Gloocookie, did you ever solve your iPod album art problem? I posted something in tech that might be of help: tommyrot "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Oct 8, 2007 10:36:35 am PDT

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yeah, not denying the gross. I tend to skim any paragraph featuring maggots, for instance.

Well, I had to put it down last night to make dinner seem like a good idea, but I like it.

OK. I'm feeling like I don't like New Boss, and therefore I don't like this job anymore.
Which is bad. I mean, I don't want to go job-searching again so soon. And to be honest, this happens to me a lot. I've had some genuinely bad bosses--and maybe that's part of the problem. I've had just enough of the real borderline abusive stuff that I go into this kind of situation with shields up and weapons armed. It's just...even with the clarification from yesterday, I feel like I'm still an underling and a minion in her sight. This will sound like such a tiny thing, but she's the ONLY person here who upon learning I was a writer didn't ask me what I was working on or some similar question. And that's what I liked about this job so far--that I felt like everyone saw me as a worthy and intelligent person in my own right.
God, I hate this. I'm sure it's at least in part my fault, but I hate it.

Well, maybe she's afraid of looking like a soft touch or something.

And the thing is, I know I'm being prickly and probably unfair. It's just...dammit. I liked my job the way it was. And I wish she'd taken five minutes to figure out who I am and what I'm interested in.

On the one hand, instincts are often right about stuff like that. On the other... you have not exactly given her a fair chance yet. Give it some time. Then if she turns out to be a bad boss it will her fault; you won't share the responsibility because you did not give her a shot. Give her at least as much of chance as you would someone who worked for you instead being your boss.

But it is fine to mutter to mutter and say things about her here. That is one of the things this place is for. And I'm sorry you have boss settling in troubles. And like I say not discounting your feelings; there is a good chance you are right.
