing. The dilemma is that we don't have enough information to do a specific job and then we look stupid because we don't have the information. We spin our wheels and then when we go back to our organization for either a status update or to get more info, their reaciton is, "you should have known XYZ" and therefore the delay caused by not knowing is unacceptable. :mad: I've talked to this supervisor about this issue a few times. I still can't figure out if he is intentially keeping the information from us or if he's just scatter-brained. He won't give me information to share with my team, but then he'll walk past every team member to get to my desk to ask me to gather the team. Really? You pay me to be an assistant? When you actually have an assistant who isn't me and is paid less? I've informally elevated the concern (his boss is a former supervisor of mine) and it's known that he's dropping the ball, but apparently there's other priorities right now. Meanwhile, my team is suffering.

I decided to bypass him and go to his sources. I will share information and if he gets upset, then I'll remind him of our previous conversations and explain how we got to this point.

Sandy, right back at you. As for you and "these guys," it's the differences in personality, the intelligence, the different ways of thinking and expressing and interacting that sometimes make me laugh out loud or stop and think  :eek: or  :smitten: or  :spooked: or :yes:

Drama addicts. Seriously they seem to get high on the stuff and in their emotionally clouded mind, think the rest of us enjoy that crap. If they kept it to themselves, I wouldn't care, but its kinda hard to have a drama party alone, I guess. ;D

Sometimes poverty is a good thing. At least you don't have to read about it on Facebook.  :rolleyes:
